Why Not Move South?
By barefooted on Sun, 07/09/2017 - 11:54am |In 2014, the top states that black millennial migrants moved to were Texas, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. California remained the only state among the top five outside the South. The pattern is different for their white counterparts.
A report released last year by the New York City comptroller, Scott Stringer, found that between 2000 and 2014 about 61 percent of millennials moving to New York were white, while only 9 percent of 18- to 29-year olds moving into the city were black.

This is hugely anecdotal, but my last few trips to the South, it felt like a large number of blacks I met were "woke", to use a worn trending term - still the friendly how-ya-doin stuff, but much more inclined to talk business or issues, in a confident eager way. I'd imagine if significant this isn't limited to the South. Wilt Chamberlain went with white girls because he didn't see any others. Black millenial professionals will largely see other professionals. Things are changing. Now I'd find the South boring anyway, but it still depends on which city and what you like doing. There are a lot more kinds of bubbles than there used to be, and bubbles can make a good home.

The dynamic that drives blacks to Atlanta is the same dynamic that drains small towns. As a professional you find energy and the environment to constantly improve your skills in Atlanta. Your colleagues force you to remain updated. You can renew your professional license by answering a test in a book out in the boondocks. In the urban setting, you had better be up to date in your own practice by how you treat patients as opposed to just updating from a book. Physicians have contact with black subspecialists attuned to their black patients.

I thought everybody knew all this already, silly me.

Know-it-all. Now drink your latte in silence, please!
[PS - still chuckling over "does it bother you when your brother calls you stupid?"]

Black. Coffee, that is. No latte in da Bronx (well okay, I'll admit to some gentrification, 1-yr old Starbucks is 10 blocks away, and we are hoping for more!)
On the P.S.: Well geez, c'mon, lookit this photo, that's the she-devil mom of all times:

Why she's not in more movies, can't say. But look, I drink turkish coffee as well, but if you're gonna play the muse frim the Bronx, have to raise your game, at least pretend some elitist coffee brew. How the hell do you promote art this way? "Little ol lady in Kingsbridge who works hard"? Hillary tried that - dead end. Image it.
