My uncle is a pharmacist out there, I know at least 3 homies with their own businesses, etc.

Those random places in Florida he named aint no different than any other country ass, rural place in america.

OP said central Fl was rough, but I figured that'd be the best place to be for most people. Is it better in North FL, Central FL or South FL?

The Truth

I dont know... Theyre mostly the same.

Anything north of tampa to me is trash and for rednecks. Jacksonville might be excluded. Thats all i know

All that shyt like "this state is worse for black people" doesnt make sense to me because damn near every state that has minor cities outiside of major ones are trash and poor af.

There are some states that are complete trash and its not just arkansas and mississippi.

Things I notice as I travel through some of the smaller towns in Florida especially in Central Florida (Ocala, Gainsville, Leesburg) ...


- Black people extremely broke beating down looking and uncouth. Even in small towns it's astounding to see how many homeless black men and women there are.


- Most blacks working fast food and after that that's about it. No blacks in management any where and almost no blacks working in the trades.

-These original black neighborhoods are the old colored side of town and they still look like how they would have looked in the 1940s. You still got houses on cinder block stilts for crying out loud. It's pitiful.:mjcry:

I heard Alabama's pretty bad and I really don't mess with Mississippi and Louisiana like that but this is just my observation...

I live here in central Florida and work in finance. I know black people in damn near every profession. Hell my ex was a computer programmer. Maybe the problem is the people you surround yourself with :yeshrug:

Yep. Lots of well-to-do black folk where I be. We do, however, also occupy a lot of "lowly" spaces.

With the exception of Atlanta, what you described is occuring in every city in America, differing only by inconsequential degrees. And they're trying their hardest to reverse the moderate black prosperity being enjoyed in Atlanta.

Would u say LA is good? Or the Bay?

Where I was at in LA I didnt see as much black people as I was expecting...the Bay.....forget it

L.A. is sort of bad but not bad as the south.

People on this board always think L.A. should or is like the 90s and that shyt is far from the truth..

Black people move to places like Lancaster, Palmdale, Riverside, vegas ,etc to escape the hoods and cheaper way of life.but the poor whites and Mexicans moved to those same areas and those places are worst than L.A. hoods.

U really not going to see a lot of blacks in the the middle of the city anymore

Everyday, my commute is met with sad sights that underscore how defeated our people are in this country. I'm almost always the only black male I witness during my ride, though I usually observe a few black women. Beyond that, every race but black is well represented as they rise the buses and trains to and from work. Mind you, this is in a city that has a sizable black population, only showing how segregated things have become. More than depressing, it's unsettling and frightening how calmly the erasure of black people from the working class has become. By "working class," I mean actual jobs that provide a livable wage, unlike the plentiful service jobs blacks in my city fill. And no one seems to be making any issue of it.
