Alright, so I know this sounds kind of weird. But I'm relocating and was just wondering if I would be like...okay?
Again, I know. But I have a son and I'm a single black woman and just don't want to move anywhere I'm not wanted. I read that it's pretty diverse but I've also read that it absolutely not. And was just confused and wanted clarification.
Anyways, any feedback is appreciates. Or, anything else that would help in my decision.
I’d look first at the larger (over 200,000) cities. Greensboro and Durham both have large HBCUs in A&T and NCCU, so you shouldn’t feel too uncomfortable or out of place in any of those areas.
I read that it's pretty diverse but I've also read that it absolutely not.
I hate that 'diverse' term and refuse to address it.
NC is pretty tolerant of almost everything (race, gender, religion, sexuality, etc) almost everywhere.
More so in the more densely populated areas of course with a leaning toward acceptance ...
just like everywhere else in the country.
Acceptance and welcoming -at the individual level- is mostly about money.
That how much you have is enough is the 1st hurdle ... but also how tend it and how you spend it.
99 percent of the time, if you mind your business, present a smile and a friendly demeanor, obey laws, and treat others as you would like to be treated, ANYWHERE is okay to live.
Charlotte is probably NC's best option for a single black female with a child. It's NOT because NC is unwelcoming to blacks (far from it). It's just that in Charlotte, the large number of AAs gives blacks (and the issues most important to blacks) far more political representation. At present, over 300,000 blacks call Charlotte home (one of them is Charlotte's mayor).

Plus the NC 12th District of the US House is represented by Alma Adams, an African-American woman. The district covers most of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
I just want to say I'm considering moving to North Carolina and this thread is exactly what I'm wondering as well, whether it's acceptable and inclusive of black people. The first reply in this thread is dismissive and ignorant to the point of being offensive. Some people just don't understand.
Thanks for the information about African Americans having more political representation in Charlotte. One of the cities im considering is Charlotte. I'll be following the thread closely.
