RACISM: Alas, not new to North Idaho

| March 29, 2024 1:00 AM

How disappointing to hear of the racist behavior in Coeur d’Alene. Such a black mark on the city and the state of Idaho. The part that is not surprising is the history of this type of behavior in North Idaho that has gone on for many years. Having grown up there it has been a part of life since the 1970s.

I wonder how this region has become the magnet for so many hateful groups with radical beliefs. Are they being welcomed there? I would hope not…yet they consistently thrive. I suspect Coeur d’Alene will not be a destination for such events in the future.
