We Need a Second Great Migration: Black Folks Need to Head Back Downsouth (NYT)

[Yzak]

I wouldn't say south. We just need to group up in a coastal region and work to make us the majority in every aspect of the region. I'd say Pacific Northwest to account for future climate change maybe

Charles Blow wrote a book making compelling arguments about this. If you’re able to take back some of those southern states and even make inroads in the Great Plains(lots of African migrants there) while maintaining vibrant strongholds in the major cities then you could see a potentially advantageous political landscape for Black folks in America.

Doesn’t mean roadblocks and potholes won’t be put forth to stop progress but it might be better than being gerrymandered to oblivion where you at.

This is why Atlanta turned to shyt.

I’m not even from there but people from up North damn near ruined the culture.

Bringing all your trauma from these racists up North to people who don’t deserve your baggage ….

IF you are ADOS this sounds ridiculous

I sound crazy saying Northern folks have a different culture???

Ok

Believe what you want.

All I know is that Southern Hospitality took a serious hit due to people moving there …

I know from your response that you’re not from the South

The South is a coastal region.

The South is a coastal region.

South ain't looking too good with climate change though, plus it's more populated than Pacific Northwest

[Ol’Otis]

Pacific Northwest

I was just thinking it would be nice to have a strong black base in Seattle

I don't understand how migration down south is supposed to be a solution to getting "gerrymandered to oblivion" when the south is the main place where that is happening.

How can you fix your lips to say this like the south ain’t got trauma too?
