I'm sorry, but when I first saw the title of this thread, I just laughed. All I could think about was Dave Chappelle and his rendering of a "Blind Black Klansman". As much as I disagree with the person who did this, there is such a thing as freedom of expression.

Couldnt agree with you more on this one.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but had to show this. Hate Map | Southern Poverty Law Center Before Idaho gets too bad a rap, many states have many more hate groups than Idaho. Besides that, how many of these groups have something like seven active members?

There are few black people in Idaho, not because of racism, but because of geography. It also has to do with the fact that Idaho was almost 100% farming and mining until the eighties. So no one ever moved here. Idaho got missed in the Great Migration. Racism was not founded here. Most of the racist come here from out of state.

Besides what's the point of Diversity if it looks like LA where everyone is so segragated? You could go days in certain areas of LA without seeing a white person, or a black person. So outsiders need to get off the high horse. At least in Idaho the few blacks that do live here, live amongst us. We don't have that defacto segregation.
