I've been here for 28 years and never experienced a racist. Now there's a nice amount of rebel flag carrying white people and there's also a few white majority towns that black people would tell you to avoid. I live in the Mississippi Delta though which is majority black and Democrat.

Not all citizens that reside in rural areas are farmers. I once lived in the MS Delta and yes farmers did well for themselves however there are many people (black and white) who didn't know where the next meal is coming from. This is no different than inner city to suburban citizens.

[@rackss1661]

No blacks didn’t start this mass migration back to the South until the late 90s. Blacks in the 70s and 80s stayed in there respective areas they moved and live for then decades. It wasn’t until the 90s when Atlanta NC Virginia Florida and Texas all became hot spots for people moving. Honestly blacks need to start moving to the Northwest and Mountain west states like Colorado. We are already populated majority South then the Midwest and Northeast then California and Nevada are the only states in the West with large numbers of black Americans.

Black people should be focused like a laser beam on rebuilding their family units and neighborhoods, so that they can create business and employment opportunities for their people. However, we spend more time discussing politics, a system which is powered by money, power, wealth, and influence., which the average person doesn't have much to offer in these areas.

[@steelhere5519]

Wishful thinking, but black people do not support black owned businesses.

[@big662]

You also have to factor in that there's not that many high paying jobs in the south. You can move down here and buy up land/property, but you won't be making the same amount of money like you did up north.

Many of those who are moving down South have money or are retiring from high paying careers...their pension and social security are much more than those who work in the South...

I'm noticing when it comes to Black people Democrats bring up prison more than the economy. Rather than focusing on a better prison system, how about better economic opportunities so we don't have to go to jail in the first place? Every time we bring this up we're feeding into the negative stereotype that crime & prison is a Black thing.

[@justin-credible]

OutSource FutureMental Because that’s the way they keep you voting democrat no matter what. And every 2 to 4 years they say they’ll do something and when they don’t they blame blk ppl again. It’s the same con game of the last 50 years.

[@justin-credible]

They center the narrative around crime and not economics in order to make society associate us with crime whether they be a white liberal or white conservative. While BOTH make it worse. Notice they try to make “misogyny” as big a deal as racism like white women don’t hold power over blk men or brown ppl. It’s all in their words.

[@TipToe67]

OutSource FutureMental I agree. Most of our people that are in there are in there for a reason. The discussion should be prison prevention.

[@frankbutler9512]

@@TipToe67 With your dumbass, you don't know that MOST are in there for a reason. With things like people getting 20 years for supposedly stealing chewing gum, black children having cops called on them while obeying laws and doing mundane everyday activities, and people getting shot in the street unarmed, there's no way to quantify how many black people actually are in jail/prison for a real reason. However, I agree with the 'prison prevention' idea and the economics mention from the earlier comments is exactly right. It's treated as a game. Black people care about all issues - not just ones that are particularly bad.

I was out home back in California and I've experience this when I was cruising around San Francisco and looking around in the neighborhoods like the Fillmore District, Ocean View, Lakeview, in Hunters Point Bayview. Half of the African American population is reducing back to its Southern Roots. States like Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and South Carolina these are the main five states that are seeking population growth even from African Americans that come from different cities in different states. But I've been living in Texas for almost three years now it's cheap to live down south even though the weather is very drastic but I can't do nothing about it. If only California can stop fucking shit up I'll move back and plus it really sucks because I don't have that much family out here in the south most of them are back home in the Golden State in some are in the Midwest.

Georgia has played a more prominent role in the reverse Great Migration story than Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. That's neither odd or perplexing considering the numbers. Georgia played a much less prominent role in the early to mid 20th century Great Migration story than Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. That's both odd and perplexing when considering that in comparison to their respective 1920 black populations, average black populations from 1930-1970, happened to be 226,000 larger in Louisiana, 58,000 larger in Alabama, 24,000 larger in Mississippi, but.101,000 smaller in Georgia.

Indiana and Ohio are pretty cheap too. I moved from Michigan to Indiana and it's way cheaper in Indiana. From car insurance to rent. Anywhere in detroit metro area you're gonna pay damn near $800 a month to live in the ghetto. And car insurance is over 200 a month.

Roland was on point as usual. Glad to see Fox news reaching out to intelligent informed well-rounded black men like Roland for answers concerning the black community.

I agree!

When asked "Why aren't african americans listening to the Trump agendas"…!? Roland's answer is right on point.. His policies are dogs with fleas ., it would be totally bad negotiation.. Just the same as keeping representatives that don't deliver something as simple as Constitutional Rights for their constituents.

[@AbbyNixon]

This is why I don't get why this cadre of black KZbinrs and their subs blast Roland. He's knows his facts, responds to everything with policies, history, legislation and the legislators who put them in place. All the naysayers want to bring up BS, dancing with Hillary Clinton, sounding like Elmer Fud, or his attire. This was a good exchange and I'm more surprised that the Fox newscaster was there bc I thought they X him for sexual harassment plus he's super religious on corporate ownership of US, but Roland using force you stepping up your BS or submit to intelligence facts...just the facts

[@earnestlewis1217]

It is because he brings the facts...they really despise someone who researches and reads...their leader doesnt

[@mechelledesigns]

Just because the voting procedures are different in California than Georgia that doesn’t mean voter suppression. Each state is somewhat different. There are simple instructions passed out before you vote explaining what to do. There is also instructions on the machine. I have lived in a Georgia for over 25 years. I have never had an issue with voting.

[@freddyfrug4711]

There's more writings about the migration of black people from Louisiana to elsewhere than black people from Georgia to elsewhere. This is true despite that Georgia's average black population of 1,106,000 from 1930-1970 being 101,000 smaller than the state's black population of 1,207,000 in 1920, and Louisiana's average black population of 926,000 from 1930-1970 being 226,000 larger than the state's black population of 700,000 in 1920.
