My quibble has never been with either of them, its your analysis of their findings.

Neither of the 2 say black people are flying to the south. It is you who is saying that, and it is you who is wrong.

Your own link says that only 22,000 people actually migrate from the North to the South( the South includes Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware) a year. That isnt what most people would define as black flight.

Yes indeed. It's a wonder the West ever got settled by those folks who had to give up everything and travel in covered wagons fighting the elements, Indians, etc. I agree the Blacks stepped into a can of worms when they left the South and moved to the auto industries of Detroit.




I don't know what has been worse, the introduction of drugs to the inner city - which was initiated and perpetuated by the government - or the war on drugs, also perpetuated by the government.
What about that woman's primary purpose for establishing Planned Parenthood? She was a real fine piece of humanity too.

When you talk about this country being greedy, you can include the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye West and the rest of the black millionaires, including Oprah.
They should want to, but I realize that is probably not going to happen. Even if we did receive reparations, the black community needs to come together or it all would be a waste. All of our black entertainers continuously fail to encourage black people specifically. If they do any charitable deed, they do it for all people. They should be ashamed of themselves for not addressing the issue in their own community, and even perpetuated it and profited from it.

Being poor is a choice.
Been drinking that Ayn Rand/right-wing Social Darwinist Kool-Aid, I see.

You know what a Republican is? A smug right-wing Hannity and Limbaugh listener who's never been sick or lost a job.

No need, just pointing out the "issue" I noticed.

They have become successful in the music business, but they really owe it to start a profound message to the community in earning degrees in business and so forth.
Do you want the descendants of the Black slave owners to pay up too, or is this just a white's owe me thingy?

Agreed - but what does that have to do with what I was saying?

1. Dropping out of college is not the same thing as not valuing it

2. Jay Z never went to college

3. Both Jay Z and Kanye West have college scholarship funds.

4. Why do people mention Jay Z and Kanye West as if they are the 2 richest black people in the world

In hip hop, Kanye is like 19th in net worth. Jay Z is 2nd or 3rd depending on the ranking.

How many Black slave owners were there? Less than 5 percent - and many of them "bought" slaves who were their relatives so they could free them.

You nailed me alright. I have been sick. Very sick in fact. I've never lost a job nor have I ever drawn one minute's unemployment either. I guess I'm a racist too because I never voted for Obama either.
