I've met plenty of white people who can't stand the cold right here in New Hampshire. People complain about it endlessly, to the point where I wonder why they choose to live here if they hate the cold so much. And many of these people are native to the area. You'd figure if they grew up in it they'd get used to it. People who live in the south have told me that some people complain endlessly about the heat there as well. Some people love to be miserable I guess.


You have to remember too that all of New England is about the size of a single state when you put it all together. If you think of the upper New England states as being like the Upper Peninsula in Michigan you'd probably get a similar percentage of whiteness, but it comes out differently in the statistics because they are their own states and are counted separately. I'm sure many larger states have regions with similar demographics to northern NE, even some states that are thought of as being more diverse.

If they need more younger people because of an aging population just say that. We need more younger workers. It's odd they feel they have to attract people by race.

They talked about needing to attract young workers too.

You really can't compare cities to rural areas.
Plenty of Black people in the suburbs of those cities with driveways to shovel. Rural areas aren't the only places where shoveling snow is a requirement. Suburbs you have to do that. Black people in the suburbs of Detroit, suburbs of the Twin Cities, suburbs of Cleveland,etc.

And that's where they should have stopped. All three states have aging populations, that is the issue.

The hard truth these folks are going to have to admit is leaders in NE never wanted minorities up there. That is why they remain nearly 100% one demographic. And that's ok, this is America. Blacks and yellow purple people have lived elsewhere and will still do so.

But rural, city, lake shore and downtown excuses don't matter. Blacks went where folks wanted them. In the South that often mean clumped together. In the Midwest it meant in the factory.

I am positive many slaves would have went straight up to Maine. Maine made sure there was no easy way that happened. Just be honest, you can't make fun of TN but ME believed the same things when it came down to it.

Now that has effects because blacks are on the way up, hence Nashville rocking and NE losing population.

What exactly have these New England states done to keep minorities out? They are all blue, they are cheaper to live in than many areas of Mass. or California. Vermont is basically socialist.

In the past, old age security was based on one's progeny - or charity.
Under socialism, people presume that taxes on "other people's children" will support them, and so they forego the tax-inflated expense and bother of having children. Extend that across a whole nation, and you get a disaster, as the growing population of pensioners are supported by an ever shrinking population of young taxpayers... like Europe is facing right now.

The remedy is simple : abolish socialism.

Funny you mention where you live. I know White people from Wisconsin and Minnesota who moved to the Atlanta area because they wanted to get away from the cold. They've told me up front. Many people in the South will talk about the heat in a bad way. However, many of them prefer dealing with heat than the cold. Myself personally, I'll take a 30 degree day over a 90 degree day. And I live in the South.

It depends on what state you're talking about. Massachusetts on its own has 6,859,819 people (and increasing). Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont combined have a population smaller than Connecticut. Geographically, all of New England's land area would be close in size to the state of Missouri. New England has a population of over 14 million, more than twice that of Missouri. However, the distribution of New England's population is heavily uneven. Obviously, Boston dominates over New England, with the Greater Boston region stretching from southern New Hampshire (Manchester, Nashua, and Portsmouth) to Rhode Island (Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick). Portions of Connecticut are under the sphere of the NYC Tri-State region.

New England has a sizable population. Most of it is in southern New England. The far north of New England doesn't get many people.

Westerners and Japanese have very low fertility rates. This means the end of Western Civilization (Japan loves Western values). And we will then enter a dark age where the Islam Theocracy rules the world. This nay last for a while because the men will have four kids with each of the four wives. yeah, let's thank the left for this one.
