Wait, so the shift in the map is in the time span of a one year, and the top map is the more concentrated area, and the second map is where we "came from in effect?...that looks like a big shift in a relatively hort amount of time
Man, this thread is extremely timely. There was just a show tonight on NPR about the reverse migration from northern cities and the concept of the "New South".
Blacks may be going South but,not practiced their voting mustle beyound the National elections. I hope they would put to a stop this voting ID nonsense.
I see positives in southern migration, the land value is great...I have family in Alabama and they have a nice spread that cost a whole lot less compared to my digs, but I need that metro area though.
very good post. this is one of few times i have seen where they talk about IR when it comes to black and whites versus other races. meaning IR is usually associated with Black and white and not with black and other than white and vice versa
This is an excellent video. Thanks satyr. But I am really surprised that Mississippi is the state that's leading in the interracial relationships/marriages area. What's ironic is that Mississippi still is more known for being a backwards state. And Soulthinker, voting muscle here and there won't make too much of a change since people can still vote for either parties.
the misconception of the south is big. alabama for example (huntsville) is the best kept secret for blacks in the south. If you have a degree (mainly in science) you can do very well. cost of living is low.
Wait, people moving to Florida, the armpit of the world, is the big shift? Yeah, Florida has a booming economy and job opportunities right now alright...
I live in Louisiana (born and raised), so I understand some of the misconceptions of the south. I never knew Huntsville Alabama had some promising mecca.
yeah, we have about 3 4 year colleges in a 40 mile radius. 2 graduate programs. we have a military base and military contractors that support a missile defense system. that is why you have to have a science degree here. accounting and logistics and the like will do well also. contract management ect.. you can do well here especially blacks . how do you like where you live
Louisiana's still up in a rut, but New Orleans happen to have some 3-4 year colleges still here and some community colleges here and there. But what I'm most concerned is how are job opportunities holding up.
It was more of a calamity. I lived through that, so I know first hand how a natural disaster like that could cause problems.
have the business started returning to bring the economy back and how do you think Japan parallel to you guys
The economic situation in New Orleans have been back, although still slow. The local government still have to handle the budget shortfalls here and there, like some Disney-esque street cleaning in the French Quarter and other areas of interest. What's not fixed are of the 9th Ward and East New Orleans. Though Brad Pitt's been really deep into the green house projects in the lower ninth ward, New Orleans East is still a bit of a ghost area. What use to be bustling businesses are mainly taken over my Latino and Vietnamese communities. So we're seeing their stores, business practices, etc.... I was born in East New Orleans and there were a lot of economic boom. But now, hardly anything. But we're seeing process. How does the tsunami draw parallels with hurricane Katrina? Just the disaster aspects to be frank. But everything else, from people getting shot by militias and checkpoints, don't seem to be present in the incident with Japan.
this should be a good time for blacks to try their best to start a business of some sort. dont you think ? Like a day care or something ?
My mother's side of the family is from Shreveport, Louisiana. Shortly after WWII, my aunt gathered everyone up and said "We're moving to California."; they never looked back. I've made it a point to get back down there for a visit, but was told by another aunt that I wouldn't like it. Maybe not, but I'd still like to see for myself.
