if you're Black and middle/upper class. I don't think working class or poor Black folks would necessarily fare better in the South due to the lack of unions, the Jim Crow esq welfare system, the limited public transit systems etc. I know of a lot of working class Black folks who moved to places like Atlanta and Charlotte and ended up in similar or worse conditions than they already had up North.

I personally would never live in the South because I come from a Northern family. We've been in Philly since the 1700s and I love it up here. All Black Northerners don't hate the South. Some of us simply have strong roots in Northern cities that we want to maintain. Why should we let gentrification win?
