Blacks should move to the South to gain greater political, economic power: NYT columnist
Yahoo Finance ^ | 01Feb21 | K Meyers

Posted on 02/01/2021 4:04:28 PM PST by qaz123

New York Times columnist Charles Blow has outlined a new proposition to increase Black political power: a mass migration of Blacks in America to the South to create Black-majority states and cities.

Blow calls for a “Second Great Migration,” a reversal of the Great Migration that saw millions of Black Americans flee oppression and a lack of economic opportunity in the South for cities in the North, Midwest, and the West.

No matter how you comment on this ridiculous article and idea it'll seem wacissst....Everything anyone says/writes will be, I'm confident, 1000% accurate.

Lets take the South, where I migrated to in 1995. To Atlanta.

Atlanta is a dump and getting worse. I don't care about all the cranes, all the high rises, and most of all, ALL THE LIBERALS that are moving in and gentrifying black neighborhoods. The place is a dump. Leading up to the Olympics, the city had to start tearing down some of the housing projects in order to get rid of some of the crime. That drove those folks to the neighboring counties. So now, you have Gwinnett(dump and getting worse), Dekalb an absolute train wreck and getting worse, Clayton a disaster, Henry well on its way to being a disaster, Rockdale a disaster. There's a common denominator with all of them and the folks on here from Atlanta know exactly what I'm talking about.

Detroit.....had the ENTIRE auto industry in the palm of its hand......GONE

Philly .... an absolute disaster

NYC .... an absolute disaster

Houston .... disaster

Dallas .... disaster

Chicago .... f*cking war zone

Trenton, Camden, Newark .... disasters

On the other hand, if he orchestrates it and moves with the migration, I'm okay with that. I'll move back up North. It was a great place to grow up and I don't mind the snow and cold. Have one of his migrants give me a decent price for my house and I'm gone. Back up North. Taxes will go down. Crime will go down. It'll actually be a nice place to live again.

I can tell you right now what the problem will be - they can live in the southern big cities and feel right at home as they’re a lot like chicago and detroit, or they can move out to the suburbs and all the Republicans around them will turn them conservative.

There’s nothing wrong with the land.
They are the problem.
They need to fix their culture.

Look at Blacks moving to Atlanta. Huge impact. Cubans and Venezuelans are moving to Florida. Georgia turns blue while Florida remains red.

The reason for the downfall of all of those cities can be directly traced to Democrat leadership rather than ethnic demographics.

There is no fixing their "culture." They simply demand the white man sustain them in the midst of their chaos.

BTW, once again, this entire month is "black history" month.

What an absolute joke.

Not happening in the Atlanta Metro Area....once solid RED counties and districts are Purple and trending Blue.

Blow lacks the ability to think critically and reason. Voting Commie-Rat is what makes everyone poor and cities/states unlivable. Moving from Kalifornia to another State and then voting Commie-Rat is simply being a locust or cancer cell. Same for blacks who, in this guy’s hypothetical, move from cities Commie-Rats have owned continuously for 100+ years to somewhere else, and then vote Commie-Rat there.

If people in Kalifornica or blacks in this example, want things different, ie better, then they have to make that change within themselves first, and stop voting for Commie-Rats. In that case, you can stay where you are and greatly improve your situation. Moving and bringing your problems with you just ruins live for other people in addition to lives you already ruined where you currently live.

During the initial riots last June, there was some local Atlanta black thug that decried the riots there.

He called Atlanta “Wakanda.”

Well, the Democratic leadership has convinced the ethnic demographics that the Dem Way is the Only Way. And that is how the downfall of all those places has manifested itself.

At the end of the day, Democratic policies are all about money laundering and bribery.....absolutely nothing else. At every single level of government its only purpose is to figure out a way to generate graft, steal funds, steer contracts to friends for kickbacks, hire family members for kickbacks or sell influence.

That is what the Democratic Party and the Left, in general, is all about.

Yup.....It’s amazing how some people are regarded as “smart” while they’re dumber than dirt.

Well said.

You can’t fix society or culture without fixing the people first.

Fix the people and society and culture will follow.

Imposing external rules and regulations never worked, like Prohibition, the war on drugs, gun control, etc.. If people are not going to follow the laws in place already, they are not going to follow new ones.

And if you fix the people there won’t be a need for laws to deal with bad behavior because they will essentially self-police.

The Left also does a better job of pitching their snake oil than the Right. The Right barely pitches anything except their backsides when they lose.

I didn’t mean to say it would ever happen.
I live outside Philly.
Zero faith in them.

At least it’s the shortest month.
