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.

“Blacks will be outnumbered and outgunned when it comes to power....”

They are ALREADY outnumbered by Hispanics and Asians. The ONE reason why BLM exists is because of liberal white guilt. Gawd, how many times have mexicans come to me in private conversations and wonder why America supports n*ggers? (Yeah, they said it to me)

Hispanics are not one bloc. Depends on the nationality and wealth.

Newsflash

Black Democrats already control almost every southern city local government,

And all black belt counties...

It’s a beautiful thing

That's a good question coming from Hispanics. I agree. I say this as a person of mixed race.

I fear liberal whites more than anything. Californication is like being raped and mugged continuously and simultaneously for your entire life!

That has more or less been going on for the last fifty years and it’s picked up with the economic slump a few years back and now with COVID. It’s not news.

As I said on the main thread - I don’t expect Blow to actually take his own advice and leave his New York City digs and move to Tuscaloosa or maybe Hattiesburg.

“Do as I say - Not as I do.”

Liberal hypocrite.

So, Blow is admitting that the South is not a hotbed of white-supremacy in which blacks dare not show their faces in public?

I have yet to see any latino group work well with blacks and share power... California affirmative action ballot measure shook the dem party up..Hispanics and Asians shot it down.. There wont be many more goodies like that for blacks in the future..Not in California there won’t.

" 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."
(On that, I'm gonna bold this because it's an ignored aspect of that migration.)
A genteel older Negro friend of mine, who lived in Cambridge, ma told me long ago:

"We had it pretty good up here until all those field niggers from the South came here!"

People didn't care for the hillbillies either.
It wasn't race, but manners that made the impact.

Life's tough. But victimhood status gets old real fast. We all have baggage. Let's move on. Look at Vietnamese immigrants. I'm sure they had a traumatic experience with the Vietnam War. Didn't stop them from starting new lives in USA. That's just one story. Another one. How about Cubans fleeing communism and getting on a boat and moving to Florida.

You get my point.

I don't have the numbers with me right now but in California, Blacks make up perhaps 5% of the population? The average in USA is 13%.

One thing they are missing is that while many southern states will still have the ability to vote GOP with black loss. Some of those states they are leaving Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will lose Democrat votes and easily vote Republican with any substantial future decline of blacks. This is one reason why Trump carried those states and won the election in 2016.

If blacks want more political clout they should stop white liberals from paying to kill millions of black children.

I said millions.

So Charles Blow wants millions of Blacks to move down south to make those states useful for the Dumb Dumb-O-Crat plantation?

How about this: Blacks move where they want to move and vote how they want to vote (hopefully not Dumb Dumb-O-Crat), and everybody lives happily ever after, free from the racist busybodies at the New York Times.

Combined PING! and DANG!

Yet,the white liberal dems thought that the Hispanics would go along and vote for it... Were they shocked when it failed,,Hispanics said out loud why...They don’t need affirmative action and it was only to help the blacks...

In the 1980s, Dad told me whites were leaving Atlanta, and letting the blacks control it. And that the whites would control the state and leave Atlanta to the blacks. And...it happened. Now this.

I love my State. I love Atlanta. But even Buckhead where I used to live has turned into a ghetto war zone. Thanks, Keisa Lands Bottom.

The reason for the downfall of all of those cities...

...is ghetto culture. That goes for Whites as well as Blacks.
