Go down there sometime. You're a hell of a lot safer at both venues than hanging out in downtown Minneapolis or going to any of the sports venues.
I have not been to a football game. But when we visited we went to target Field for a baseball game and the next night I went agaign by myself. We were staying in Bloomington so I rode the light rail. NO issues I never felt unsafe. I also went to hockey at U of Minnesota no problems and took in a Wild game same weekend as the Gophers. There was a creepy guy on the light rail but we get that here in Portland too .

I have never been to KC and probably never will.

This isn’t at all relevant to the recent violence in Minneapolis.

(I didn't leave that comment - not even sure what the second part of that comment even means, to be honest, it's incoherent.)


If we can't even have an honest discussion about who's committing majority of violent crime, why even bother?
As a black person, I learned a long time ago that it's not my job to educate white people about problems in the black community or systematic racism. There is a lot of research done on systematic racism and resources to learn about it. Why bother having discourse with you when it'll get nowhere? You say things without substance and facts. I'll pray for the hatred to leave your heart. Why don't you focus on what occurs in YOUR community? Because you know nothing about the BLACK COMMUNITY. Black Americans have made more positive contributions to society than you think. History proves this.

I have been in the Twin Cities proper my whole life. Please don't tell me about what I do and don't know about the community here.

I meant that you know nothing about my community in general, not just the one in Minneapolis. (And no, you knowing NOTHING about the black community in Mlps, either.) Stop pretending to know. I'm sure you keep your distance from us anyway. Again, black Americans are not the menaces to society that you're portraying us to be. We've made positive contributions to society too.

I know way more about your community than you ever would want me to know.


And no one ever said all of you are bad or whatever. I never said that. I'm actually a huge Prince fan.

LOL, sure you do. I've been black all my life. Too bad you can't avoid the influx of blacks from Minneapolis moving to the suburbs.

Good for you. At least you have good musical taste.
