The Election Result Meltdown Thread

Yea, I guess we both have our issues. Your is with people who live in Utah and I understand you would respond to me as you did, since your standard for calling someone racist is very low.

i don't think I called anyone racist.

I'm just linking an article that might shed some light on Bobby Jindals recent comments. I figured some people here might appreciate the article.

You know what you inferred. I am one of the ones on here who actually admire your trolling skills, as you are continuing to do with me. I just think trolling with issues as serious as racism isn't cool.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

I do appreciate you are clarifying that in the previous thread concerning BB players and your "you are sensitive" comment, you weren't calling me racist.

He may have been referring to this: after the election results were announced, Utah rocketed to the fourth highest spot in the country.....for racist tweets about Obama.

Utah tied with North Dakota as fourth worst.

Alabama led in racist tweets sent out about Obama’s victory, followed by Mississippi and Georgia.

Texas is not in the top 5 even with 10x the population?

Keep in mind that there were only 312 (or so) tweets in the entire country. I can't believe they have gotten as much press as they have with this study.

In order for this to be an accurate new story, rather than just the typical left wing accusations of racisim, the Trib needs to point out that in today's America, anyone who didn't vote for Obama is a racist.

I'd like to see which states are the most bigoted against Mormons as per their tweets, but that site has failed to collect that data.

You are better at catching what is said in an article than I. I have a tendency to lose focus even if it is short.

Did they say what the criteria was for being a "racist" tweet. For instance, saying I can't believe a black man has been elected President twice could be the response of someone being racist or proud of the countries move away from racism.
