"Poll question: (Excluding NYC) what U.S. city has the most Blk transplants?"
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?

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.
8. "LOL how many black ppl are in SoCal schools?" In response to Reply # 7
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.

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.

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.
