I've been in Alabama, and to California. Both have their share of jerks and nice people. I've met plenty of nice, polite people in Alabama, and I've met plenty of jerks in Alabama.

Blacks never played an integral role in formulating Minnesota's economy. To say otherwise is an outright falsehood.

They've still played a decent role (relative to their size in the population) for Minnesota's history. What is your point? You want a state of "no Blacks allowed"? If you want that, at least quit beating around the bush and say so.

No. What I am doing is countering the lunatic Leftist narrative that "slaves built America".


That is a damned lie. And my state and many other states are proof that that lie is grotesque.

Slaves were the ones picking the cotton and sugar cane. Slaves were doing the labor and not getting paid for it. The raw product went to to the processing centers, as far away as Massachusetts for industrial purposes. Alot of wealth was built from that.

Your state may have not had much in the way of slavery, but a large amount of wealth generated in the USA came from slavery, including the slaves themselves, who were bought and sold like cattle.

What was your point again? We can play this game all day. I'd MUCH rather live in some white trash trailer park than South Chicago (as would you, though you won't admit it )
Most of them are likely just thugs or of gangs and not even registered to vote or too young to register.

How would I know which? I've never lived in a white trash trailer park or been to South Chicago. Or been poor, either.

I've never been poor either.


But the fact is that roughly 75% of all violent crime in America is perpetrated by a black American.

It is not actually a political issue and truth is not up for debate, it is a common threat to everyone, as serious a common threat as a foreign invasion, or an epidemic.

Global climate deniers have made it political in their own minds though, so that can make it appear like any person who understands the science and is well informed is a 'liberal'. Actually they are as likely to be well informed conservatives.

Don't expect educators to stop teaching facts just because it makes people politically uneasy.
The scientists say climate change is because of CO2 emissions, and claim that as the overarching evil that is causing atmospheric and climate change. All spoken words are carried by CO2...

In that sense, the climate and atmosphere over society have a very great impact on the nature around us...

Just as it says; From the cool of the day, to the sweat of the brow.

How can they purify their own words and claim. Net Zero is a cancelling figure, nothingness. Breathe in oxygen and breathe out an evil that is harmful to the atmosphere, all curse words... It is all word pollution, that you see going on, right now.

They seek Net Zero, or 1-1. Oxygen good, CO2 evil. It can only be reconciled in nothingness, Net Zero, because the one does not compliment the other, so it never adds up.

NV has a large population of Black people. Most of these are concentrated in the two main metros. Vegas and Reno/Sparks. Education wise I dont really know the percentage of higher educated.

But one of the most successful businessmen in the Reno area is a man named Luther Mack. He is a restauranteur who started with McDonald's and wound up owning all but one franchise in town.

He has since branched into his own name eateries (which are quite good) and is way up among the areas most wealthy men. He is however an exception to the rule.

Most of the big money around here is tied up among certain very White families. The casino owners being the biggest. They are certainly...family...operations.

I will say that Mr. Mack's level of shrewd and well thought out businesses are rather above the level of the people who own the clubs on an intelligence and educational level.

Unlike many of the members of these families he earned every inch. It wasn't given him because of his name. In terms of jobs that demand higher education hereabouts most of these are in the industrial sector.

Many skilled trades IT, design and fabrication and medical areas.
