Doesn't mean shit. I live in MN... According the latest census data, only 1.7% of my entire county's population is black. Doesn't mean we discrimminate, it just means black people don't like Minnesota, I guess. This is as liberal, politically correct, and "open minded" a place (politically) as I have ever been. There just aren't many black folks here. Very few asians and hispanics either. Just leftover Scandanavians who don't mind the cold.

Now, that being said... I've been to Georgia a few times and I agree that race certainly (and most probably) did have something to do with that kid's plight. Maybe I jumped to reply to your post too quickly, but you made it sound like all the black people in GA got "run out of town" or something. I'd like to think the majority of this country are "bigger" people than that.
