What makes Nebraska/West Virginia a better place for it?

Then shouldn't there be many more recent killings by white racists for the NYT to report on than Emmitt Till's?

In reality of course, when there is an interracial beating or murder, it is black on white in the vast majority of cases.

Hmm, perhaps Amazon should join these Fortune 500 companies in headquartering in Omaha, NE.

They seem to be able to attract educated, skilled employees. And folks living and working there can also enjoy walking off their great steaks on the Lewis and Clark National Heritage Trail.

From the article I linked on Omaha’s F500 companies:

“ The companies, their executives and employees also tend to be more active in their community, contributing money and time to local charity and institutions and taking an active hand in civic affairs. That helps build the kind of quality of life that helps make it attractive to employers of all kinds and sizes.”

I would also have added to that last sentence : “... employers and employees...”

Before reading that article, I would have suggested Des Moines as well. And now I see it was also mentioned. Lol

For me urban areas actually drain my energy. I can recharge in a quiet pretty place. I live lived in both extremes and it is incredible the difference in how I feel. I love to visit the city and if I had the means would have a city pad but only use it to visit. I can get a lot more work done and feel more creative energy in a quiet peaceful environment. Hence why many writers go to a cottage or cabin to write a great novel and artists colonies are in lovely natural environments.

It's nice if there is something for everyone but some people seem to want everyone to live one way. We could stand to revive some areas with good jobs but the Amazon monster is not necessarily the solution.

Oooh the butthurt is strong in this one, who ironically calls others snowflakes and pansies.

He seems much smarter then the average racist as he continuously says the "N" word and uses racial slurs on TV then throws up the "I'm just a comedian" card and liberals eat it up. He's definitely a role model on how to get away with racism
