Report: Black Americans Fleeing Democrat-Controlled New York, California
Neil Munro7-9 minutes 1/17/2022

Many black Americans are leaving New York and California to seek decent wages and affordable housing in southern states, according to a Washington Post article that ignores the federal policy of importing foreign people to fill jobs and homes in New York and California.

“There is a noticeable lack of black people in these cities that were once the mecca for black America, for people fleeing the Jim Crow South,” the Post’s reporter told an interviewer.

The Post reported January 14 on the southern migration, which is now reversing the historic “Great Migration” of black Americans from the South to northern cities during the 1900s:
For the second census in a row, Chicago and its suburbs lost Black population, and has decreased by 130,000 since 1990. In Michigan, both the Detroit and Flint metropolitan areas lost Black population in absolute terms … Metro New York recorded its second consecutive loss in Black population, losing about 110,000 Black residents since 2000. In California, metro Los Angeles has lost 160,000 Black residents since 1990, while metro San Francisco has lost 90,000.
Many people are migrating from homes in sunny California and wealthy New York to southern states, the article shows:
The percentage of Black Americans who live in the South has been increasing since 1990, and the biggest gains have been in the region’s large urban areas, according to census data. The Black population of metro Atlanta more than doubled between 1990 and 2020, surpassing 2 million in the most recent census, with the city overtaking Chicago as the second-largest concentration of African Americans in the country after metropolitan New York. The Black population also more than doubled in metro Charlotte while greater Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth both saw their Black populations surpass 1 million for the first time
The National Archives describes the prior movement of black Americans from the south to the north:
The Great Migration was one of the largest movements of people in United States history. Approximately six million Black people moved from the American South to Northern, Midwestern, and Western states roughly from the 1910s until the 1970s. The driving force behind the mass movement was to escape racial violence, pursue economic and educational opportunities, and obtain freedom from the oppression of Jim Crow.
The movement north intensified during the high-wage decades while the federal government sharply restricted international migration:
During this period [after World War II], more people moved North, and further west to California’s major cities including Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. Within twenty years of World War II, a further 3 million Black people migrated throughout the United States.
The domestic migration of black Americans — and also of poor white Americans from West Virginia and other states — largely ended after 1965 when the federal government allowed employers to hire international migrants. But the Washington Post article does not menti0n the federal government’s international migration policy.

The federal policy has extracted millions of people from poor countries to serve as cheap workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-funded consumers, especially in California and New York.

The federal pipeline of foreign consumers and foreign labor allows state and local governments the easy option of building their economies on cheap labor instead of the difficult task of creating a middle-class economy for Americans. For example, Joseph Salvo, New York City’s chief demographer, told the New York Times in April 2020 why city leaders prefer foreign bodies to replace the migrants who exited the city during the coronavirus crash:
In the pandemic, [migrants] are trying to make a living and coming home and living in close proximity to other people. And they work the cash-only jobs, service jobs, services in buildings, home health aides, that we start to lose. Our growth is going to depend on giving support to these immigrants, many of whom suffered and lost family members.

What we pray will happen is that the city will come back with a ferocity we have never seen in food, beverage, entertainment and hotels. All of that is going to come back. And hopefully the immigrant population will prosper because of that. That’s the key.
“We’re nothing if we’re not a nation of immigrants,” Democrat leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, told a December 2020 online meeting of pro-migration business leaders. “Immigrants built this country with their hands, enriched our culture with their minds and spirit, and provided the spark that drives our economy.”

But for the establishment’s reporters, migration is an unmentionable force in the U.S. economy.

However, the Washington Post’s author, Emmanuel Felton, hinted at the issue during an interview with Charles Blow on the Black News Channel.

“You see black people leaving gentrifying cities like New York,” he said, without describing the people who are gentrifying blacks out of pleasant homes in Los Angeles, Washington D.C, New York, or the close-in districts on the southside of Chicago. Felton said:
We’re seeing these trends that started in the 90s of why people leaving the Bay Area, leaving Los Angeles, leaving Chicago, leaving New York, it [has not] lessened. So what that means over time is that … the loss of black population is becoming really noticeable. If you think about a movie like The Last Black Man in San Francisco, this is in our Zeitgeist now. There is a noticeable lack of black people in these cities that were once the mecca for black America, for people fleeing the Jim Crow South.

Black Americans are also leaving cities such as St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland, where manufacturing economies have collapsed, he said. Felton did not mention the impact of the federal government’s free trade policies on those cities.

There is some evidence that middle-class black Americans are leading the southern migration, Felton told Blow. “A lot of the people I talked to were black middle-class folks … It is sort of like what happened with the Great Migration … It was the strivers who left [the south], it was people who were willing to leave their homes and willing to leave comfort and try to make a go of it somewhere else.”

The Congressional Black Caucus does not oppose migration, even though many black Americans gained jobs and wages when President Donald Trump’s migration policies and the coronavirus combined to burst the government-inflated cheap labor bubble in 2020.

A wide variety of little-publicized polls do show deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs young U.S. graduates seek. This opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, nonracist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.

I can tell you this is true for fact. We have so many people looking for apartments from New York here in Florida it is absolutely ridiculous. And so many of them do not have a steady job or a job of any length with adequate income to be able to afford monthly rents. They get down here and they live in hotels for months and then wonder why they don’t have any money. A lot of them are on waitlist for public assistance etc. they come down here with what they think is a lot of money and they run through it so quickly because they don’t secure housing before moving here and have no sense of how expensive things have gotten here in Florida.

How long before the FL social services system collapses under their weight?

They will just bring the squalor and degradation with them.
sorry, but it is as it is.
it happens when any race move in mass to escape the problems they brought upon themselves. The problems are themselves.
I saw it in northern Idaho when I first moved there. The more Californians moved into the low income relaxed style areas. The more like California, with the big box malls, and starbucks it became. Along with the traffic.
it is a mass exodus problem anywhere it occurs.

Neither here nor there.
a year or two for most of them

yep, that's what we've seen here. The ones that stay eventually end up fully employed and are staying because going back to the hood means persecution or even death.

I know a couple of black women who came here because they had a much better chance at getting a good nursing job, having gone to nursing school.

One even had a masters in some sort of administrative work that put her in the position of being the second from the top position at a local nursing home.

I've mentioned her before, her youngest was getting the shit beat out of him on a daily basis because 1. he was a nerd and 2. he was consistently on the honor roll. When she moved him here he wasn't allowed to have black friends, lol, and he's black and NA. She also moved her other eight kids, and their families, here most of which are employed in the trades from plumbing, hvac, auto and tire, to lawn care, and the lone daughter is also a nurse. They are dispersed around various parts of Iowa now from Des Moines, to Waterloo, to Council Bluffs, etc.

I see this with whites as well, their kids will land at the university here and they will come stay a month or two, and then decide to move from their small rural towns to here where there's actual employment. And there are help wanted signs everywhere here, and has been for the past twenty or so years now.

The one drawback to living in town here is rent is high, college town. So if one is willing to commute 20 to 30 minutes there are inexpensive places to live and most of the small towns have people of all races living in them, here in central Iowa.

Here the theme is "Iowa Nice" and if you're an ass you'll find yourself being run out of town no matter how much money you have.

Same with Californians in Idaho. They are all over FB begging for help and handouts.

We have a saying here in ND, 40 below keeps out rif raf. Now it is not meant as a racial slur, rather todays meaning has more to do with Kalifornicans and New Yawkers in general.

LOL, it's usually the 100+ temps and 90% humidity that runs them away from Texas.

I remember back in the early 80's, we had a *lot* of Michiganders and other northern folk invade the Houston area. I worked construction then, and when they (the uneducated bottom feeders) found out what it was like to work in the sun from 10am on, that there were very little handouts from the state & city, they realized their f---- up. We had a large tent city north of town under the San Jacinto River bridge.... no Sec8 housing. Perhaps they'll remember? Naaaah.

what very few people know is that in the late 1800's so many blacks moved up north for jobs and to be equal. after so many moved they took many jobs.
that's when the northerners started saying, we wanted them free, DOWN THERE, not up here. their attitude changed once they had to live near them.
be careful what you wish for

This is why I love the area I live in, Its economically depressed and we don't have the problem of people wanting to move here from out of state. And what folk of color that do live here, work for a living and are too proud to ask for a hand out, at least that I have seen. Rural farming areas don't see at lot of city slickers coming around they can't take the ever present smell of Chicken and cow crap on the pastures. :D

All by design. The big inner cities will be filled with recently arrived and soon to arrive illegal foreigners, aliens. They need to make room in these less desirable places. The blacks and leftists flee from the there to make new places less desirable.

We have our AO in the Tampa area due to income producing necessities but our BOL is in North Florida … forty-five acres of peace and quiet (and more work) that we run to once a month and have for the last eighteen years. We built a house. We just built a 12x18 screened gazebo two months ago. Next week we have a crew coming in to build a 31x48 carport and a 40x41 steel building we are calling a “barn.” LOL.

I wish we had done this years ago but the truth is there is only so much time and so much money in any given day. It has taken us this long to put more than a house on the property. Next project is making the place friendlier for my parents who are becoming more mobility challenged. For now they are much happier and safer/healthier living a couple of houses down from us back at our primary location. If there is an emergency we’ll grab them up, whatever kids will follow, and we’ll head to the BOL but that is taking some adjustments to change the way we’ve always done things.

Depending on where you go in the bigger cities you can manage just fine but Miami and south Florida is like a different country on occasion, especially when Miami Carnaval is going on. And when it isn’t Carnaval, the Jews and the Eastern Europeans take over the area. Then you have all of the Indians and Pakistanis and Middle Easterners that congregate aroun the state. In my husband’s lifetime Florida has really changed (he native). In his father’s childhood (also native) it was the Mob families that ran things. And Florida has always had “negro towns.” Heck, Cedar Key is where Rosewood happened. Blacks were the original seasonal workers for agriculture.

Things change. You learn to be flexible or you find a new location and hope you can make it home.
