It is a simple fact that the political leanings of communities can be determined by voting records. The non-partisan research group Bay Area Center for Research (BAVCR) has been able to determine the extent to which the voters support liberal or conservative candidates by region. They do this simply by referencing voting records of Cities in the USA. Then they ranked the cities according to Most Liberal and Most Conservative according to the percentage of votes cast in one direction or the other. Once they had done that it is not a difficult task to correlate other data accordingly. The fact is the correlations of crime data which I presented do not present a very favorable description of the Liberal regions of America. I will be happy to take responsibility for presenting the truth supported by facts. You took it upon yourself to suggest another correlation based on race. If there is such a correlation, I was not aware of it until you and tejek took it upon yourselves to raise the issue and blamed everything on African Americans. You are responsible for making that association. It has long been known that you two are extreme racists, who've fled such communities but that doesn’t change the facts. Your racist claim, however, is not a perfect correlation since from the top ten lists we see two of the Liberal cities did not support your claim that the data was race driven. In addition, there are many other races of people in these cities. The #3 Liberal city, Berkeley California, has only a 10% African American population The #8 Liberal city, Cambridge Massachusetts, has only an 11% African American population. The #9 Conservative City of Lafayette Louisiana has a much larger percentage of African American people with 29% African American.
