Map of hate hotspots from twitter

[-benedetto]

The map didn't pull up too good on my phone but this study is pretty interesting. The map highlights where hate tweets are generated from. It's not surprising it follows population trends but still pretty cool to see to say the least.

Haha there's a huge red dot right over my town.

 

[Phil-X-]

hahahaha love the fact that the north is as red as the south yet always calls the south racist af

Actually most of it is in the town about 30 min away. But when you click on "queer" a little bit of blue comes up. I'm kind of surprised it isn't more though.

 

[ModMommy]

Surprised South Lake Tahoe has more hate than Helena...

 

[APunx176]

notice how Colorado and Washington have a small amount of hate tweets coming from it.

Coincidence? I think not

 

[SFB]

cmon colorado step it up you pussies

 

[theBearJew]

Shocked at how not red Florida is.

 

[bighomieflock]

It's impossible to hate in Colorado when you're hitting that legal peace pipe

 

[Brocka_Flocka]

Well I know where the skin-heads are in Idaho

[Chunter]

I zoomed in and most of the hate was directly over cloquet. The only time duluth and superior didnt have much at all.

Is Cloquet St. Louis county? They did it on a county level for privacy

Well it is... but that doesn't mean all racists/homophobes live in the south. Our country is full of racism which shouldn't surprise anyone.

I think it might be im not sure though. If thats the case duluth has a ton of hate.

What is this "we" shit? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

pretty sure cloquet is carlton county

 

[RubberSoul]

Shocked at how not red Florida is.

maybe in 10 years when they learn to use computers they'll catch up

also pretty nuts how split it is between east and west. i know and love cali but im still surprised how non-red it is

 

[iH8pow]

cmon colorado step it up you pussies

Seriously, the definition of progressive is seeing what others have done, and one-upping them. We should be so red that they have to create a new color for colorado

 

[SnowshoeThompson]

hard to believe that LA is relatively clear

 

[smooter]

i want to see the rest of the world

 

[Byron_tha_gr8]

What is this "we" shit? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

No I just thought racism was over so we should ignore all intraracial issues.

 

[notspoicey]

hood river is red.......?

 

[DUCKS]

Well apparently Attica, Indiana would be a horrible place to live if you're not white

 

[JGWI]

Northwestern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota? There isn't enough people there to be red. Maybe everyone is complaining how cold it is.
