What cities have potential to be the next black mecca?

If y'all South nikkas don't jump in this ASAP

All it takes is a group of Black people with a vision.

Nobody's safe.

The only part of the North that you see white folks walking around is by Rhodes College. Other than that, the North is waaaaay to black and ghetto for white folks to feel safe

You sound like a nikka that doesn't travel or read about other places. There's a very large number of Fortune 500 and 1000 companies in Memphis, we're the logistics and distribution hub of America. There's a significant number of black millionaires here. You sound like you're just regurgitated shyt you read on the internet

Pull up the stats about black millionaires

And post a pic of your passport stamps

I think a lot of the majority Black mid-size cities in the South have potential IMO.

The thing is what do they, or we even, need to do to attract more Black folks to these cities?

Because it seems like most of us are participating in the rat race to ATL, Houston, Charlotte, Dallas, etc. The popular spots basically. I could be wrong but I don't often hear Birmingham, Jackson, Memphis, etc in these reverse migration narratives.

Yup

Everything I've read and heard from folks is that the boom cities if the south are thriving but the Deep South states are not. At the end if the day it's economics.

Mobile Alabama simply cannot compete with a Charlotte. It's not just about cheap land.

Cheap land indicates either space is unlimited (see Texas) or demand is low.

That's why I'm making the argument that we need to build in Macon, GA and Savannah, GA.

Right and thats what's bothering me. I wanna see that wealth spread.

Obviously the big dogs are gonna always be more attractive, but I dont think there's a total lack of opportunity in the smaller cities either, it's just not on people's radar like that. I think a lot of it is perception to be honest.

Hell I got my eyes on Dallas in the near near future, but at one time I was thinking about Mississippi cuz I got fam there.

Don't lump in Memphis with 2 cities who's population is a 1/3rd of ours. ATL, Houston and, Dallas are in the top 10 most populous metro areas of the country, of course you here more about them. There's an abundance of black people moving to Memphis and Nashville
