Racist Election Tweets


Courtesy of FloatingSheep.org
Check out this post over at the FloatingSheep.org. Using a methodology they describe in detail in their post, the guys over at FloatingSheep determined how many racist tweets were posted after the presidential election. 

They found 395 "hate tweets", geolocated them, and then mapped them out on a per-state basis. I'll let you take a look at the map and draw your own conclusions, since this is a kinda touchy topic.
