The ratio of B/W in the city of Atlanta has been moving in the opposite direction for the last 15 years...it topped out at about 65%, and continues to decline.
I remember some Katrina refugees were relocated to Colorado. A man was interviewed who said they didn't know where they were going until the plane took off, then they were told they were going to Denver. I don't know how many stayed. What a culture shock that must have been! I've never been to New Orleans, but I daresay we have a different culture here.

If somebody here from Seattle said "I'm afraid of earthquakes and volcanoes, point me toward a city with lots of White people", their post would probably be deleted. Why not just find a city that's interesting to you and quit worrying about what color people are?
If I were a black person from New Orleans looking for a new city, I think I would choose the city with the least amount of black people. I have never understood peoples need to be with people their own race. This is America. Spread the diversity around. I think black people would be more respected if they mingled more with other races and did not all try to go to the same place.
