Somebody told me to stay away from STL because of all the racial unrest because of Ferguson lately. I don't know how serious to take that comment though.

Cops just pulled a drive-by shooting of a black kid in Cleveland, so I'm not sure how much difference there is in racial harmony between the two.

Personally, I'm not aware of any severe fallout outside of the single riot event last summer. None of my friends in Ferguson seem concerned either. Not that you'd be living anywhere near Ferguson, in all likelihood.

Racism is everywhere. Depending on who you are and where you live it probably wont cross your mind.

I work with young people everyday from all over. Many have questions about Ferguson and the impact on the quality of life. That's the fault of news media for not giving balanced information. It became less about Darren Wilson and what actually happened and more about rioting.

I am in Ferguson every week and many residents seem concerned about their city but not hating because of their neighbor's skin color.

Come for a visit and see for yourself. I know many leave the area with a favourable impression of the city.
