re: that baseball map, I think one user brought it up, but otherwise everyone's ignoring the effect of transplants from other places staying loyal to their old teams. People move around a lot, and there definitely are places in the US where transplants make up a big portion of the population compared to those raised in the area. When I went to high school in central Florida in the early '00s, I think people like me who were born in the area might have actually been outnumbered by Californians, Georgians, and New Yorkers. Or at least it often felt that way. Also, could the data have been affected by people who aren't very invested in the MLB and are just kinda "uh sure I like the Yankees/Sox, whatever I guess" because those teams are familiar to the disinterested? That might contribute to the Yankee/Sox presence in places that aren't near any MLB franchises.

It should be also mentioned that Metallica played a concert in the parking lot of the coliseum right before the raider game in the afc championship against the titans https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vQbzVIzKmgo

Yeah honestly I find it more impressive to have had it on the books and decide "No. We want this to be okay" when still in the 1700s than the states that simply never bothered to make a law about it at all. (Kansas is also impressive because that was actively during Bleeding Kansas.)

I wonder if interracial couples got married in those states like how same sex couples used to go to Massachusetts and if anyone has ever documented that.

Duckbox posted:I wonder if interracial couples got married in those states like how same sex couples used to go to Massachusetts and if anyone has ever documented that. Almost certainly, and in fact the plaintiffs in Loving v. Virginia did just that. They skipped the border to D.C. to actually get married, but when they returned Virginia refused to acknowledge the validity of the marriage certificate. The case itself actually settled that as a civil contract, marriage licenses issued by any US state had full legal reciprocity in all 50. In the 18th and 19th centuries, your neighbors would probably have just chased you out or had your heirs disinherited anyway, so if you left to get married to someone of another race, you probably just stayed gone.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:Want to take a wild guess as to why NH and VT never passed a law against interracial marriage? Whatever thing you are going to come up with, I assure you that it probably also applies to states who did pass laws against it. They both were recorded as having slaves in the 1790 census, even though it is sometimes believed that Vermont's 16 are meant to have been tabulated as free blacks. And Massachusetts (and Maine, being part of it at the time) had removed all local slaves from the state even though slave transport and sale in the harbor was allowed for a while after. fishmech fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Feb 12, 2018 |

Also what exactly does that map mean? Does it mean having sex with someone in custody is not explicitly defined as illegal or are you people barbaric enough to explicitly write down that raping prisoners is perfectly fine?
