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!
I lived in Flint Michigan while with the Army Michigan National Guard at Camp Grayling I was called n**** word while walking back from the PX and I'm from California and Washington State floored me.
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..
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.

@@Fister-kw5un I mean...that's just the US bruh. Outside any city damn near every state gets sketchy for us. Oddly enough I think the most chill rural places for black people are the mountain states. Those people tend to just be nuts and not racist :)
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 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.
@@myssscarlet539 Obviously I’m not one of those barely making it ppl worried about the cost of living. You dnt move to places where you know it’s going to cost if your not financially stable
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.
Yeah and now CA is an absolute shit hole!! How can ANY young black person afford to freaking live here?! Our grandparents great migration here set us for generations… it is no longer holding up. Black meccas of CA are becoming a thing of the past due to gentrification & being pushed out of historical black communities…. So where do we even go now? It’s sick..
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.
The black professionals that Minnesota companies import from Chicago? Or do you mean the low-income from Chicago? The former out perform white Minnesota and it bothers them...they feel threatened by it. The latter make white Minnesotans feel threatened in another way.
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 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.
@@xanderdumas1682 I think racism is across this country indeed. However, would I say they are overtly racist. No. It is more of an undercover, discreet behavior. Which makes it much harder to prove when need be.
That’s just not the reality of it sure you can live anywhere you want but for blacks moving somewhere like let’s say Wyoming a black family may lose their lives in states like that.
@@Madeintheshade65 the state of lest say Wyoming those people won't lose their lives there because they moved there, it's the hateful people that lives there assuming that part of God's earth is their's, When it's not. So it's a reason why the people labeled black is hated 💯 because they are God's original people and the right ones hasn't been lead there to live are be killed because they don't fear death, the same God that wipe out Egypt, Atlantis, etc. Can wipe out Wyoming too; so don't 🤔 think all people labeled black don't know who they are or fear Wyoming.

@@NIGERIA-RONTennessee 😂😂😂😂 I’m a white guy living here and let me just say… I’ve met MANY white racist ppl here. I’ve even been invited to a good old boys club so…
@atrumphasmatis6719 lol they probably read the stats and go to TN then find it sucks for them because the long time blacks they can't make friends with in TN or whites so going to Minnesota won't look so bad lol. That's how they think. It sucks no matter where they go for them.
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
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.
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.
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.
The Southern states are full of racism. I'm originally from up North and never had a problem until I started living in the South. Leaving back to North/New England states asap!
@@wanda32 yes southern states are racist. But I have a different interpretation of the south. My point of view is that if you live south of the Canadian border, you are in the south.
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!
We were attempting to keep it to 5 states in accordance with the theme of the show, "The 5". We will expand on it in the future. Thanks for the support!
@@Miss_Cali There's more to labeling a place good or bad than a income gap or home ownership, quality of life, schools, state taxes, criime etc...just to name a few! The channel is called Black "Excellence" and you can't be excellent if you're not covering all the bases!
@@beenadickarnold5666 racial inequality and home ownership are 2 of the biggest factors that impact quality of life for Black people in this country. So I don’t know what more you want from the video. Maybe make your own detailed list. Pretty simple.
@@bishoptatum8737 You can't be serious..racial inequality and home ownership are 2 of the biggest factors that impact quality of life? I myself have never let neither one of those affect my quality of life but okay! How you define quality of life must be totally different than how I define it.
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.
Because we are doing good in the eastern part of the state where most of the people live….there’s middle class black Neighborhoods in Philadelphia metro hbg metro etc…also lots of black own business even in hbg where I’m from
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
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. I would think Utah, Louisiana (Klan country), Minnesota, Massachusetts (there is such a thing as White Boston), the Dakotas, Idaho and Montana have to be bad for African-Americans.
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.
1. Minnesota - very racist state 2. Connecticut - Im surprised this is a racist state since it connects with NY 3. South Dakota - very racist state 4. Iowa- very racist state 5. Wisconsin - I dont know much about this history of this state towards blacks.
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?
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.
I agree they do make all Southern racists. But they didn't stop tge majority of Black people in the South who own property and houses. These states named have always been segregated, but are not talked about. Its always the South. In the south a Black family can buy a house anywhere they choose if they can afford it. Not so in the North.
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.
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.
That all has to do with inequality among white and black residents there. Some of the states we don't often associate with racism have some of the biggest equality gaps.
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!!!
You mean Biden? "You ain't black if you don't vote for me." "I don't want my kids going to school in a racial jungle." "He (Obama) is the first clean, articulate black guy." Etc, Etc FJB
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.
My husband had training in Fayetteville. I went down to visit him and experienced my 1st segregated business. Black hair done in the back, white hair in the front. No windows and drop ceilings in the back. When I asked the owner (an Asian woman) why she separated everyone on the basis of race, she said it was " because her white customers didn’t like the smell of black haircare products". Not only are you not getting my money, I'm never coming back to this state. Ehy the whole state, you ask? Because the black people took that crap like that's how it's supposed to be. If this racism is so ingrained and entrenched into fabric of your community that you dont even fight back or quit and open your own salon, that's not the place for me or my family. Also, was legit scared for my husband that entire week. What a way to live! @Black Excellence
@@BlackExcellenceMedia I’m from NC and many areas are very unfair to blacks. Many laws are made to keep us behind. The blacks who thrive here are mostly from out of state and can afford the skyrocketing rent and housing costs. Winston-Salem alone should be listed as one of the worst cities in NC and for blacks period
@@brahmabkitty03 I’m in Charlotte now, where do you think the best places for us to go? I don’t know if it’s a southern thing but a lot of the natives seem immune to racism.
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)
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!
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 ✌🏽👊🏽☝🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
It's not a racist country and it is not getting worse. You are being told that, but facts and figures say otherwise. Don't forget that there are many successful blacks in all levels of business and politics. Of course there are a percentage of people who are racist, but doubt it is any different than the percentage of blacks that are racist. This video does not do a deep dive into facts. They used states that are big agricultural producers. If you are not part of a legacy farm conglomerate, your options are small for a great paying job unless you have a marketable degree. That is for anyone. Plus, SD and Iowa have small demographic of blacks, and doubt if many farm. This video does not tell the entire story.
@@brettalan9279 America is a racist country, down right bigoted and prejudice. This is what gets me about white people, no matter what a black person feel or say, you guys have the perfect answer. You are not in my shoes, you can not tell me anything.
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.
I worked for National Guard in Concord it was the most miserable experience I’ve ever had.Its a beautiful state for nature.But I definitely wouldn’t recommend.Folks don’t want to rent to me.A lot of the folks there viewed blacks as being refugees.The only blacks I would see were from South Sudan you could count on one hand how many blacks you’d see in weeks.
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.
This is bs! Not one Southern state?!!! The problem with the criteria is no critique of antiBlack laws that cover all aspects of living, not to mention legal residential etc. segregation
My uncle moved to Milwaukee bc he was offered a good job after graduating from Morgan St. Too bad that move caused my Grandfather’s business to suffer.
In the South you know what time it is, and they don't try to hide who they are or what they think. In the Midwest they come at you with smiles and baking cookies, pretending to be nice.
Critical Race issue.why do you continue to call our Brown fleshed people Black,have you looked up the definition of Black. Black before any word makes it negative,whats the opposite of excellence Jarrett? Your skin is Brown not Black Beloved. All of this wicked place is bad for us btw
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😊
We lived in Bellevue 74-76 and Omaha 84-90 and thought it was in the top two best places we lived. I assume NE should have made the list because the same reasons the briefer stated. We have been spoiled by working for USAF and DoD for a combined 55 years. We always had a support base were we moved to and still have some support. I am from rural VA, 70 miles southwest of Richmond. My wife is from LA Grange, GA, 65 miles south of Atlanta. Besides living in NE, we lived in OH, DE, and GA (23 years). I spent 4.6 years in NC. Overseas, we lived in Greece, Belgium, and Germany (2). I lived in Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, and Ukraine. I think being a part of the military, working for DoD, and the Veterans Administration (VA) must be a secret for most blacks. Guess where the top two places where our tax dollars are allocated, DoD and the VA.
I grew up in south Omaha in the 70s-80s and moved to Minnesota in the 90s , and out of the two I have/had more opportunities in Minnesota then Nebraska,
Black women in Wisconsin do very well ...I don't agree with CT being on the list because how can CT be bad for blacks but prosperous for Hispanics mainly Mexican and south Americans ..I've watched whole town in CT get brought up and taken over by Hispanics ..in CT if u want to work there's work...

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 left Indiana

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.
Me too
Now I truly understand why so many wealthy people live there. Now I get it.
Are they racist there?
@@xanderdumas1682 I think racism is across this country indeed. However, would I say they are overtly racist. No. It is more of an undercover, discreet behavior. Which makes it much harder to prove when need be.
@@xanderdumas1682 yes very much so
Missouri should have made this list.
Thanks for sharing!👍🏾
All people born in America 🇺🇸 have the right to live where they want. No matter of skin tone
That’s just not the reality of it sure you can live anywhere you want but for blacks moving somewhere like let’s say Wyoming a black family may lose their lives in states like that.
@@Madeintheshade65 the state of lest say Wyoming those people won't lose their lives there because they moved there, it's the hateful people that lives there assuming that part of God's earth is their's, When it's not. So it's a reason why the people labeled black is hated 💯 because they are God's original people and the right ones hasn't been lead there to live are be killed because they don't fear death, the same God that wipe out Egypt, Atlantis, etc. Can wipe out Wyoming too; so don't 🤔 think all people labeled black don't know who they are or fear Wyoming. You might want to thank your winters
@@Madeintheshade65 Yet black people are committing the most crime and taking eachother's lives. Get a clue.
Best and worst depends on who you talk to. It all depends on your experiences living in a place.
Today Black Africa is more beautiful n safer than AMERICA that's in a cataclysmic decline because of your liberal Progressive Leftists who have destroyed your nation from within BLACK'S ARE NOT TO BLAME 💋💋
How about Best states for black
Don’t exist
I found the actual map this guy was stating his facts off of, and the list of the best states for African Americans are:
1. Wyoming
2. Tennessee
3. Georgia
4. California
5. Hawaii
@@NIGERIA-RONTennessee 😂😂😂😂 I’m a white guy living here and let me just say… I’ve met MANY white racist ppl here. I’ve even been invited to a good old boys club so…
@atrumphasmatis6719 lol they probably read the stats and go to TN then find it sucks for them because the long time blacks they can't make friends with in TN or whites so going to Minnesota won't look so bad lol. That's how they think. It sucks no matter where they go for them.
@@atrumphasmatis6719it’s racism in every state is isn’t just Tennessee
I have live and been to all of them and I can tell you are a 100% on my friend.....
As an Illinoisian, I’m not surprised that Iowa and Wisconsin are top of this list 😂
Worst states for them is all of them
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
Cool, I’m looking into all these states
The reason for the high incarceration rate in WI is because of the high crime rates in Milwaukee.
Good detective work Sherlock
🎉🤷🏽♀️Welp…don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!!! How hard is that?!
@@sandycheeks1580White people do Majority of All crime, you’re just not locked up for it. It’s called America
I’m honestly surprised New Hampshire wasn’t on the list.I had a horrible time when I lived and worked in Concord,NH.
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.
Thank u I have family in CT and they're all doing well .nice homes good jobs
@@vibezlogistics7453 Beautiful!
True especially Stamford ct.
I'm in Omaha Nebraska about 10 minutes from council bluffs Iowa. You will get profiled
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.
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.
This video is not about racism. Racism takes on way more issues than what this video is about.
The Southern states are full of racism. I'm originally from up North and never had a problem until I started living in the South. Leaving back to North/New England states asap!
@@wanda32 yes southern states are racist. But I have a different interpretation of the south. My point of view is that if you live south of the Canadian border, you are in the south.
Have you been to the south? They are openly racist there
@@mickylord21 only once. I was in Charleston in South Carolina. I didn’t experience anything that was openly racist though.
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!
We were attempting to keep it to 5 states in accordance with the theme of the show, "The 5". We will expand on it in the future. Thanks for the support!
He can't provide what you seek and most people's attention won't last if it's not about some bs.
@@Miss_Cali There's more to labeling a place good or bad than a income gap or home ownership, quality of life, schools, state taxes, criime etc...just to name a few! The channel is called Black "Excellence" and you can't be excellent if you're not covering all the bases!
@@beenadickarnold5666 racial inequality and home ownership are 2 of the biggest factors that impact quality of life for Black people in this country. So I don’t know what more you want from the video. Maybe make your own detailed list. Pretty simple.
@@bishoptatum8737 You can't be serious..racial inequality and home ownership are 2 of the biggest factors that impact quality of life? I myself have never let neither one of those affect my quality of life but okay! How you define quality of life must be totally different than how I define it.
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.
Because we are doing good in the eastern part of the state where most of the people live….there’s middle class black Neighborhoods in Philadelphia metro hbg metro etc…also lots of black own business even in hbg where I’m from
And here l was, worried about moving to another state in the southern US when the mid-west & northeast seem to be worse! 😏
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
Thanks
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. I would think Utah, Louisiana (Klan country), Minnesota, Massachusetts (there is such a thing as White Boston), the Dakotas, Idaho and Montana have to be bad for African-Americans.
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 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.
1. Minnesota - very racist state
2. Connecticut - Im surprised this is a racist state since it connects with NY
3. South Dakota - very racist state
4. Iowa- very racist state
5. Wisconsin - I dont know much about this history of this state towards blacks.
In my opinion everywhere you go has some bad influence; but we need to have muster up the courage separate ourselves from bad association.

In Massachusetts the networth is 250 thousand for whites and 8 dollars for blacks. Its top 3. We get screwed majorly
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?
None of these cities surprised me.
They are states... not cities!
My favorite topic is the states and the cities. But you should did do the top 10 States
We will def do that in the future. We were just trying to stick with the theme of the show. Thanks for watching!!!
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.
I agree they do make all Southern racists. But they didn't stop tge majority of Black people in the South who own property and houses. These states named have always been segregated, but are not talked about. Its always the South. In the south a Black family can buy a house anywhere they choose if they can afford it. Not so in the North.
@@BronzeSista -- I agree with your message 1000% you're spot on...
White people down south are pretty laid back bruh, friendly some would say. This isn't the 1800's anymore.😒
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.
I'm from Dayton Ohio I moved 7 years ago to l.a. because of the lack of opportunities in Ohio.
What as Bout MS, AL, LA, WV, IL?
IL has Chicago. Chicago helps IL avoid this list.
@@v.a.993 IL is #1 for black male unemployment.
Chicagoland is full of crime, poverty and death.
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.
That all has to do with inequality among white and black residents there. Some of the states we don't often associate with racism have some of the biggest equality gaps.
tell me more about Oklahoma, I was thinking about going there
Huh, I thought OK was a considered a southern state?!
@Question everything ask them about tornadoes
My cousin just brought a house in Oklahoma ...she loves it but anything is better than the hoods of Brooklyn...
Some black people need to except the truth, instead of crying every-time confronted with racial prejudice.....
I'm from davenport iowa smh off the Mississippi River
The worst state by far is the victim state of mind.
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!!!
You mean Biden? "You ain't black if you don't vote for me." "I don't want my kids going to school in a racial jungle." "He (Obama) is the first clean, articulate black guy." Etc, Etc FJB
ok time for me to move to wisconsin, thank you for the pro tip
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.
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.
I hope NC is on this list I will be leaving once my lease is up.
Oh no, why NC? It's actually supposed to be one of the best.
@@BlackExcellenceMedia My friend live in North Carolina him and his wife they loved it
My husband had training in Fayetteville. I went down to visit him and experienced my 1st segregated business. Black hair done in the back, white hair in the front. No windows and drop ceilings in the back. When I asked the owner (an Asian woman) why she separated everyone on the basis of race, she said it was " because her white customers didn’t like the smell of black haircare products". Not only are you not getting my money, I'm never coming back to this state. Ehy the whole state, you ask? Because the black people took that crap like that's how it's supposed to be. If this racism is so ingrained and entrenched into fabric of your community that you dont even fight back or quit and open your own salon, that's not the place for me or my family. Also, was legit scared for my husband that entire week. What a way to live! @Black Excellence
@@BlackExcellenceMedia I’m from NC and many areas are very unfair to blacks. Many laws are made to keep us behind. The blacks who thrive here are mostly from out of state and can afford the skyrocketing rent and housing costs. Winston-Salem alone should be listed as one of the worst cities in NC and for blacks period
@@brahmabkitty03 I’m in Charlotte now, where do you think the best places for us to go? I don’t know if it’s a southern thing but a lot of the natives seem immune to racism.
i woudl have guessed wisconsin.
Basically all of the southern States. Black America just need to take over Chicago, Detroit, and if they want their own state start with Delaware.
Thankful none of those states I wish to visit.
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)
This dude is always off with his information. Trust, places like Florida and South Carolina are way more racist than fucking Wisconsin
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 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!
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 ✌🏽👊🏽☝🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
It's not a racist country and it is not getting worse. You are being told that, but facts and figures say otherwise. Don't forget that there are many successful blacks in all levels of business and politics. Of course there are a percentage of people who are racist, but doubt it is any different than the percentage of blacks that are racist. This video does not do a deep dive into facts. They used states that are big agricultural producers. If you are not part of a legacy farm conglomerate, your options are small for a great paying job unless you have a marketable degree. That is for anyone. Plus, SD and Iowa have small demographic of blacks, and doubt if many farm. This video does not tell the entire story.
@@brettalan9279 America is a racist country, down right bigoted and prejudice. This is what gets me about white people, no matter what a black person feel or say, you guys have the perfect answer. You are not in my shoes, you can not tell me anything.
No. Texas and Florida need to be on here for sure.
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 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.
I live in CT , I make great money but I am one of few. Looking to relocate in a few more years.
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.
Blacks moving too Minnesota State mainly too Minneapolis, From St Louis or Chicago
How is New Hampshire?
I worked for National Guard in Concord it was the most miserable experience I’ve ever had.Its a beautiful state for nature.But I definitely wouldn’t recommend.Folks don’t want to rent to me.A lot of the folks there viewed blacks as being refugees.The only blacks I would see were from South Sudan you could count on one hand how many blacks you’d see in weeks.
Love the hair
Who the fuck is the daddy @0:53
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.
None of these states are surprising …
This is bs! Not one Southern state?!!! The problem with the criteria is no critique of antiBlack laws that cover all aspects of living, not to mention legal residential etc. segregation
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.
My uncle moved to Milwaukee bc he was offered a good job after graduating from Morgan St. Too bad that move caused my Grandfather’s business to suffer.
It's interesting that no southern states are on here, but the midwest. I'm curious...
I've traveled both regions and the Midwest is more racist & segregated then the south is. Plus the road conditions in the Midwest are horrible.
In the South you know what time it is, and they don't try to hide who they are or what they think. In the Midwest they come at you with smiles and baking cookies, pretending to be nice.
Critical Race issue.why do you continue to call our Brown fleshed people Black,have you looked up the definition of Black. Black before any word makes it negative,whats the opposite of excellence Jarrett? Your skin is Brown not Black Beloved.
All of this wicked place is bad for us btw
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😊
Nebraska should have made the list, definitely in the top 10.
We lived in Bellevue 74-76 and Omaha 84-90 and thought it was in the top two best places we lived. I assume NE should have made the list because the same reasons the briefer stated. We have been spoiled by working for USAF and DoD for a combined 55 years. We always had a support base were we moved to and still have some support.
I am from rural VA, 70 miles southwest of Richmond. My wife is from LA Grange, GA, 65 miles south of Atlanta. Besides living in NE, we lived in OH, DE, and GA (23 years). I spent 4.6 years in NC. Overseas, we lived in Greece, Belgium, and Germany (2). I lived in Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, and Ukraine. I think being a part of the military, working for DoD, and the Veterans Administration (VA) must be a secret for most blacks. Guess where the top two places where our tax dollars are allocated, DoD and the VA.
I grew up in south Omaha in the 70s-80s and moved to Minnesota in the 90s , and out of the two I have/had more opportunities in Minnesota then Nebraska,
Racism is everywhere California has 74 racists groups I was surprised.It has all nationalities
No state on this list surprised me at all.
I can’t believe West Virginia didn’t make it
Black women in Wisconsin do very well ...I don't agree with CT being on the list because how can CT be bad for blacks but prosperous for Hispanics mainly Mexican and south Americans ..I've watched whole town in CT get brought up and taken over by Hispanics ..in CT if u want to work there's work...
Hispanics and Blacks are two different communities that's how
Hispanics and Mexicans control the drug trade that's how🥱
I never understood comparing the 13% to the roughly 70%. It just doesn’t make sense.
The 70% like to monitor black life to make sure it remains oppressed and painful and poor.
If you are black, where accepting you as an equal is concerned, all of them are flawed. Some more than others but all of the same status.
