You think Europeans would have spent resources, time, money, building up their towns and cities and then just magicly leave it for another minority to settle it?

Fast forward a few hundred years and here we are.

I was being facetious...

You think NYC doesn't have cold winters? It doesn't snow in NYC? Yet, NYC has entire section filled with AA. Maybe the 4 degree temp difference in the deal breaker.

People, white people, black people, people all over hate the cold.

@Jpeirpont- Perhaps learn more about the AA history in the North, in Boston, etc. The comment of blacks on a national scale or whatever is just flat out wrong.

The fact is, Boston, was one of the first to allow AAs to do anything on a national scale. Hell the NAACP & the civil rights movement has it's roots from Boston.

What the heck are people learning about?

There nothing about black people I need to learn you know. Nothing, not one single solitary thing. lol. This ignorance in this post in proof of that.

This actually proves Miami is less diverse and I say this because diversity is defined as: the condition of having or being composed of differing elements.

Miami is composed of 70% the same ethnicity Bostons largest ethnic majority is white at 53% non-hispanic white is 47% and that still includes english to middle eastern.

This would mean Boston is more diverse according to the definition posted above. As the city of Miami is composed of 70% the same element and Boston it is only 47%.

Most do move. They get their coveted degree and bounce. A few wind up with jobs in Boston and actually grow to like it.

But that is true of most college and university students everywhere in the US... it's not just black and non-white graduates that leave the place they just finished their schooling in.

Or put another way, it's not at all true that most white graduating students stay in Boston or the place they went to college or graduate school at.

Oh know, I knew he was black already, he said it in a previous post. His comment about Boston was still incorrect and way off.
