The South Rises Again

So, just try and follow this. I am teaching a lesson in Sunday School on Sunday about the armor of God. One of the subjects is immorality. One of the listed problems of immorality is disease. Being a data junkie, I wanted to know what percent of the US population has an STD. (I love harrowing statistics.) In my searching, I found this fascinating chart of, well, I guess one could call it the Chlamydia belt. Or, as Christina said when she saw the chart, "Why are you looking at...*pause*, ew, what is wrong with the South?" Seriously, as if losing the Civil War wasn't bad enough...

According to the census' Ancestries map of 2000, it appears that the disease is highest in areas where Blacks or Native Americans are the majority. Explain that?
