What do you notice about this graphic?

Where exactly are these images from and why should we trust them? I notice that the map Ana the Ist posted showed STDs and diabetes differently from the map you did (to be fair, yours said "venereal disease" and his said "STDs" so perhaps the other STDs were more common in the other states). So whose chart should be trusted?

But let's show another map, which may make some people a little uncomfortable when viewed in conjunction with the maps you showed. The key is unfortunately not in the image itself (one can find it on the page though, Six maps that reveal America’s expanding racial diversity) but it's based om places that have a high presence of racial minorities.
Brown: Blacks
Blue: Asians, Native Hawaiians, an d Other Pacific Islanders
Light blue: American Indians/Alaska Natives
Green: Hispanics
Light green: Two or more minorities
White: No minority is highly represented

So here we go:

One notices the interesting fact that the "bad" maps you posted correspond rather strongly to where we see racial minorities being prominent, especially blacks.

Indeed, it seems that a white supremacist could quite happily use your charts to prove their claims of non-white people, particularly blacks, being inferior. But I have the feeling that you (and presumably whoever made that image to begin with) would disagree on that.

Disclaimer: I'm not a white supremacist. Just pointing out how easily a white supremacist could turn the argument around and use it to support their beliefs.
