There are black people in Alaska?
I'm one of them.

not terribly surprising, the midwest is racist as fuck
Study after study has shown that white men and women with no degrees (or even HS diplomas in some fields) have higher chances at jobs than black men and women with degrees.
At some point we need to call a spade and spade.
You're the whitest state in the nation, which is a big part of that.Man, I love my NH. We seem to rule whatever best of listings that come our way.
My argument wasn't that "we're all suffering" so much as "if it's bad for white people, it's going to be holy shit bad for black people"
There are black people in Alaska?
1.5% according to 2015 data makes it more like ~20k, but 20k treated relatively well against whatever criteria this particular review looked at, opposed to other states. Nice to hear, in any case.I did the math some years ago and found we have 10-12k black people in a state of 1.3 million. I think sample size creates a problem.
Also, if you ban criminal history checks, you end up with an increase in discrimination against black people.
I'm one of them.
What little may be there, I plan on adding to it. I hope to retire in either Alaska or Maine, but after hearing about the North East states, I might set my sights more on Alaska instead.
The South
"Hey, they got their side a'town and we got ours. Long's they don' date none of my sisters, we won't have problems."
The Midwest
"Say, Margie, what's that black feller doin' on the lawn?"
"Says he's from the 'lectric company, yah?"
"Oh, okie."
*lingers at the window long enough to make eye contact, then shuffles behind the curtain*
The Northeast
"[N-Word], I told that [N-Word] that ain't no [N-Word] gonna do shit 'round here, muh-fucka!"
*black person walks by*
"And, uh, he told me, 'Dude, you better get," um, 'you better get out of my face,' *whispers, covers mouth* ...[N-Word]."
*sweats profusely*
The West
"I was totally gonna jump in there, but you know, there were hella Canadians, and I'm not gonna, like, fuck around with those dudes."
Actually, you could probably split up The West into like 4-5 variants. I imagine the Pacific Northwest version is just blatant confusion over seeing a black person.
Alaska's on my retirement list.
Nice farm, good hunting, open air, peace and quiet, no racist jerkoffs or, if there are, I got guns.
Perfect for me.
Being from Connecticut originally, this doesn't even remotely surprise me that CT is 5th.
I live in the Midwest these days and can confirm. I've lived more or less all over the country (mostly coastal) and Midwest racism is different. At least here in Nebraska, white people really have almost no exposure to black people. I'm sort of surprised that Nebraska didn't make the list, as Omaha has one of the highest black on black crime rates in the country, but has a very small black population compared to many other states.
But the difference between living here and in Virginia or Georgia is night and day. Even "heritage not hate" white people in the South have some sort of casual exposure to black people and have at least a few black acquaintances. But in the Midwest it's not entirely uncommon for white people to know literally zero black people.
Yup. Kansas isn't good for anyone.Didn't Kansas reelect the dude that sent them into the toilet?

Kinda shocked by Minnesota, thought it was fairly liberal
I thought Oregon would've been on there for the white utopia stuff.

Not all shocked that Connecticut has a big problem with racial segregation and income disparity. Tends to be the case with a lot of the northeast states 🤔
I don't know about the rest of the Midwest, but Ohio is actually very vocal about their racism. Here's my favorite.
"There's a difference between a black guy and a n*****."
Maryland still can always improve, but I'm proud it's still a state where we have reps in government and more opportunities in general.

Rust belt/Midwest is the new South. As a Michigan resident this is embarrassing.

Taking it back to Ohio, it really seems like a state with multiple personalities. The eastern portion is very much classic rust belt with the Cleveland metro area. But then you've got Columbus, which, from what I've read, can lean liberal or conservative depending on the day, and hosts the gigantic Ohio State University (pardon me, the Ohio State University, *groan*). Cincinnati is basically Northern Kentucky, and from what others have told me, Northwestern Ohio feels like an extension of Indiana - essentially blue-collar conservatives.
.
Mississippi isn't there? Hmm. I always thought that state was the worst for blacks.
I thought Oregon would've been on there for the white utopia stuff.
As much as it wouldn't have made sense, a small part of me was relieved not to see Arizona on a list of "Look how fucked these states are" for once.
*hides top ten worse states for Latinos and native americans lists*
Why you think the Underground Railroad stopped in Canada ?
Wow
How is it?
