I wasn't born yesterday. And guess what? My sis is county probation officer (400 "clirnts") and her hubby is a parole officer.
I know more than you'd like me to know abo about the situation. Vast majority of inner city criminals here from Chicago ....dead cold fact, my friend.
I never said there wasn't an underclass element from Chicago in the Twin Cities. I know more about that element than you think. I have relatives in the Twin Cities who could tell me some things. My father is from Milwaukee and knows plenty.
And you still didn't answer my qiuestions. Answer them or don't respond to any more of my posts.
What questions? The one about weather? No one wants to be in the cold here - white, black, red, yelloe, brown. Can't tell you how many anglos I've met that HATE the cold (starting with my momma). So it's natural they would choose Atlanta over Mini.
Granted it's natural northern Europeans are more acclimated to cold weather. I'm kind indifferent to it. I grew up playing hockey and Fall in MN is amazing. I don't mind Winter either really, or maybe it's just in my DNA to deal with it or make lemonade out lemons

What questions? The ones that have nothing to do with the weather. Like I said before. Either answer the questions I asked you in this post, or go somewhere else.

I'm Black and I'd rather be in cold Minnesota winters than the steamy Georgia/Alabama summers. At least I can put clothes on. I can go cross country skiing, get into snowball fights, or go skating. Ironically, I've done more ice skating during the summer than winter (Atlanta area, indoor skating rinks, a good respite from Hotlanta heat). I actually like snow. Northern European ancestry has nothing to do with it. I know plenty of White southerners, who are of Northern European roots, who can't handle cold weather. I remember when my high school had a fire drill one morning. We all had to go out into the 25-30 degree weather (I have experienced colder than that though). My classmates (vast majority of them White) were either shivering or complaining about the cold. I just stood outside like it was nothing. And I wasn't wearing especially warm clothes. Just the fleece lining of my jacket (my Columbia jacket had a fleece lining you could detatch). I don't think DNA had anything to do with it.

And if money was no objec most people choose San Diego weather.

It's a question that too hypothetical to answer. The other one I answered.

I wouldn't mind San Diego either. I've been swimming in Pacific Ocean waters, Venice Beach notably. I'm not most people. Cold weather doesn't bother me. I don't have to have warm weather all year around. One reason I've thought about relocating to places like Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, parts of Canada, Switzerland,etc.

How is it hypothetical that Black middle class people are more likely to choose Atlanta over Minnneapolis while the underclass is choosing Minneapolis? That's actually happening. The question is WHY?

"Up north"? Where the population in most cities is 1% black but the crime rate per capita is almost comparable? How did that happen do you suppose...... Check out City Data stats for the Iron Range. Shoots outs, drug deals, guys laying dead in the streets, in attics....white.
Who cares if your 'sis' is in corrections? That's only impressive to her baby brother who wishes he had a job. How old are you, anyway?
