12681881, (Excluding NYC) what U.S. city has the most Blk transplants? Posted by blkprinceMD05, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
I'm just gonna assume NYC wins any transplants completion across all races, regions
But out of the rest who has the most Black transplants?
I kno ATL has A LOT of Blk transplants, myself included, but I maintain most transplants here are from other parts of the south (which doesn't fit neatly with fuck them northeastern transplants narrative but that's another post).
However it always amazes me how many Blk Midwesterners I encounter down here, Cleveland, Detroit, KC and STL being the leaders from my anecdotal evidence
I mean, I get it, I suffered 4 winters in STL and besides the chi there are other negatives about Midwest cities that I won't list cause this ain't about bashing
But yeah it's a lot of them down here.
Does dc have more? La for all the aspiring entertainers?

12681981, I know a grip of cali nyggas that moved to The A Posted by deejboram, Sun Dec-21-14 08:12 PM
nobody was fuckin with east coast (DC to Boston) everybody moved to Hotlanta (or Phoenix/Vegas)
|
12682003, not sure why LA is even on the list tbh Posted by Madvillain 626, Sun Dec-21-14 09:18 PM
in the last 10 years i'd wager black folk were more likely to dip out of LA then move here
esp when the messican/blk beef was in full force around 05-09ish?

12682007, It's the entertainment capital of the world and I know several ppl who Posted by blkprinceMD05, Sun Dec-21-14 09:20 PM
Have moved out there...

12682123, Well hell, technically......how far back we going? Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Mon Dec-22-14 07:24 AM
Of course we refer to them as those who moved there in the last 15 years maybe...and we rarely include folks who came here for college as a transplant.

12682124, LOL how many black ppl are in SoCal schools? Posted by deejboram, Mon Dec-22-14 07:27 AM
how many of them are not from cali?
of course Long Beach State and Dominguez Hills are being touted as west coast HBCU now but i think most of them are local SoCal enrollees
UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, CIT, etc aint getting many black enrollees tho period.

12682018, atlanta then dc Posted by shygurl, Sun Dec-21-14 10:01 PM
DC prolly has the highest concentration of transportees with graduate degrees.

12682022, This isn't an opinion poll. There's census data and it's ATL Posted by ndibs, Sun Dec-21-14 10:15 PM
NYC has a bunch of West Indians but not a lot of Blacks. It's bleeding Blacks in fact... I know you transplants will try and tell me something different as if you were there 10-20 -AND 30 years ago and can honestly compare. But ATl wins this hands down.

12682161, yes but it's more fun for us to guess which city has the most Posted by SoWhat, Mon Dec-22-14 09:31 AM
Black transplants b/c we get to throw shade in the process.
like: i know the answer ain't Los Angeles b/c it ain't enough trucks available to ship all enough weave down there to handle an influx of Black transplants.
|
12682169, that list is not relevant because it goes back 200years Posted by deejboram, Mon Dec-22-14 09:38 AM
nobody is moving to Jackson Mississippi, FLINT or Birmingham like that
|
12682174, plus OP wants to know which has the most transplants. Posted by SoWhat, Mon Dec-22-14 09:41 AM
as in blacks who moved there after having grown up somewhere else.

12682180, on a somewhat related note: i HATE when transplants bitch & complain Posted by BigJazz, Mon Dec-22-14 09:51 AM
about the city they now live in while constantly saying how much better it is where they're from.
if your hometown is that great and where you're currently at sucks so much, TAKE YOUR ASS BACK HOME.
especially for those that's been in the new city for 10+ years...

12682195, Why didn't Chicago make this list? Posted by Mongo, Mon Dec-22-14 10:06 AM
