I would say South West Michigan you would be welcome. On the down side we get 80" of snow a year so you would have to learn to drive all over.Lots of friendly small towns.

Where I'm at in the Mat-Su in Alaska, nobody is greeted with open arms unless they're handing out c-notes. But on the other hand there's a tacit understanding that we leave each other alone. It's understood that those who stick their noses into each others business--for whatever reason--get shot. If you did face a racist It's no where near as warm as places in the rural South can be, but then again you can buy sixty acres and never have to see another human for months at a time.

It is sad that so many people still judge a person by the color of their skin, religion, wealth, etc. If only we really could be judged only by the content of our character.

Nicodemus, KS is a town that was founded by Exodusters after the Emancipation Proclamation. It's still there, although I don't know how big it is. If you Google "Exoduster," you can find the names of other towns that were started by Freedmen. That could give you a starting point and then you could check the current demographics from there. I imagine that many of the towns that were started by Blacks at that time will still have a sizable population.
