I wouldn't move here if you're a minority

I've been living here since 2014 since moving from California and I've noticed that while there are some cool people here, most are rude and out of that group some are racist. I get a lot of people that lock their doors when I walk to a restaurant (in broad daylight mind you), people watching me when I go into stores (even though I'd been living here 4 years, work in the area and have never attempted to steal before nor plan to), and folks giving me dirty looks. When you have to work around them its worse. I usually stay to myself and I get folks that will aggressively mess with me at jobs and act flat out rude. I've even had multiple full on workplaces mob against me in the workplaces and I've had to quit before anything escalated. I've even nearly went to jail at one of my jobs because some racist lady made up a lie stating that I've assaulted her when we got in a tug of war with a cash register because she wouldn't let me count my money like my former manager asked! Not to mention, even the police are shady and corrupt. I got off work from my job at 4am and because my coworkers were long gone. I had to walk home. I had my speakers I carry to work for listening. I was stalked and then stopped. Asked if I stolen the speakers, never mind that its a gun friendly state. And then interrogated because he didn't believe I lived in the area when I've lived here for then 3 years. Not to mention, me being watched by certain police and I'm rarely outside except when I need to do laundry. As a pro, I like the winters here oddly because no one likes the winter and I like the neighborhood. Its so quiet and have never lived in a neighborhood so quiet. But the people and the people in charge ruin it for me with their aggressive, prejudice rude and racist behavior and I am looking to move when I save some money. If you're white things may be a little easier for you. But if you're a minority (especially black) and don't have anyone to back you up, the ignorant people will try to make it hell for you to live here.
