PS you’re welcome Mr. Blanc.
At the risk of sounding all homo like, like Mayor Frey, I’m really sad about this. Despite it’s DFL-ness and all, I love the place, its lakes its landscape, even its goofy accent. I was once willed by the graduating seniors “ an entire class period without mentioning the state of Minnesota”. Haven’t cashed 5hat in yet!
I’ve seen this all coming on my trips back, but it’s kinda like when you know your girlfriend is gonna dump you, but you ignore it, thinking your wrong.
I hope I’m wrong that the TCs are going to become Detroit, but I fear I’m not. I don’t see how it could go otherwise.

PS Ganderson: Thanks for the history and background.

PS: Mr. Ganderson, nope you were not seeing things - that part about Steven King (the writer) is at the bottom of unz commenter "Trinity"'s comment as displayed on this post (the 2nd excerpt). Of course, that means it's on unz too.

I am putting this link here to a .pdf file of all kind of demographic info, but it's for the State of Minnesota, not just Minneapolis, from 2015:

PS. Anyone found any info on the guy who was killed, other than that he was a “gentle giant” who was “turning his life around”? They haven’t hauled out his eighth grade graduation picture yet. I did read he moved to Minnesota to “get a fresh start”, which suggests that, while perhaps not a Dillinger, not a model citizen either. Best guess: low level Eric Garner type.

PS:I have seen a few different Gunshine State t-shirts. It's just supply and demand issues according to the gun stores I checked out today.

PS The ‘67 riots were bad- The Guard was called out and were in place for a week. I have no first hand knowledge- i was a rising 8th grader.

PS oops- I guess the Stephen King comment was over at iSteve

PS: Again, sorry about the trouble on the not-smart-enough phone, Dtbb. Your purchase should be easy enough in the gunshine state (apparently an insult on your state, but I have no problem with that being on the license plate next time around).

I guess the whole country will know how things really are. Will they remember that they used to think Southerners mean and stupid? Nah.

Mr. Blanc, American Indians are kind of different in their societal problems. They don't seem to hate any other ethnic groups, but it's their MAJOR problem with alcohol, and the depression from being treated as wards of the State that just have many of them fighting themselves. (Maybe all the fighting is just in their genes, from Comanche times ...)

PS: Thank you, first to Mr. Ganderson for all that background. On the actual incident itself, I haven't read much on it. The same thing for a white guy would not cause a riot now or anytime, and the same for a black guy couldn't have caused this kind of riot when there were not many blacks. (I did read your background on the North Side, etc. How big were the riots back in the 1960s in Minneapolis?)

I was thinking of the Somalians the most, I do know about the Hmong, a weird crowd if there ever was one, and the American black people out of Chicago, etc, that have come are something I'd learned about from either Steve Sailer or Paul Kersey (I think the former.

PS i should clarify, in the hockey portion of my comment thay when i was a lad all 8 public high schools in St. Paul, even Central, the blackest school, had hockey teams ; same in Minneapolis. Now each city is down to two public school teams,

PS one more thought. I’m inclined in this case to think the cops screwed up big time, although the soy-boy carpetbagging Mayor needs to shut his yap and let the justice system handle it, but my impression of the Minneapolis PD was that they tended toward dickness, even back when I was a nipper. Now I’m generally pro-cop by temperament, but...
My guess is that the guy who died wasn’t exactly St. Francis of Assisi, either. We’ll see. I’m expecting some level of narrative collapse,

PS. I guess I'm obliged to chime in here. Although I have not lived in the Twin Cities since 1984; I grew up in the urban core, in St. Paul, and lived in many different places in Minneapolis during and after college. We still visit often, 2-3 times a year, and spend time “up north” every summer..

A bit of history- in the 65+ years I’ve been on earth there has been a black presence in the Twin Cities, two neighborhoods in Minneapolis- the North Side, where there were “call out the National Guard” type riots in 1967 and the area surrounding 4th and 38th near where the current fracas began. St. Paul’s Selby-Dale neighborhood was predominantly black as well. As one other commenter noted there is a large Indian neighborhood in Minneapolis, although not particularly dangerous- run down, but the crime was mostly low level public order stuff. The black neighborhoods were more dangerous, but not on a South Bronx level- I’d never think of not driving in any part of the central cities. Since I left, two other groups have been added, Hmong tribesmen from SE Asia, the influx of whom was beginning at the end of my time there, and the Somalis. Neither has made the area better, and added to that the pull factor of generous welfare has drawn many black Chicagoans (the weather is not that much worse). Milwaukee, BTW, has the same problem. While there are still some very nice neighborhoods in both MPLS and St. Paul, many whites have left the city- most of my HS classmates have decamped for the suburbs. I’d also mention at Saint Paul has its first black mayor. He is proving to be a ruler in the African big man style.
The result has not been good- inner city schools are mostly awful, although some of the high schools have added IB programs to attract white kids. In the hockey-mad state of Minnesota, a telling fact is that there are only two high school hockey teams in each of St. Paul and Minneapolis. St. Paul Johnson, Herb Brooks’ alma mater, and a team called St. Paul Public in the Saintly City, and the same kind of deal in the Mill City, with Southwest High, and a Minneapolis public school team. All this Is driven by demographics. Theodore Roosevelt HS in Minneapolis was a hockey powerhouse, now they’re a top tier soccer program.
In short it’s not the place I grew up in, mainly Scandinavian-with- a touch- of -Polish Minneapolis, and largely Irish and German St. Paul. It’s becoming Baltimore.
It all makes me very sad, because it was a great place to grow up, and a place I have a great deal of affection for. BUT, the white leadership, both cities and state not only let it happen, but aided and abetted it. The Democratic Farmer Labor Party, which is what the Democrats are called there are stuffed to the gills with SJWs, and who will blame white racism for all of this.

I’d also add to the comment about Stephen King: Ken Burns, who loves to lecture us in his documentaries about how we are such evil racists lives in Walpole, NH, which may be the whitest town in the whitest county in the whitest state in the US.

PS Many years ago my best friend, who has lived in the Minneapolis suburbs (a number of them) for almost fifty years said that the big racial minority problem in Minneapolis was the Amerinds. At that point, I believe that many of the blacks there were transplants from the Chicago ghetto. A problem, but a small enough population that they couldn’t make large trouble. It now seems that the Minnesotans have imported enough Africans that they’ll learn what we have known for a long time.

PS:Also I tried to take your advice involving buying a shotgun today. They are hard to find locally. I got a few more places to check tomorrow. Otherwise I might have to go to the sticks. Not that far hopefully.

PS:I was just going to add that I think it was because he didn't grow up with them or go to school with them. My girlfriend from Mass. is similar. Blacks are just different. No other way to put it.

PS:My landlord,RIP, thought I was a pure racist. He and his wife are the nicest people I have ever met. They are both from Madison WI. By the way I have never met anyone from WI that I didn't like and there have been plenty here in FL. Anyway we had many talks about blacks. He and his wife just seem to have a blind spot when it comes to race. Submit tab is gonna disappear. Familiarity breeds contempt.
