I think I see why Black people stop coming up north in early 70s. Buy that time they got the message.

I had some cousins who moved from move from south cakalacka to Philadelphia in the early 90s. By the early 00s they back down south. Most of my living relatives live somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line these days. And many of ones who still live in the city are dealing with poverty, drug addiction, violence and death.

The northern migration thing was a bumpy road for us.

This has nothing to do with the North.

Your fam went from a safe small town to one of the biggest urban areas in the country.

Urban areas have more crime than small towns.

They could've went to Memphis or New Orleans and they would've felt the same way

I would like to see a comparison of poverty, education, graduation, unemployment of black people living in the south vs the northeast :unimpressed:


It's doesn't matter. Many black people just like down the south better. Some of my cousins and aunts would constantly complain about living up north. How close people live together to the graffiti and blight. Everything.

Not all black families origins originate from the south...don't know where you guys get this conclusion that all black ppl come from the south...

In terms of poverty, education, employment, health, etc black ppl in the North are doing better (respectfully) than those in the south and that's just facts.

No offense but the problem with some of y'all southern folks like OP is that some of you have a slave mind holding dear-life onto the south like Queen from Alex Haley's miniseries...talking that this is my home shyt like Queen.

Y'all don't own the south so stop acting like shyt is all black utopian where everything is all sweet and jolly cause it's not.
