It has been a while since I was in Grand Forks (Far Eastern North Dakota), but when I was, most of the people I knew were of Norwegian ancestry and far from prejudiced against black people from anywhere, simply because there were not very many around.
I don't care who you are, go climbing balconies and threatening people with large knives, they just might take offense.
Try that in my end of the state (West Side), you might get your a$$ shot.
