Yes as a native of Wisconsin, I can assure you it is THE WORST STATE for black people. You are 100% correct!

So basically stay away from or get out of the Midwest.

I'm surprised that Florida and Mississippi weren't on the list. 🤔

As a Black family in Milwaukee, WI, I wholly agree. The disparities and gaps are real. It's felt in the public school systems, the city lives pretty segregated in many parts. We're planning relocation

All people born in America 🇺🇸 have the right to live where they want. No matter of skin tone

Oregon should be on the list since it started as a sundown state.

He ain't lying. I'm trying to get out of Minnesota right now.

Very informative, thank you for this video! 🙂

I'm surprised Indiana didn't make the list. The only time me and my wife were made to feel uncomfortable in 26 years were at a rural truck stop in Indiana. And we had traveled through several states. She told me she hadn't even realized we were an interracial couple for 5 years until this time. My daughters experience problems in Indiana. The black and African players from Bloomington North receive harassment at Martinsville in high school sports.

There are way more states than those five that are bad for Blacks. The Midwest is really notorious for racism more so than the southern states which was believed for years! I’ve been in many of the Southern States and the white people there were very polite and nice. I cannot say the same for the Midwestern states. I’m in Michigan now and I have never experienced racism head on like be called out of my name or challenged or any of that. But I have heard stories from friends of mine who has. Certain parts of Michigan is like that, especially going close to the northern part. They may not be as brazen as some of the post I see on Social Media, but; you can feel the tension in certain areas here in Michigan and the rudeness is real!

Thanks for sharing!👍🏾

Thanks for this great information 😥

Being from Minnesota I can definitely agree. It sucks to hear cause I’m very proud to be a Minnesotan but everything that was said is facts.

5) Minnesota 4) Connecticut 3) South Dakota 2) Iowa (Waterloo / Cedar Falls area worst in the country) 1) Wisconsin

Thanks This Video is Very Informative

Illinois is by far the worst. It’s has the second most sundown towns in the USA. Only Texas has more.

I am a white girl from Oregon and have kind of noticed a 'reverse Great Migration' trend from the Northeast and Midwest back to the Southeast, between big cities not holding the appeal they once had, and the taxes and weather. I have family in both Illinois and Ohio and the Ohio ones at least have acknowledged there is some racism still going on in the smaller white towns. Here in western Oregon, it is not so much racism as it is just being one of the most non-black regions in the country (we do have a huge Hispanic segment though, and there are as many Asians as blacks). Part of that lies in history, of Oregon banning black citizenship until the 1920s. That said, before the pandemic I had eaten at a couple black-owned soul food places in Portland a few times in 2019/20 and thoroughly enjoyed myself and their company. One of those places' owner passed away this week, he was the uncle of the one and only... Snoop Doggy Dogg. To my black fellow humans making a relocation for the reasons stated in this video, I wish you the best; may we be good and beautiful and full of love and thoughts and songs of love. Aww. ❤️ I am looking at moving to New Mexico(southern Colorado in a pinch) myself.

Teach yourself financial literacy and teach your kids.... that is the biggest problem in the black community. Its time for a new day and age in America wake up and invest in yourself...be smart with your finances its about prioritizing you can create wealth with investing a little bit of money over time if your patient...do not live above your means... plan out your future live in the present and let go of the past..

None of these cities surprised me.

How about Best states for black

I haven't been to any of these states nor plan on going there. Great information.

How about all 50 states and territories?!

II was raised in Milwaukee- moved to California 40 years ago..No regrets.-Milwaukee was one of the most racist cities I experienced. Extremely segregated and very conservative. It may be much better now but I don’t miss it at all.

Very informative. AND NOT SURPRISED AT ALL!!😤

As an Illinoisian, I’m not surprised that Iowa and Wisconsin are top of this list 😂

Hello Jarrett I was born and raised in New York snd I lived in Davenport Iowa and now reside in Columbus Ohio. I was surprised to find that Iowa made the list.Wishing you a very Happy. NEW YEAR.

I currently live in CT and I would say it is accurate. Even with many credentials it is very hard to thrive as it is very expensive and opportunities are not always fairly distributed. I am looking to relocate in the near future but one thing that living in CT has taught me is, if you can survive in a state that is less favorable for blacks then you can thrive anywhere.

As a black family living in this state has been nothing but hardship and struggle. My family and I are relocating to place where we will feel more acceptance. If the Jacksons can leave Indiana my family can leave here 1:18

I grew up upper middle class in Minnesota, and I was one of the only black people, but I think the reason why the gaps are so wide is because most of the blacks are from Chicago and the white people here are highly educated and financially well off.

Thanks

Best and worst depends on who you talk to. It all depends on your experiences living in a place.

Cool, I’m looking into all these states

I could give you a whole history of Blacks in HAWAII . I’d say for every 1000 whites moving here get 1 black that’s how bad . And looking at your lists it’s amazing how many whites move from the states you mentioned Minnesota and Wisconsin and a lot have horrible attitude but with the natives we don’t play dat , often they stay far away from us natives . My question why you move here in the first place, same plane you came on and take you back ! Looking at the percentages it tells me the fact of the racial inequality because we got a lot of poor whites too . I wish more blacks would move Hawaii . We have a small community , but the history of blacks in politics is amazing. We had a senator back in the day early 1900s his last name was Smith and of course President Obama is born and raise Hawaii he was a wave rider of my 1st grandsons favorite surf spot

As an educated black man that moved TO Milwaukee a year ago, I can agree. The incarceration rate is alarming as from what I can see, most of us live in or around one of the two larger cities: Madison and Milwaukee. The rest of the state is basically small towns, bigger farms and wilderness. The home ownership gap is particularly noticeable. I'm sure we're out there, I just haven't seen one yet.

In Connecticut, if you have a good education and a six-figure income, you may do well in the "big cities" and suburbs. It's a competitive state where higher education and financial savvy, regardless of color, matter a lot. People of all ethnicities who aren't up to date struggle to stay afloat in such an environment. CT is probably similar to any other state in terms of attitudes. Get a good education, be clean-cut, be a go-getter, and then give the state a try.

And here l was, worried about moving to another state in the southern US when the mid-west & northeast seem to be worse! 😏

The reason for the high incarceration rate in WI is because of the high crime rates in Milwaukee.

The worst state by far is the victim state of mind.

Just say ALL OF AMERIKKKA!

I’m honestly surprised New Hampshire wasn’t on the list.I had a horrible time when I lived and worked in Concord,NH.

I’m from Connecticut, born and raised and not the whole state is like this. A big part of it. But not the whole state

i woudl have guessed wisconsin.

Come on Jarrett this video could have been 20 minutes long easily, we need this information now more than ever and this channel is one of few I know that's geared towards African Americans. Doesn't seem like you put much effort into some of your videos and I'm not trying to be negative I just want our people to have the knowledge we need to navigate through these times we are living in, at the same time your channel has all the potential in the world and I would like to see it grow!

I have live and been to all of them and I can tell you are a 100% on my friend.....

ok time for me to move to wisconsin, thank you for the pro tip

I was going to definitely include Milwaukee Wisconsin if you hadn't. I don't know a lot about the city, but I knew there were some pretty hateful people there.

I'm from davenport iowa smh off the Mississippi River

Love the hair

Thankful none of those states I wish to visit.

I’m soo surprised that Pennsylvania didn’t make this list. Particularly the city of Pittsburgh since it was voted one of the most worst areas for AA. I know since I grew up in the area.

In my opinion everywhere you go has some bad influence; but we need to have muster up the courage separate ourselves from bad association.

And another thing we depend on them to employ us this comes from not supporting black businesses and supporting financial institutions what do we expect

A technical recruiter tried to get me to interview for an assignment in Iowa. I flatly turned it down. Keep the Midwest.

Being from California, I’ve been looking at moving out of the state. When I brought up states in the south, my parents were saying “there’s a lot of racism there.” And I kept on saying that it’s not as racist like they think. I’m glad this video was created to confirm my point.

Many people from the North were probably surprised that Mississippi and Alabama were not on this list. I was not surprised. I still might have thought that had I not moved to Huntsville, Alabama. I am a white person who grew uo in eastern Kansas. I might have still had this misconceived stereotype about Northern whites being benevolent and Southern whites being bigoted had I not moved to Huntsville.

My favorite topic is the states and the cities. But you should did do the top 10 States

I'm in Omaha Nebraska about 10 minutes from council bluffs Iowa. You will get profiled

I live in CT , I make great money but I am one of few. Looking to relocate in a few more years.

Can you please do a top 25 list for Black professionals? Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana would likely make that list. Illinois would not, but only because of Chicago. Despite its crime problem, Black professionals can do well in Chicago.

Thankyou for this video~ keep them coming....although it saddens my heart to know that we truly live in a rascist Country & it's not gotten better..If anthing WORSE! & to that a person have to make these types videos..(all because of the COLOR of skin) excellent videos ✌🏽👊🏽☝🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

Blacks moving too Minnesota State mainly too Minneapolis, From St Louis or Chicago

Nebraska should have made the list, definitely in the top 10.

I would've swapped Connecticut out for Oklahoma. How is Connecticut worse for black people than Oklahoma and their racist Black Wall Street history? Connecticut isn't even Midwestern but Oklahoma is.

dang CT. its true tho.

What as Bout MS, AL, LA, WV, IL?

I'm from Dayton Ohio I moved 7 years ago to l.a. because of the lack of opportunities in Ohio.

This list is good to know for people of any race. Racists do not tend to be the nicest neighbors and will be sensitive to minor differences even within their race.

I hope NC is on this list I will be leaving once my lease is up.

Those states mentioned most people won't even visit as tourists and I'm sure that the natives don't care . My question is WHAT'S THERE. 🙄🤔 ?

I'm very surprised that either Mississippi, Alabama, or Louisiana weren't on your list. Maybe they would be on a list of 10 states.

Iowa is lily white so I'm not surprised by that one, but Wisconsin and Minnesota? I figured Idaho and Montana would be on this list.

In Massachusetts the networth is 250 thousand for whites and 8 dollars for blacks. Its top 3. We get screwed majorly

very funny

I just knew it was going to be either Mississippi or Arkansas.

🌎👍✌

Omg! I was born and raised in Waterloo, Iowa. Never realized how racist my home state is. I left years ago but still have family there. I’m not surprised it made the list but people feel emboldened to say what they want now!! Especially after the racist that was in the White House!!!

Some black people need to except the truth, instead of crying every-time confronted with racial prejudice.....

😢 all of them!

I can’t believe West Virginia didn’t make it

I went to school I’m CT, I remember a white girl telling me her dad made remarks to her about dating blacks. This was my Junior Year.

I was expecting to see Mississippi up there

The Midwest is what you desire to make it, the Winter Weather is the thing you have to survive, black folks freeze like popsicles, I just thawed out last week from 2022😊

Thanks for sharing. Does the HBCU regions change the narrative? I believe there needs to be an greater assessment of the entire African American community in All 50 states in the areas of education, jobs, and housing, because each one of these effects the other. There are generational differences as well some states where blacks have done well before 1930, by 1950 their children or the next generations lived in generational poverty. Progress is never guaranteed based on where you live, but must be intentional efforts by each generation. Finally there are differences between descendants of American slaves and other blacks or people of color. Lumping everyone together causes disenfranchisement and does not give a True assessment. Also, some black skin ppl are indigenous ppl of America who have ancestors who have NEVER been on slave ships. In addition, Africa is a continent of different nations and tribes like Europe. During slavery ppl joined as Alliance for survival. Unless slavery still exist there is no need to join, we are FREE to find our own tribes. Descendants of American slaves and Native Americans must advocate for an assessment in education, jobs, and housing to determine if the progress of our forbears has been lost through the generations. This should be in all 50 states.

Don't forget Missouri

Best for everybody else

None of these states are surprising …

My friend from Kenya loves it here. Loves it. So what is the problem?

No state on this list surprised me at all.

The only thing good about Wisconsin is it's cheese. Wisconsin has a weird vibe to it. It's like a don't leave kind of vibe as if someone is going to kidnap you. Won't let you leave their home once you enter. Idk hard to explain.

Missouri should have made this list.

i would've thought Utah

When I hear these stories about blacks getting treated bad and you all are still living in those states. Its your darn problems. Just leave. Get to hell out. Move forward. Oh! its american pride to keep fighting for equals rights in a racist America for what?

How is New Hampshire?

I currently am experiencing KKK /white supremacist hate tactics on a regular basis, and I live in Winfield, Ks on the border of Oklahoma and Kansas. They have destroyed my home . I purchased. My home here in this city 7 years ago because it seemed quiet and peaceful. Not many black people live here. Boy did I make a mistake buying here!

I thought Kansas would make the list too.

I was shocked by the information. I expected the Southern part of the country. I used to live in Minnesota and frequently visited Wisconsin and Iowa. I always noticed the absence of Black people but to hear what you had to say was eye-opening and frightening since I enjoyed my living experience in Minnesota (I was in the Twin Cities area)

Missouri is too

Black unemployment rate. I rented in downtown Minneapolis, walked to work, and was debt - free in 4 years. MN has a 1.8% unemployment rate.

I can believe all of this, but surprisingly there’s no mentioning of Montana. I think they are very much so racist. I know this list was compiled by researchers.
