These Maps Show How Segregated The US Still Is Pamela EngelApr. 28, 2014, 4:59 PM America might be less segregated now than ever, but it remains far from total racial integration. 2010 Census maps, posted to Reddit by user DMan9797, illustrate this point well. Check out the maps, in which darker spots show higher population density for a particular race (click here for larger versions):The highest concentration of African-Americans is in the Southeast: Segregation maps - Imgur/U.S. Census Bureau

Hockey may be Canada's national sport but now that we're all North Americans, local ties, it seems, are the casualty of international competitiveness. It's happening again with Canada's mining giants Inco and Falconbridge. If North American integration confuses loyalties, it also rallies those on the further reaches of the ideological spectrum.

So there we have it: a Prime Minister who attacks a Muslim country with no provocation or apparent justification, a Home Secretary who believes there should be a 'test for Britishness', 17 BNP councillors and a racist police force. Does anyone mind if I don't pay my tax this year?
