I won't share the email but I thought this blog comment should open a few eyes.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:Racism isn't dead in the south, as the comment came from a former slave state. I have confirmed the sender's email address.
Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
You live in one of those demoncrat counties, or a safe, white county? Humm?
Just to make sure everyone notices this error. If the GOP won 29 states and the Democrats won 19 states, then we only have 48 states.
The information on the murder rate is incorrect as well. The average murder rate in the year 2000 was 5.5 per 100,000. If the murder rates were correctly stated, the average murder rate would have been over 7.3 per 100,000.
I see no point to the comment other than racism.
