[mwalker96]

Who watches youtuber LongliveLangston he's a youtuber based out of North Carolina and he compares the south and the northeast a lot (specifically New York and the South). He's pretty pro-black and he often make videos about North Carolina. Here he is

Yeah, I've seen a few videos, but a lot of the view of the North is based on NYC and doesn't really get into other parts of the state/Northeast/Midwest.

He does also mention that cost has been going up in parts of the South and to not go to cities such as Atlanta or Charlotte "broke".

Yea he does limited the North to NYC which is very different than Buffalo, Pittsburgh or even Boston. Lots of places in the Northeast are gaining Black people, but nobody talks about those areas.

Lol I've watched a couple of his videos. Some things I agree with and others just sounds like rants based off bad mistakes he's made. Like his views on Atlanta while it does have some truths it's limited to mistakes he made while living in Atlanta. Also this video in particular is just another example of him projecting based off his experiences growing up in the projects in New York. Of course your quality of life will improve if you move from the projects to a single family home anywhere in the country. But I've heard former New Yorkers have the same complaints of NYC when they move down south.

I think the problem with his videos is that it's purely from a New York perspective, and not to mention Black experience. He's views is pretty narrow on a lot of things, but he does speak a lot of wisdom in his videos especially on not moving to Atlanta broke video.
