So it couldn't possibly be that your thesis is flat out wrong? Everywhere I've ever been in NYC or central to south Florida is far more diverse than where I've been in any of those states on the list, except Atlanta.
There's factors to stress, diversity is one of them. Like I said before, some parts of NYC is all white and they want to keep it that way (Howard Beach, Staten Island)

East New York is predominately Black, a Black City Councilman Charles Barron himself wants whites not to come to live in ENY.

People are tribal.

Oklahoma is meth central as well......progressives shouldn't be bashing these states, because these states have a lot of Indigenous people----the precious Native Americans that some one the Left like to bash white males about......Dems should try to win Indigenous states like the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, instead of attacking it as "flyover" country because of how rural whites are.
I'm an Okie, may family has been here since before statehood. A big chunk of my family are card carrying Cherokee and growing up in Eastern Oklahoma I have many friends and ex-girlfriends that are card carrying. Saying Oklahoma isn't that diverse isn't bashing Oklahoma it's the truth. You calling it "meth central" is bashing it.

Oklahoma is 74% white, 11.1% Hispanic, 9.4% Native American, and 7.8% Black. Florida is far more diverse.

So are Oklahoma and West Virginia meth centrals due to how "diverse" we are, or because of how poor and uneducated we are? I think it probably has much more to do with the later than the former. Either way your thesis doesn't survive even the tiniest amount of challenge, there are far more diverse states that aren't top 10 stressed.

It is stressful to be poor, stupid, and have no options. Especially when your idea of "entertainment" is listening to people rage all day everyday.
That's a great point. I think that's exactly part of the reason why people in cities tend to be better about sociopolitical issues.

There's actually shit to do That uses up and entertains your brain waves, And you get to see different types of people, You have less time to listen to Fox News And Republicans and become terrible.

As I've always said most of these evil people now could have turned out better. I believe they that most of them started off with the same chances we all had. But circumstances dictated otherwise and at this point we just have to realize who the evil enemy is. That path was taken and it's too late.

So Ghetty's stance is pretty much "Keep the minorities away from me so I dont have to be a racist." Probably also the dude who thinks "Don't be pretty if you don't want to get raped.". And finally, he likely agrees that Poland forced the Nazis to invade.

If that was the case, explain Bernie Goetz, Daniel Penny, Officer Justin Volpe, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the Gottis, etc.

Living in a diverse environment does not mean racial harmony exists.

People aren't born racist, and not all whites are racist, as many in the Left claim. Places like Utah, Idaho, etc. don't have to think about race because there aren't much minorities there to disdain.....that is what I am saying, don't get it twisted.

His argument seems to be "It's your fault I'm racist. If you didn't exist I wouldn't have to think about you and thinking about people who look different upsets me".
It's not a massive stretch from that to "Well how about we make it so you don't exist and then everything in my world would be better"

I'm more worried that you would find this credible or interesting at all. CNBC? Fox news can write the same article and replace the locations with urban "democrat" locations. Silly bullshit.

What you are saying is a common point of view among whites that don't think they are racists. They don't see themselves as racists and don't particularly like being labeled as such. But your point of view is upside down. What you are doing is saying that racism is the product of being around other races and aware of it and that this does not happen when everybody is the same race. In short you are saying that races causes racism and sameness of race does not. But this is an obvious precursor. What is required on top of that is the faculties of language and thought as an an initiator of judgment, the capacity to characterize and conceptualize differences and imply positive and negative judgment to those differences. You don't ever have to meet a person of a different race to carry that stupid implant.

Take yourself for example. I sincerely doubt you are even aware of the naftoflackian kaigrung that that clings to your posts like radeolescent fluge or the bulgaceous nuclidine nostralian irritant that seeps out of them like kohan and doubtless because you lack the methodologies required to tune into the required psychic frequencies and so does everyone else. No harm no foul. Even now, while you know something is missing you can't really know what it is. The good side is that your ignorance will prevent you from feeling any stigma regarding your condition. So just ignor what I have said. Being a racist is much the prefered moral defect.

Black people hate too, like every other group. Racism is not necessarily "hate". They say it is natural to favor your own group, there is no "racism" in Utah because there are no minorities around to dislike.....it's a homogenous monocultural white state.
Too bad we don't have black people disenfranchising political power of white people to we can test your #bothsides bullshit.

Don't give me your "they" are saying. "You" are saying. To eliminate racism, you need to eliminate black people.

You are just a racist fuck.

You know there are multiple websites devoted to tracking bias and reliability of media outlets, right?

Fox: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news-bias/

CNBC: https://adfontesmedia.com/cnbc/

Fox can make up whatever they want. It won't be credible because they make shit up all the time. CNBC does not have a history of making shit up. I'm not sure who told you they do, but if I were you, I wouldn't trust that source anymore. Unless you like being lied to.

Sinema dropped out in Arizona, so there are some less stressed Dems in that state right now. Too bad there are too many minorities in Arizona, otherwise they'd be even less stressed apparently.

We don't have that, what we do have is people attacking whites just for being white, something beyond someone's control............

Two wrongs don't make a right.

As you know I have mentioned over and over again self professed conservatives have larger right amygdalas than self professed liberals and that the right amygdala is involved in reacting with fear and that these differences in brain function match conservative behavior. They will avoid stimulus, facts, that challenge notions that are comforting to their egos, sao yes, conservatives more than liberals should show the greater appetite for being lied to. Anything to not feel threat, threat that they secretly really do feel.

Strawman bullshit claim. No one here has EVER said that. You can't make a premise starting with a lie.

Question for you, who is primarily responsible for racism, blacks or whites?
Obviously whites are responsible, but to blame it on all whites and blaming everything on whites is not solving the issue either.

Name one prominent Democrat that "blames it all on whites" or "blames everything on whites."

Oh! Now you're not happy lumping everyone in an ethnicity together and saying that they all believe the same thing?!
