    As I said earlier, people in most of America have the same access to the Internet, social media and television. It is not fair or accurate to claim that flyover country equates to ignorance. It is prejudicial.
    go look at the education levels of each state

    You look at places like the Bay Area where the best and brightest from all over the world want to come work in Silicon Valley. So we have a highly educated populace. We also have a very large poor population which exists to service those well educated and rich people. New York is not much difference.

    LA has an educated population because USC is there. LA also attracts many who come because of their looks, not their brains.

    The most money tends to be available in coastal cities so they attract the best and brightest. But being well educated, just like having more money, doesn't automatically make someone a better person.

    Does anyone think that Team Hillary made a mistake by ignoring the flyover states and the south?

    That is about money. Are you saying that black children in, say, Louisiana, are stupid? Or are you saying they don't have equal access to quality education?

    Co-host Michael Che left many viewers of the 70th Annual Emmy Awards upset during the opening monologue with his fellow "Saturday Night Live" star Colin Jost, explaining that his mother would not be watching the show on Monday night.

    "She says she doesn’t like watching white award shows because you guys don’t thank Jesus enough," Che said. "That’s true. The only white people that thank Jesus are Republicans and ex-crackheads."

    The joke didn't sit well with some viewers, who took to Twitter to complain. Not only that, the show’s ratings dropped 10 percent from last year's already-dismal numbers, setting an all-time low, according to TheWrap.

    While many viewers may have changed the channel after the opening monologue, jabs at average Americans were far from over and the Jesus gag became a running theme throughout the evening.

    Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News that

    Barron said.
    He didn't say middle America he said white people.

    Middle America = white people.

    I made no such insinuation. Confirmation bias is a powerful mind-fuck.

    OTP is mostly white, dude.

    Don't try and play the game of Georgia demographics with me. You're going to lose.
