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.

Moving to Arkansas to get away from black people? :rotf: In what perpendicular universe could this be true?

Minnesota has lots of blacks from Sweden and Norway that immigrated there in the 1800s.

Amazingly, they happen to be blonde.

:hi5: In DUmp land, all the blacks left the South to escape all the racist rednecks and klansmen.

I'm torn
On one hand, we know that DUmmies lie. All the time, DUmmies lie. It is a verifiable fact of life.
On the other hand...
This account has elements which are all too true.
I grew up and spent 30 some odd years in minnesota, about 30 minutes north of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. I left about 24 years ago.
In that 24 years, MN has indeed become a shithole. There was a time when you could drive through Minneapolis or Saint Paul at midnight or later...leaving a concert for example, and never worry about it or your surroundings. Now, I wont even get off the freeway anywhere close to those cities when I visit. The criminal element, particularly since the saint floyd riots, is emboldened like maybe no other, and if you dare to defend yourself you'll be put through a process which is intended to punish at a minimum even if they can't throw you in a dark hole forever.
The state of MN has fallen a great deal since the days when Bud Grants Vikings played outdoors, and the worst things in the state were the mosquitos, the taxes, and the wintertime temps.
