What’s worse than living in a town you absolutely hate? Finding out that there was a study done and a whole panel of folks agree with you.
So Madames, before you pack your precious belongings and family into a U-Haul and head North, South, East or West, check out this list of the best cities to raise a family
It looks like crap to me. Black kids are best raised in places where there are not a lot of other black kids. All ten of those cities are thus disqualified.
Better list:
1. Boise, ID
2. Fargo, ND
3. Butte, MT
4. Huntington, WV
5. Walla Walla, WA
6. Missoula, MT
7. Dubuque, Iowa
8. Tigard, OR
9. Anchorage, AK
10. Vermillion, SD
I agree with the top half of the list more so than the bottom half.
It's hard to argue with DC being at the top even though it's incredibly expensive here. You would need a joint income of $200K to live decently in the burbs and around $450K to live comfortably in the city.
The omission of New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago from the list is obviously ridiculous.

Its not a matter of race, but a matter of socio-economics. If you have a neighborhood of wealthy Blacks, their kids stand an equal chance of becoming successful adults as Blacks raised around rich White people.
Conversely, a Black youth raised in poverty, no matter who the prevailing race is, is going to have more obstacles in their way.
At the end of the day, the only color that determines everything is neither Black nor White but GREEN.
We also took into consideration the percentage of black population living in the area, the number of black-owned businesses, the percentage of black college graduates and medical care.
Oakland does very well in all of those categories.
I'd say Toronto. In Toronto no one even notices that you are black. You'r just a person, an individual. I have two grandsons there that are black and I really don't think they even have an awareness of that. What they know is it seems to them that people come in a lot of different shades of colour,sizes,shapes. People have straight hair,curly hair, blond hair,black hair kinky hair,NO Hair LOL that's me. They are very fortunate to live in a completely diverse neighbourhood and all of the different people don't have labels attached to them.
I'm being a little sarcastic here obviously. Americans can't just up and leave the USA but I really think my point is valid. We are Canadians first and foremost. New Canadians pretty much have left their old culture behind after just one generation here in Canada. People still celebrate their origins but it's in a totally positive manner. When the Carabana celebration comes to Toronto every summer it's every one's celebration not just the west Indian population. Multi culturalism is really the answer to problems of race. When in your entire life you have been surrounded by literally scores of cultures race becomes really a non issue.
