What cities have potential to be the next black mecca?

[Spade]

A BLACK MECCA IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION YALL nikkaS CRAZY SMH LOL. BETTER START A BLACK STAR LINE SO WE CAN GO BACK HOME FOR ALL THAT shyt.

We need to come to grips that the vast majority of black people in the West will NEVER go to Africa.

Cali. We don't accept disrespect from cacs like south

My guy, for 1, you seem barely literate by how you post on here. 2, ain't NOBODY getting disrespected by crackers in Memphis. White folks get targeted here

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Instead of looking for "the next Black Mecca", we need to be looking into doing international business with our brothers and sisters across the pond. Otherwise, we will continue to get pushed out of these "meccas" when cacs are tired of us.

ding ding.

I'm barely literate but smart enough to never let a cac disrespect me. I seen blatant racism on videos from cacs in the south they are way to comfortable that all I'm saying

I agree wholeheartedly.

I wanna see ideas like what you're proposing spread more in Black media outlets and whatever else that can reach people's minds.

There's gotta be some way to get the big city folks from the North and West to downscale a lil bit and see about them mid size spots. Or a way to get more small-mid size folks in the South to build up back home(not saying they don't already) instead of heading to the big spots. Im all about building up down south but I'm not feeling all of us being crunched in the same spread out spots.

One way we can do it is via fiction novels and science fiction. This could also be done on screen with Tyler Perry's movies.

We can essentially articulate the future we envision. Cacs do it all the time.

Imagine Tyler Perry constantly sliding in themes in his movie in which Black people are doing business along the stretch of Atlanta-Macon-Savannah.

Black billionaire with his office in Atlanta, weekend home in Macon and beachfront property in Savannah. Over time, that shyt would catch on with the people.

I still think Black people in South Georgia need to flock to Savannah.

Black folks can transform it into a tourist destination similar to Charleston, SC.

Atlanta can be where business is done and Savannah can be where conferences and other shyt take place.

That Atlanta-Macon-Savannah stretch of cities could form an economic power base.

Have some shyt in Macon that would draw Black people from Atlanta and Savannah on weekends.

I don't share your same sentiments regarding Dallas. However, the Gulf Coast is pretty much like the South Atlantic. Everybody knows the Gulf Coast areas of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are different from the rest of their respective states. Different economics, different lifestyles, different histories are pretty much shared from Mobile to Houston.Read a message from a poster in Mobile, AL that said his town has more in common with Houston than it does Atlanta and many folks agreed with him. This area has a high economic potential for Blacks to thrive in.

Anywhere black ppl decide to move en masse. Doesn't have to be down south or on the eastcoast.

You're talking about videos (of what are probably isolated incidents), I'm talking about real life. I've never seen any black person show any cowardice towards white folks in Memphis. Educate yourself, instead of making assumptions. We had riots after Dr MLK was killed here, we ain't never cowered to them

I agree about the Gulf Coast area. That shared culture could be leveraged.

I'm not sure what you disagree with about Dallas. I said it's a good place for a comfortable living and jobs for Black people. But, Black people will never be the main drivers of economic, political and social activity in Dallas. It's just not happening. Too much entrenched old cac money and young cac energy. No major HBCUs within 200 miles of the city.

Houston has more of chance to emerge as a Black Mecca than does Dallas. The constant talent streams coming out of Prairie View and TSU will mean that young, Black professionals continue to shape the culture of Houston for a long time. Not to mention all the young Black people who relocate to Houston after graduating from the HBCUs in Louisiana.

Meanwhile, young white grads from SMU, Baylor, Texas A&M, U of Oklahoma, UT Austin, Texas Tech, etc. will continue to shape the culture of Dallas.

I agree. That thread you made was on point.

I just wonder how do we get those in position to make those moves to see it this way? Are there any individuals/groups now moving in this direction?

Memphis has some real ass Black people there.

damn what happened?

Was on a field trip while staying with my fam for the summer in 92. Started raining on the way back to the bus. Cacs standing under overhang laughing saying run nigg*r. Making animal noises and grimacing at 8 y/o kids.

 

[scarlxrd]

Y'all keep naming cities with less than
500,000 people or ones that ain't even majority black

I just said a random town, Chattanooga first shyt that came to mind. Never even been to that motherfukker :shrugs: Didn't think we were actually trying to
