Hmm.. the predominantly black regions are conspicuously hard to climb the ladder

crabs in a bucket?

nah, i'm just fucking with you and i don't really believe that (though i see a lot of it, i don't think it's the cause of these demographic trends). i see that map and i wonder about it, but correlation is not causation, and contrary to what you believe it's not all a white man conspiracy to keep the black man down. there are many reasons why the poor stay poor. but yes, atrocious schooling can be racialized, etc. but it's not all.

what about white appalachians though? how do you interpret their permanent state of blight? they live in those same areas, by the way.
