Shot: But census data shows that since the mid-1980s, more than half of all blacks who moved to Minnesota have had incomes below the federal poverty line. By contrast, barely 10% of blacks moving to Atlanta during that period were poor.

Chaser: Across a whole host of measures — unemployment rates, wages, incarceration rates, test scores, homeownership rates — the gaps between white Minnesotans and Black Minnesotans are among the widest in the country.

Ironically due to their progressivism Minnesota imported an intractable racial inequality issue that is now coming to a head.

In 1970s Time magazine ran an infamous cover story on Minnesota
“The Good Life in Minnesota”

This is how the subject of racial issues was covered:

Minnesota's people are overwhelmingly white (98 percent), most of them solidly rooted in the middle class. Blacks rioted in Minneapolis in 1966 and 1967, but with only 1 percent of the state's population, they have not yet

forced Minnesotans into any serious racial confrontation. Or at least, not apocalyptic confronation.
Minnesotans are proud of that. After the 1967 riots, in the intelligently direct style of most Minnesota politics, businessmen, civil rights leaders and educators met to organize

the first Urban Coalition chapter in the country. Today blacks are often among the state's more enthusiastic boosters.
Says Gleason Glover, executive director of the Minneapolis Urban League: "For a black, Minneapolis is one of the truly outstanding cities in the U.S. to live in.

The problems here -- housing, education, discrimination, unemployment -- are manageable ... There just isn't the real, deep-seated hatred here that blacks often encounter in other cities." Two black state legislators were elected last fall from predominantly white middle-class..”

So basically before Minnesota became a welfare magnet blacks that lived there loved it and didn’t feel prejudiced or put upon unjustly.

Fifty years later after importing an underclass, MN is now a racist hellhole.
