Great for them. Some of the predominately black neighborhoods in Chicago are some of the most violent, most crime ridden places in the nation. Good to see people, particularly black people, escaping that kind of disaster and move to somewhere better, safer and with better opportunities. I would think everyone would congratulate them on stepping up in the world.
Detroit lost ~2/3rds of its population in the past 7 decades.
The city gives houses away for free, if you just pay the back property tax bill on them!
This is how uber-left policies play out over time...every time w/o fail. Leftist policies crush blacks economically, w/ crime, abortion, failed schools, political corruption, high taxes, eroding infrastructure, ect..
Blacks now have a new awareness of this, which is why they are voting increasingly for Republicans. Trump went from 8% in 2016 to 12% in 2020, a 50% increase. Today, black approval ratings for the Republican party has increased a lot.
When CNN says Dems are losing ground amongst blacks, you know its bad for Dems:

So it seems even a lot of middle to upper middle class suburban whites were fed up with the reactionary right - and in Texas besides!
You are free to have your own opinions, same as I do.
The only difference is that I do NOT attempt a insult you for yours.
But, if you want to go that route, I CAN oblige and you will se how "Quick" I CAN get!
You clearly believe that Black people that left the south to escape Jim Crow prior to 1965 are "LONG DEAD", how ridiculous is that? That's about a dozen of my family members, I'll have to alert them that they've been "long dead", lol.
