I live in pittsburgh and i was just curious what the racism is like in missouri the state itself because i have never been their before. I understand st. Louis is pretty bad in terms of crime but I don't know how bad racism is in the state if you happen to be african american or latino. Is Kansas City worst in terms of racism and crime than st. Louis? Ferguson I know that's where the michael brown shooting occured but closer to st louis. I read springfield is kinda racist. I come from pittsburgh so I really don't know how bad the racism is in K.C, St. Louis, or Springfield conpared to Pittsburgh yes I've experienced some racism here but how bad is it if you wanted to visit either one of those 3 MO Cities? St. Louis I am sure is the worst in terms of crime. Chicago us the crime capital in the Midwest and America period we all now that but just trying to get a better understanding of the racial problems in the state hopefully they have gotten better or will get better going forward. I understand just putside of kansas city their was a drunk white man in his 50's that shot an indian man and a high school incident close to K.C wear they wore swastikas at the school and threatened a couple of african american students the town was called fort something if yoy can refresh my memory of the name of that particular town. But saying all of that is Pittsburgh less racist than Missouri period? Not a good place for blacks in general? I thought K.C was a nice city from what I hear.

There is probably little or no difference between the two. How would you measure it anyway?
