Places like Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, why don’t you hear about hate crimes based on race there? In fact, you rarely hear about crime there. Is it because it’s so cold most of the time that people can’t be concerned with being a criminal or is it because they don’t have a reason to be racist? I am black, and I can understand that the things black people do cause white people to be racist, so I am wondering whether living in the Midwest where there are few black people would be better for me. I try to get along with everyone and am not a troublemaker. I believe that other people cause people to snap and do bad things, and so I believe we are all born innocent. Am I wrong here, guys? Not that I plan on moving there, but say I met a girl from Idaho. Would I be okay moving to Idaho? 🙂
