1. It wasn't even a STATE yet, they didn't have a government, infrastructure...anything.
2. Everything you see today in my state is because of Anglos.
3. Native descendants today pretty much all receive a handsome check every month via the casinos, so I suspect they don't want us gringos to leave now.
Is that how you assuage your guilt...by giving them a check?

How about when that bridge fell into the water? That count?
The Indians didn't have an infrastructure? The irony. LMAO
So what? The claim was that it has been rising exponentially since the 90's, not that the crime rate is twice what it was in 1960. It has not been rising exponentially, certainly not since the 1990's.

No. Unless you call tipis and wild rice "infrastructure".

288K violent crimes in '60 versus 1,163K in '13 isn't a major increase? LMFAO
Also:
- as I stated before I am speaking on behalf of MN I could not give a hoot what happens in whatever part of the trash nation is happening. 500 murders in Chicago really don't matter to me, since I am not a Chicago native, for example.
- your link is in no way "reputable" nor does it break anything down along the lines of RACE.
Look at "The Color of Crime" if you want a better representation of your "stats".
And the rest of us are bored with Minnesota this, Minnesota that. It's a distracting hijack from the original intent of the thread. Is it possible that this debate could move to DM or one of you could establish a C-D social group? There you two or three could focus strictly on MN and go point by point without all the pesky interruptions from people who would like to have a more general discussion about the topic at hand.
Well, you can look at in on a personal level if you choose to but none of the positive things that were mentioned had anything to do with racism. Those are the things that were better than the present and racism still exists today. Progressiveness is based on less moral values and liberalism and I don't want any part of that. Again, you bring racism into the issue which of course wasn't one of the positives but why can't you admit at least that the things mentioned were positives instead of focusing on the negative and only focusing on racism?
Because those positives don't really apply to EVERYONE.
And don't try to be the Morality Police. I get sick of people doing that. Here's a newsflash...
In reality, those days really weren't all that morally sound when you really think about it.
No. Unless you call tipis and wild rice "infrastructure".

That pretty much says it all about you and your attitude. If you weren't engaged or interested, logic dictates that you wouldn't comment so apparently you don't have the power of your expressed opinions and convictions.
Yes, this country has and has had a myriad of social issues. Most nations have and do. We're not unique. We had some in the 40s and 50s. We had those and others in the 60s and 70s and beyond. Some get better. Others crop up. Welcome to the real world.
As an aside, the wild rice is phenomenal and we order it regularly.

So, again, I stand by what I stated before. Diversity has only brought more garbage.
