[@BeAManPodkast]

I am a resident of Desoto and own a business in Lancaster. The problem we run into with these communities is that the majority of the black people that live there and make up the most wealth in the community do not actually work there. Typically, the professional people are driving miles to work either to downtown Dallas or even further. I first noticed this when I myself had to commute the 37 miles one-way to Plano everyday for a consulting role. All the traffic flowed to the north in the mornings and to the south in the afternoons. There aren't many black owned businesses in these communities that are employing people in numbers. Also, we typically don't own much land in these communities. That's not always completely our fault though - "they" don't like to sell to us. I've tried to buy a few different properties in my area only to be either hung up on or lied to. Still, in order for us to hold a true stake in the game and really call these "black communites", we'll need to own some of that land. Community investing needs to be our next step

As someone that moved to Texas from the East Coast, I will say there are pros and cons in every area mentioned. To me, the main con is traffic. The people I know that live in those areas have a 45 min.- 1 hour commute time to get to work every day (not so much so in Ft. Worth). Rest assured, the commute is not fun! Texas drivers are challenged and its good to say a daily prayer when getting on the main highways every morning and evening. In addition, most of the "Southern Tier" cities mentioned near Dallas have those large populations of Blacks because they never move! They and their families have lived ONLY there. While people say they are welcoming, I will tell you ... it's not that simple. Anyone that wants to move here I highly recommend they move as close as they can to where they work. I live next door to Mesquite in a very new community and am quite content. Mainly, because most of the residents are from other cities. Good luck, everyone!

[@dezgarrett2790]

These are "black" communities I supposed. Pearland and Manvel and parts of Missouri City (Sienna, Riverstone, Lake Olympia) are more diverse than anything. But there also a lot of black people. I live in Sienna and there's a ton of us there, but its also very diverse. Guessing that's why 77053 and 77489 are mentioned....they're right on the outskirts of the more blended communities. I grew up in 77489, and my HS (Willowridge) was in 77053, and its NOTHING like it was when I lived there.

[@shantellpatton4480]

I’m planning on moving to Texas soon can’t wait

[@Blackstaar52]

please dont. . .we are full

[@cordarojohnson2537]

If you do, Dallas is full. But come if you want, everyones welcome!

[@josephdollarhide4098]

I won't lie Dallas is jam packed, but not near as packed as Austin or something. Austin is packed and they don't have enough space to really expand. Dallas was at least big enough to handle this to some extent. I'm from a small town called Texarkana, but I live in DFW now. It's pretty nice.

[@j.campbell8491]

Texas is a huge state. There is enough room for everybody.

[@tiffdoingwell]

I was looking at houses in TX and you guys shared this, thank you 😊

[@BlackExcellist]

TiffDoingWell thx your support! 🙏🏽

[@jayhess1511]

The "H" in Humble is silent. If I hear someone pronounce the h I always know they aren't from here lol

[@BlackExcellist]

We are not from Texas. That’s a fact. Thank you for the correction though.

[@adjustwithcaution]

Lol!! I’m from Fort Worth and I said the “h” so you right lol 😂

[@josephdollarhide4098]

@@adjustwithcaution right? Been in Texas my WHOLE life and never heard of this "Umm-ble" business until this video so don't feel bad Black Excellence lol

[@oneinamillion8037]

I'm from Texas and didn't realize the H was silence. I've never been there but notice alot of people must be buying houses there.

[@nursetothecore295]

Thank you! That drove me crazy 😂 But I figured it was pronounced that way due to not being familiar with the area personally so it was ok. Positive she pronounced Lancaster properly and it’s mispronounced often as well.

[@tommyjones1582]

DESOTO proud!!!! DR.J we see you!

[@everythingglorious8568]

In the wake of recent events, we black need to pull together, strengthen our shared identity, culture, colour and faith. We need to celebrate ourselves and help one another climb to success.

[@malloryhowarth9905]

Thank you for sharing this positivity, it’s so important. Black people need more representation for being successful!

[@YancyWill]

I just saw this video, Thank you for this. I am originally from NJ, born and raised, however my parents moved to Texas due to my dad's job (he was an engineer). You never realize when your younger what your parents do for you, and your future. We moved so many times in Texas, until my parents bought their home, which was in Cedar Hill, TX, at the time growing up in Cedar Hill, no one knew where that was, so you always had to say...right outside of Dallas, Lol!!! I graduated from CHHS (🤘 Go Longhorns) and made so many great friends, that I consider family. My brother decided to stay, and he lives in Ft. Worth. We are buying a home in FL, but if i had a choice, i would have chosen Cedar Hill, TX to raise my children. I have grown to love Texas so much, and I would do it all over again (make a few personal changes, Lol!!), but it made me, me right!! Not a Cowboys fan though, Lol!!

[@HairTreasure]

I am so proud of this video, you guys did a great job! 🤘🏿

[@ArchieRowe]

Great stuff guys and Im honored seeing my DeSoto videos incorporated. Yall got me feeling like Black Excellist over here! Hey should you all ever need assistance feel free to reach out. 😂

[@l.g.355]

These are great guys. More please. More often.

[@domoniquekyle7590]

I’m moving to Texas next year. This was helpful!

[@sharae951]

I live in Richmond Texas(77406) so this is very interesting to see.

[@matthewmontalvo5066]

how do you rate it there

[@tiffdoingwell]

How would you rate it?

[@blacktea69]

Y'all rich too? Lol

[@LuxeJourneyVlogs]

Very interesting video, so very informative and refreshing.

[@PreachersKid93]

These class sizes!! 😍😍😍 currently teaching 22 2nd graders in Texas. Due to most being online at the beginning of the year, I started off with 14. It is a HUGE difference now that all are back in school. Lower class sizes allow teachers to focus on students' individual needs. This is most likely the reason for such high achievement rates in these communities.

[@FlakoXL]

So the Houston area and the DFW, lived here my whole live never knew this was different than anywherr else. Nice too know.

[@KittyKatReviews]

I've only been to Cedar Hill but been wanting to move to Desoto! Thank you for making this list! Could you do a list of black owned tech companies please? I'm hoping for a Web Development career when I can move out there.

[@Mommabear_co]

I’m in frisco 75034 and we dope up here I moved from Chicago and love it in Tx

[@estherw-fnpofficialchannel3163]

Frisco has more indiana than black though. So the city though beautiful and affluent we dont have enough of us there

[@kevinchristie4972]

yeaaaaa but not that many black people up there. There are more black people in little Elm than Frisco

[@PhoenixBlacc]

There's not really a lot of Black people that actually reside in Frisco like that and you do not get that much bang for your buck. However, Frisco has a great job market for healthcare and tech. It is in close proximity to some large corporations like Chrysler and it's only a few minutes down the tollway from Dallas.

[@allikhaur]

I live in allen another affluent are by Frisco. I'm getting the heck out of here this year, after 9 years. Safe, pretty, good public schools... but I need more... of my own culture and less southern, less pretentiousness.... Raised here in dfw(texas), and lived in Desoto for 15 year before moving to Allen tx.

[@tinadiggs7456]

"Wow, Texas is a beautiful State!!!" TFS, Black Excellist!!!

[@odeliesha]

I'd be interested in seeing on of these for Alabama and South Carolina please.

[@EvangelistRBColbert]

I left the West Coast in 2012 and moved to Houston. I have not regretted it!!!!

[@EvangelistRBColbert]

@Inconnu X - Cost of living and to be within driving distance from family.

[@ivalinapasse2469]

Very Impressive!!!!!Very Inspirational things that they don't show on television how Black People can live with diversity and get along Well.

[@prospersis4540]

I’m thinking about moving there in about 5 years!!! Great info!

[@karnegieloveday6089]

[@rebercadavid8522]

Can I get one of these videos for Florida please?

[@BlackExcellist]

Reberca David Yes we are going highlight other states as well! Stay tune & thank you for subscribing! ✊🏽

[@aritruths1452]

Florida Sucks and nothing here worth seeing especially black!

[@BlkWolf-vj3mh]

I'm subscribing and telling everyone about this channel. We need more channels like this. Instead of preaching to us, this helping find a solution

[@BlackExcellist]

Yes, “Take action” is one of our mantras. We consider ourselves brand managers for the black community and will do all we can put out a digital footprint that counters all of the negativity associated with our people.

[@BlackExcellist]

Welcome aboard! We hope to hear from you on other videos. ❤️

[@mb3198c]

I’m here because this is in my recommended. 🤷‍♀️ I prefer Dallas than Houston. Have a good day and stay safe everyone.

[@haveambition7380]

What a refreshing perspective of our (black) lives. I am truly inspired and motivated, no NEGATIVITY here.

[@laneshanelloms]

It’s different watching videos like these, but actually lives here is like the experiences are different!😆

[@brianlewis9438]

Wow, I love it i didn't know all this before i saw this video i was already looking to move to Houston from Chicago, I'm working on moving this summer, ready to Network!!!

#LETSGETIT

[@ichoosemysanity6467]

I love seeing Blacks do well I was born and raised in Texas and haven't seen many of my people doing well. This is so refreshing!

[@vandatisdale8772]

Thanks so much for sharing this information!

[@msk957]

I’m down here in Fort Hood. I’m about 2 hours from Dallas and 3 hours from Houston.I prefer Dallas over Houston though. Great video !

[@angies4541]

I Agree. Dallas has many more affluent professional blacks. Dallas is so much more prettier than Houston. Better shopping in Dallas to.

[@andreapatterson8983]

I love this! It’s so informative. Can we get more like this in different cities.

[@quingomez9005]

I am a young black professional, and I live in a new luxury master planned community here in Humble, Tx. It is so amazing to see my black people doing well.

[@boo-sito2258]

Do we have an updated list for 2023??

[@Laquia]

Sent this to my mom. Came upon you guys by KZbin algorithm. KZbin did something right for once.
