Meanwhile, the refugee industry is making sure Idaho turns blue.
I have a hard time believing blacks in Idaho earn more than Asians living there. Whites I can understand.
Fascinating. Mostly Republican state.
My daughter lived in Priest River for decades. I visited a lot, don’t think I ever saw a Black person. I’m in Spokane and my favorite neighbor is a Black army vet. He’s everyones favorite person, very kind, intelligent, involved with civic groups. I’ve appointed him Mayor of our apartment complex, and everyone agrees that he is.
Idaho-1.5% black population, Illinois-14.13%.
Percent theory? What is tipping point?
Idaho-60.1% gun owners, Illinois 27.8% per Pew Research (best estimate) April 2023. Any correlation?
Wow, that is an outstanding article with so many highly relevant and startling points. The article is very uplifting because it shows the power of meritocracy, hard work, family, faith, and capitalism for all citizens, all of the things that the federal government has set out to destroy.
We live in Idaho and my family roots here go back to 1920, so this is an especially relevant article for me.
Here in North Idaho, you don’t see many black people, but those I’ve met or observed are happy, well-adjusted, polite, and don’t have chips on their shoulders. Success through hard work tempers angry thoughts and tamps down the sense of entitlement rampant throughout most of the USA.
Wonder if that will affect their reparations for slavery claim?
“Unlike many other states, Idaho’s societal climate of self-reliance and its embrace of economic and personal freedom, plus respect for those who work hard to achieve the American dream, made it a place where a tight-knit but integrated black community could flourish.”
What a novel idea!
Rural areas are not the cross-burning, lynching communities as portrayed in the media. Also you will find more racism in northern urban cities than you will find in rural Georgia.
“Black Idahoans’ focus on capitalism and individual initiative,” So the view would not consider them black.

Well what do you know... those Judeo/Christian values again. I guess this report, or that part of it, will get buried quickly.
It sounds like in Idaho that blacks are just Americans.
The baggage isn’t there, and this they are successful . As God made us all to be .
The main islands of the Hawaiian Islands are all south of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the southernmost parts of Texas and Florida.
America has been known as the land of opportunities. No matter the ethnicity if hard work, diligence, ambition combined with good character and positive attitude one can live a successful life. Unfortunately America is overstocked with entitled losers, moaners, victimhood mental midgets and immoral corruption that results in self driven bad outcomes. Plus these arrogant, imbeciles blame everyone else but themselves for their plight in life.
All fathers matter
Gee the Mormons are doing so well. Now tell us about Utah
