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

[TNOT]

You go to find cities where you can thrive, your kids can thrive, and you can build wealth.

We choose to live in New Orleans because we want to. We’ve set ourselves up to succeed, that goes for our kids as well. I’m not naive about the challenges in our city, but I’m also not dumb enough to believe that those challenges don’t exist in every major city North or South.

We know that our survival in this city depends on being educated and building wealth. I’m sure that’s the same for every major city too, FWIW I don’t consider New Orleans a major city.

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

Birmingham Alabama has a lot of potential as well

 

[REdefinition]

Hasn't this been happening for the last 20+ years?

 

[DEANBIGBROTHERALLMIGHTY18]

Blacks have to fight for these cities instead of just running away. We are leaving cities that have the wealth i.E: NY, PHI, DC, and going back to an agrarian society which is going to make us economically obsolete as a people.

like people in the South never talk down on other Southerners

Please.

I never said they didn’t. They’re also clowns just like the ones I described in my original post.

 

[I Really Mean It]

I have zero interest in moving down south.

We don't want yall back.. Yall ancestors ran away when shyt got crucial

The same ppl who left the South then, are the same ppl who either challenged WS in the 20's and onward, that or their children/grandchildren did.

The Black Panther Party were made up of ppl from Chicago; Oakland, NY, etc. Their parents likely moved to those places from the Carolinas; Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.

The LA uprising of 1992, was likely made up of the children/grandchildren of Louisiana and Mississippi migrants.

Birmingham Alabama has a lot of potential as well

Alabama taking off. Opportunities in Mobile, Bham, and Huntsville. I grew up in Biloxi, Miss and was a skip away from Mobile. Folks used to work in Mobile, and was getting paid. Also been in Montgomery numerous times. I got love for Bama.
