Ocelot II (130,128 posts)So I just got this email from an in-law:Subject line: "Glad i left 26 yrs ago""What a shit hole, Mn has become. A real shame," with links to racist and false YouTube videos about Somalis.I haven't spoken to this nasty old bat in those 26 years since she moved to Arkansas, and I don't know why she sent me this crap. She said years ago that she moved to AR to get away from high taxes and black people. What upsets me that this rhymes-with-witch is married to an actual relative with whom I am on good terms, but who seems to be the original source of the YouTube links. My blood pressure went through the roof when I read it and my first impulse to respond with a comment like "I'm glad you left, too," with links to US News and Wallet Hub ranking the states (MN #4 vs. AR #44, https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings, and MN #5 vs. AR #48, https://wallethub.com/edu/best-states-to-live-in/62617), but I suspect that said nasty old bat is trying to stir the pot. I am deeply disappointed in the relative and angry at his nasty old bat wife but life is too short; I know that mine isn't the shit hole state, and my Somali neighbors are better people than she is. I deleted the email.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221069258
Moving to Arkansas to get away from black people? In what perpendicular universe could this be true?
Minnesota has lots of blacks from Sweden and Norway that immigrated there in the 1800s.
