Why do black people move to Atlanta over Dallas

[little4209]

I hope y'all not serious including philly as s good city for blacks. Large black population but I wouldn't say it's great
im a jersey breh too..lot of black folks our age are going down to DC/MD

I will prolly move down there too if I don't move to NYC

Yes serious...he said with large black populations...which is only about 5 cities in this country, can't say Philly would be the absolute best option, but if you're looking for a live, easily accessible city with a large black population then yes this could be one of the options

There are more than just 5 cities with large black populations but Philly is one of them no matter what though.

yeah but south dallas is being left behind. it seems the blacks in dallas that do well are transplants

That is mostly true. The Black people in DFW who are really excelling are usually transplants who moved there chasing professional growth.

But then they get scared by the racial politics.

Niccas and their conversations. I love exchanging ideas, I can't even break bread with these niccas. You love and want the best for your people but damn. Fruitless conversation. I was trying to build with some niccas on investing and these niccas shifted the conversation to the latest episode of POWER

I can't say this exclusive to the south but I'm imagining that seamless conversation shift

That's the catch! They usually end up moving to other cities where the racial climate is more favorable for Black people.

Your growth outside of work will be limited in Dallas as a Black person. Whereas in a place such as Atlanta, you can experience just as much personal growth outside work as you can inside work by virtue of the Black networks.

Once again sista.....you got the best damn name on the internet....

lol thank you thank you.

Elaborate more please

For one, jobs is scarce. yeah they have unlimited job supply for minimum/slightly above minimum wage jobs and, thankfully, you can afford your own place on that with cost of living being so low. Hell, with a full-time $10-$11/hr job, you could survive comfortably. But I came up here because I want to be a homeowner & my saving goals towards that stretches better than when I was in Miami. Also, I am close to being done with school, I'm looking for a career and that there- is scarce. For my field of major, I was told people are moving out to Texas for it. Doing some digging of my own, I found it to be true.
That there made me kind of resentful of coming to Atlanta instead of Texas because Texas do offer the same benefit as ATL. Low cost of living, low cost to buy homes, spacious land and, unlike ATL, no state tax.

Large Black Population doesnt mean all the black people are doing well. Philly and B More got a ton of blacks and are straight bush status.

Lol. Houston nikkas got punked by New Orleans nikkas. Shut up clown

we had our share of wars with them 06-07 new orleans nikkas too

ATL is a black city and has been for awhile. It's futile comparing it to Dallas, Houston, Charlotte right now. Those cities have large black populations but the black political/economic structures are decades behind cities like ATL/DC/Philly.

That being said the DFW economy is not going away so as more black folks move here and more cacs flee to the suburbs, there is some serious potential to carve our own niche in this city.

we gotta get DISD back black tho...went to skyline/dville game other weekedn thought it was bryan adams vs molina 02

But that's the cycle. Because of the cheap housing and job market you can't just leave for NY or whatnot.

Yes, I know that miss lol but again, he said a nice city with a black population, which I think Philly has..because I've lived here for my entire life..all of philly isn't bush status and what city doesn't have people that are ready to be thrown in the bushes? Lol
