Make a thread suggesting black people to move away from black people then. Don't trash this one.
It has nothing to do with black people moving away from black people. There are other cities in America besides Atlanta and DC that blacks can prosper in. Why on God’s green earth with the condition of Atlanta's economy would it be the best location for black Americans? I guarantee both DC and Atlanta will be number 1 & 2 for black Americans when the new black enterprise rankings come out.

Those cities are picked because they have the most successful African Americans and are also very popular amongst the Black media.
BET list is biased about DC because it's based in DC.

I truly agree with this. As soon as Houston, Dallas, or even Charlotte are mentioned to a black person to move to, they get bashed because their black culture isn't on par with Atlanta's or DC's. I feel like we as blacks need diversity and need to hang around people of different races to help decrease our crime rate. But no, we want to continue to move to Atlanta and DC raising their crime rate, and then have the nerve to complain to about what those cities haven't lived up to. We need to think for ourselves and move somewhere that benefits us individually. I think threads like this are misleading and are full of BS!

Funny thing is I mentioned the exact three cities as better places for blacks, and I'm the one who gets called an uncle tom and someone who hates their heritage. Well sorry if I would rather live in a city where there's on 25% percent of blacks but 80% of blacks are middle class and above than a city that's 50% black but has a 80% poverty rate amongst the black population.

Why is that people automatically assume naming Atlanta, DC, NYC, or Chicago as the "Capital of Black America" means that black people can't do well in other places?
