The Millennial generation elected the first one, and the Millennial generation will elect another...but not until after the Boomer generation is dead and no longer around to screw up his presidency with our racism. The last generation born into apartheid will have to die first.

In this case, the concept of "tradition" and "history" for a lot of Americans such as yourself is even shorter.

If you read that article, you saw that it spoke of trends that are only half a century old.
Yep. 50 years. In that timeframe the more educated Blacks have found that it's better to move out of the blue states and into the red states. They've also found that it's better to avoid traditionally Black population centers.

Think about that...

Unfortunately, that's Obama's legacy.

The error you're attempting to perpetuate is that we are moving back to the south because we prefer the politics. That's simply wrong.

There are many reasons we are moving back home, but it's not to vote for Republicans.

My Fortune 50 company was willing to pay for relocation and give me a promotion...so I'm going back in spite of you.

And, for that matter, to spite you.

And I'll be carrying a gun, too. Woo-woo. I dun got uppity.

The NY Times article specifically states that there are better opportunities in the red states.

"...younger and more educated black residents move out of declining cities in the Northeast and Midwest in search of better opportunities."

Better opportunities in red states. Think about that...

Good. The 2nd Amendment gives us all the right to do so!

That's what I'm talking about. The group our leaders were so scared of they had to start assassinating them and locking them up.
