Still neither is El Paso or Harlingen and likely never will be. 38% of metro Houston is Hispanic. 82% of metro El Paso is Hispanic. Houston Mexican immigrant population actually declined in the 2010s according to census estimates. Houston isn't Memphis or Atlanta but it isn't El Paso or even San Antonio either.

They are having kids like rabbits tho.

Also, they are double the Black population in Houston.

Houston will be over 50% Mexicans in 2030.

That will be predominately levels.

Why would it be a Southern state?


Because even though many ados are evolving to be more tolerant of snow and cold temperatures, black people in large are designed for warm, humid, climate.

You northern guys are trying to replace millions of years of evolution with a few generations of preference.

Go back and check the post again, I edited it and added my 2cent :smugdraper:
I believe we've discussed this already. As a representative from NY, i think we need a town in every state.

Some of us won't want to come south, for many reasons aside from the supposed increase in racism below the Mason dixon. For us personally, its social capital. :ld:

Perfect example of why it won't happen. Too small of a population and too divided in personal interests. Not to say anybody is wrong, but it just won't happen with the current dynamics of the black american population. Better get your passports ready.

This is why we can't rise up

Any random Black person with ANY suggestion on how we can get further ahead:

"Yo here's and idea that might help us get further.. "

EVERY SINGLE BLACK PERSON THAT HEARS THE IDEA:

"That

won't

work"

Coulda swore this thread posed the question to Black Americans. Weird seeing so many who arent answering in tandem.:skip:
In any regard, I've always been a proponent of Ados configuration, especially politically, and whether that be state-wide, or a establishing a centralized base--only good can result.

1. Oh shyt yeah, that was a year or two ago ... I never got back to you:whoo: I should go back to that thread:jbhmm:
https://www.thecoli.com/threads/i-r...eoples-as-tom-petty-counterproductive.601292/






2. I actually addressed this particular concern back on Nov 8, 2017
(Finding my references from years ago is prob one reason I don't do many of these convos any more.)

..
....
......​
I want to be productive here also:patrice:
So lets say an AA is comfortable where they are but also sees the value/logic in residing in the south.:jbhmm:
At that point what I suggest be done is to connect with a planner, career/life coach, etc. (I hate the term life coach btw :scust:)

Then say...
  1. these are the dynamics of my life... My life = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h]
  2. I want a transition plan to maintain those dynamics while living in the south. :feedme:
  3. At that point locations, professional groups, housing, etc etc. would be drummed up, agreed upon, and an action plan / timeline created.
  4. Over the coarse of the timeline the two would check in with each other for reminders/status reports to make sure the transition is going smoothly.


Conclusion:
If a person is fine where they are but sees the logic in moving down south, the point is to create an action plan(whether they use it or not) not convince them to leave their comfort zone.
I suggest the question be, "how do I maintain my current comfort zone in this new social / geographical context?"
(Which is more so an issue of planning than "convincing" or persuading ...either the transition plan meets your needs or they don't.)
......

:yeshrug:
It took generations(+/-70 years) to get the current population spread and I'd imagine it'll take generations to concentrate our population down again.
(I.E. if we can't get you we'll gladly accept your children, grandchildren, etc)

@videogamestashbox.com My man can take his job anywhere, but he's one more generation from the south than I am, and thus is unwilling to relocate. I think he'd be willing to buy property tho, and possibly, occasionally visit. :ld:

(I've been working on him for years, nay, decades.)
