Why is crime so bad in Minneapolis? (Viking: loans, house)

Unfortunately, for many reasons, when Trump became president it did not improve and NOW with the libs in total control ALL we get is the race card. All the crimes that blacks commit aren't their fault. They're just expressing their "feelings" about being being supposedly oppressed.

As mentioned, the majority of violent acts in the TC's is from one race. When are the good black people of which I'm still convinced are the MAJORITY, going to finally stand up, go to the voting booth, and vote in city leaders who believe in law and order? Because of the actions of the violent, but overpowering few (thanks to the fact that they know they'll get away with it thanks to the city leadership) this city is becoming a place no decent families want to visit nor even move to.

Some people like Cruz will make a statement as if they speak for the business leaders of the Twin Cities stating
"Well, if you feel that way, don't come". "No one will care". Fine and dandy. Take my feelings and multiply it in the thousands. Who in their right minds really wants to visit the cities now. The Twin Cities are losing MILLIONS in revenue because of how it's run. Throw in how the whole state and the Twin Cities have been mismanaged due to the pandemic as well and the dollars lost are astronomical.

I miss the old Twin Cities which I used to LOVE to visit. I wonder if they'll ever return.

The only time I stated something remotely similar to what you describe was directed towards Kavalier. Have you read his posts? If he’s being even 5% honest then he’d clearly be happier living in a small town in greater Minnesota.

How can we not? EVERYTHING today (and going forward, I suspect) is about race.


Have you watched the news lately, or commercials, or television or movies? Colleges, bureaucracy, Fortune500 companies...and on it goes. None of us are free from having our faces rubbed in it.

I think they were fine st that time. Maybe even better going back farther than that. Prince LOVED MN. I highly doubt he would have loved MN and the TC if it was some Nazi haven. He loved it because it was a pretty decent place for a black guy to grow up in back then.

Look at what they voted into congress. Can a state be anymore screwed up than that

There is a reason you don’t feed the bears. They get used to being fed. Then they don’t know how or want to work for their own food. They no longer see it as “help”. Rather they expect to be fed. Privilege really. They let their friends and loved ones know, “free food and shelter here”! Eventually that group of bears clashes with the civilized world when things don’t turn out the way they want. The bears get angry.
Oooops wait a minute, there I go again talking about nature.

Importing a bunch of Somali refugees during the 90s didn’t help......just saying

Not at all given the fact vast majority of them were uneducated, unskilled and had zero desire to integrate. That's the funny thing about immigration - lefties screech racism whenever anyone speaks out against it, yet 99.9% of those speaking against it would in fact love to have a Nigerian doctor or Ghanaian engineer for a neighbor and are simply speaking against importing unskilled, uneducated hordes who will drive the crime rate into stratosphere while bleeding the taxpayers dry.

There is something beneath the surface that just feels gross about living here in the Cities proper now.

The obvious conclusion I've come to is that when people make decisions that destroy the infrastructure of their home and get paid enormous amounts of money to do so those decisions must be coming from someone who doesn't live here.
