The Southern justice system in places like Louisiana, Alabama etc is no place you want to be accused of anything and tried.

I see North Carolina, Texas, and Georgia being the main culture centers for black america in the next 20 years. DMV might be on the list as more of an upper middle/high class hub

Texas will be over 50% Mexican in 20 years.

So an "unapologetically Black man," who just happens to be a writer for the whitest media institution on the planet, The New York Times, is just noticing the reverse migration of our folks back to the south that has been happening for almost 30 years?

What year did Puffy open Justin's in Atlanta?

We can only gain some influence in Houston and Dallas. Austin and San Antonio don't have a large enough black population to get anything popping.

You from Bham? I couldn't speak on that. I do know that there's alot of tech jobs trying to recruit folks there. But I'd never live in Bama.


Atlanta on the other hand is stuffed to the brink and the more people keep trying to flood in here, the worst it gets for everyone. I'm moving to San Diego in a couple weeks anyway so....
