Where da brothas at?

Why is this?  I think it is kind of strange.  Anybody got any guesses at this?

Attempt at a serious answer:

The real question is why would there be any non-WASP types in Vermont? Mass migrations of ethnic groups generally happen for economic, social, or political reasons, and I don't see why any of those would drive African-Americans to Vermont.

Most African-Americans have roots in the South because that's where slavery was practiced. Other races that have immigrated to the US go where the jobs for them are (usually cheap labor, but not always -- witness the Asian influx into Silicon Valley).

The only reason there's a sizable black population in northern cities is because after a bunch of anti-immigrant legislation was passed early last century, the industrial factories of the north had a large demand for unskilled labor, and sharecropper blacks were more than happy to leave the super-racist South to find higher paying work.

What would be the draw for African-Americans up there? What jobs are available in Vermont? Tour guides, insurance claims adjustors, dairy farmers? Not exactly the kinds of jobs that would preferentially attract minorities. And it's cold and out in the middle of nowhere? And they'd be surrounded by white people, most of whom own guns? Doesn't sound like black utopia, left-wing representation in Congress or not. And even that's new; before the place became hippie-ized, it was solidly Republican for something like 150 years.

  We moved to Northern Vermont for several reasons.  The main one was to get my wife away from Mussa.  One of the other minor reasons was we heard Vermont was very ethnically tolerant.  I now know why they have that reputation.  Its easy to be tolerant when there is only one race.  White.  Everything is white up here.  I have not seen a black, hispanic, middle eastern, even italian people are rare.  Why is this?  I think it is kind of strange.  Anybody got any guesses at this?

Snow?  Lots of it.  Clubs?  None.

There ya go.
