Of course...

There's a ton of Black folks who moved to TX. Dallas itself has had the largest migration of Black folks since 2020. Hell, I moved there but 3 yrs is all I could stomach but I wouldn't be against moving back but...


:ohhh: WOW … that’s pretty shocking news to me


Listen, I don’t wanna come off as a bigot, I just don’t think any of us, brothers and sisters would want to live around a bunch of Mexicans and Central Americans when we all know how they really feel about us.

We don't really want to live around a certain element of our own kind so... :manny: If you're really from NYC, then you've literally have the entire world living within a few steps of you. You work with people who think worse. You quitting your job?

There's not a single place in the country where you're not gonna be around people who have static towards blacks breh :yeshrug: the racism is delivered differently per area but you still gonna catch it

The best we can do is try to be in spots where there's already enough examples of blacks being successful so you don't ALSO have to carry a huge chip on your shoulder constantly as that can be fukking exhausting if you just tryna do your job and go home in peace.

And when you actually think about how big your social circle will realistically be, it's not hard to keep it majority black outside of coworkers :manny:

I get when you say certain element of our own people
what I don’t get is, who are these other groups of people that are worse than Mexicans and Central Americans ?

I lived in Texas for 19 years -- Houston is best, Dallas is second, and I wouldn't suggest anything else unless you prefer a quiet life.
Lived in South Carolina for 30 years -- the shyt can be beautiful but it's a hell hole. Wouldn't recommend.
Lived in North Carolina for 57 years-- this is the best out of the 3. Decent infrastructure and quality higher education. Depending on where you are in the state you can get that 'southern' feel or not.

Umm.... Hold up a second breh. 57+30+19 = 106 :patrice:

Me and my wife have been thinking that’s the move as soon as she finishes her masters. I like it that it’s close enough to Charlotte without actually having to be in Charlotte.

Yep, the reason I like Fort Mill. I could hit Uptown in 20-25 minutes.

I do have an interest in seeing Houston. I have a feeling I'd like it, most positive reviews I've ever heard of Texas cities are about Houston...

New Mexico and El Paso are fukking garbage...

Dallas, is mid. Not the worst place but there's a ton of hype around it that I just don't get, its not all that...

Fort Worth seems pretty cool so far, a bunch of bad women here, easily more than I can recall seeing in Dallas and El Paso on a ratio perspective...

Myrtle Beach is racist as fukk and one of the worst places in Carolina period, it's wild to me how so many people moving there...

Columbia and The Upstate better than Myrtle by leaps and bounds. And look, I'm not a big fan of SC, whole lot of racism and backwoods shyt on display there. It gets hot too and they got those flying locust looking bugs but I've never felt nothing like this Texas heat, I said it when I was in Dallas years ago, I'm saying it now. Texas has the worst weather in the country and at least I don't have that in SC, and I have proximity to NC...
I'll agree on the weather.

Love being a Texan but we got hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, hail, dust storms/haboobs, swamp heat, dry heat, droughts, ice storms and sometimes blizzards in the panhandle. Probably the only place that gets all that shyt. The worst of the Plains, southeast and southwest.

But.....I've learned Black people just instinctively hate Dallas for some reason. It's always vague and it's never something that's truly unique to the city.

Yep and here in Spartanburg and the upstate in general as well. Spartanburg is going to be completely unrecognizable in 5-10 years. Already very different from even 5 years ago.
I was in Greenville last year and was like... Oh WOW. This shyt is definitely on the rise.

I could see a future train from Charlotte to atlanta having to go through Greenville for sure
