And why should it be surprising that there would be hate on the Indian Reservations? I'm sure the hate moves in more than one direction between numbers of different groups.
It is Susanville Rancheria, with 150 residents, you think they are tweeting enough to skew the average? Tweeting Indians, sounds like a baseball team in Tweeting Pennsylvania. And that is it, Ruth4truth has a demonstrated tough time with maps, there are no other indian rancherias or reservations near Susanville.

You REALLY missed the point, which I'd explained some posts ago. It's not about tweeting Indians. It's about the fact that racism against Indians often is high in communities in close proximity to the rez's. As another member commented earlier, it's the "white-eyes" tweeting about the Natives.

It's amazing what you can learn by reading all the relevant posts.

However, you made a snarky remark about maps, which I commented on, and which you conveniently ignored. Now for purposes of rationality, I highly doubt the good citizens of Susanville spend much time tweeting about their neighbors, fellow church attendees, and fellow citizens, the 150 or so indios who live in the rancheria. Particularly when the good citizens of Susanville spend a great deal of time and money on the Rancheria.

Try it. It's legal amongst consenting adults in the privacy of your own home. If you want, I can point you to some videos for you and your partner so you can get the hang of it. And, if you really like it, you and you partner can hook up with other couples and tweet each other.
I believe there are all sorts of devices and aids to assist you with tweeting.
Finally, it's no fun to tweet by yourself.

No. But it is safer.

Dude, who're you talking to here? lol Who's the King of Snark on this forum? Your posts crack me up! "Tweeting Indians", I'm busting a gut, ROFLMAO! Lassen County isn't even on that "hate map", as I believe lady Ruth admitted in her first post on the topic. "The good citizens spend a great deal of time and money on the Rancheria"? You make it sound like they've got some charity projects going. It's a CASINO, dude, they're just entertaining themselves. And fyi, many casinos barely break even, if that. I haven't done a study of it so don't throw stats at me, but I doubt there's enough population in and around Susanville to make a casino profitable. As long as it keeps tribal members in jobs, that's good enough, but I doubt it pulls in enough to run some of the social and health services the Rancheria needs that the BIA budget falls short on.

btw, check the Tribal Lands/Cali map. There are rancherias right where the the hate map indicates some max hate. I think there may well be something to this apparent correlation.

Oh, are we heading off-topic? Sorry, mods. No hate here, how about you, "villain"? Quite a moniker you got yourself, there. Have a nice weekend. Cheers.

Zorba over and out.

Tahoe is full of conservatives. Whether or not they'd be tweeting hate speech, I wouldn't know. You have to be hardcore to do that sh*t.

And aside from a few bigoted simpleton locals, Tahoe has quite a bit of nasty tourists....my theory is that people experience mild altitude sickness when they come in from sea level gaining over 6000ft in several hours and it makes them nuts. I mean "irritability" being one of the symptoms.
