I went to the University of Memphis.

Loved how Memphis was a 65% predominantly black city and decide to stay after graduation.

Majority Black Politics

Police Department is majority Black

A lot of Black businesses

A lot of Blacks in upper management positions.

1/4 of Black people have a college degree as compared to 1/6 of Black people in Dallas.

The city is geared specifically towards Black people and Black culture.

Memphis is not overpopulated or congested like DFW.

Yes Memphis have a crime problem(Like most black cities) but I never had any problem while living here.

And most importantly I don't have to deal with prejudice coming from both CAC, Mexicans, or any other group of people that looks down on Black Americans.

Diverse areas has never benefited Black Americans throughout the history of this country.

Memphis reminds me of how DFW was in the 90's.


Id luv to visit Memphis. A friend of mine always talks about the food and nite life.

This isn't just a conservative thing. Black people have been leaving Cali in droves since the late 90s. This was back when the government wasn't as liberal. The problem with California is it is too damn expensive, not as many jobs to pay for it (Silicon Valley is a very small part of the labor force), huge wealth inequality, and a demographic trend that isn't empowering Whites or Blacks (immigration of Hispanics and Asians). I give the old school Black areas like Oakland, Richmond, Compton, and Inglewood 10-20 years max before they are done and Blacks will just be sprinkled around. Given Cali has the highest national swirl marriage rate for Blacks as well (between 20-30% for both sexes), I don't really see a cohesive Black community in most parts of California going into the 21st century. They aren't going to disappear, just be about their own business and scrambling to get by.

Pat Buchanan of all people in a column years ago had to admit that the Blacks were most similar to Whites in how they are moving out of California.

:francis: im guessing their "social safety net" isnt as good as the northeast due to it being a red leaning state.

But i dont know much about tennessee so i could be wrong.
