The only Nigerian immigrant that I know sees no value in either Jesse Jackson or President Obama, other than being a ‘brother’. I don’t know how he votes, but he sure knocks me to the floor when he makes fun of them.
By the way, both of his kids are doctors now.
Can anyone tell me the cause of just why they would want to leave the northern cities? /s
The cities didn’t fail them.....
I don’t think it’s only blacks who are moving to the South. Most of my family left Connecticut and moved to Florida over the last four years. A lot of people I grew up with have also moved to Florida and South Carolina over the years. I can’t say I blame them with the way this state keeps deteriorating. I will be right behind them when my youngest graduates high school in 3 years.
They certainly exist, as do the “white trash” and “illegal enclave”, AKA high crime areas, or bad parts of town.
We all prefer to live among our peers, don't we?
In the south, a foul mouthed child can still expect to be told to “shut your mouth” by an adult of any and every race.
The still expected response is a subdued "yes mam,I'm sorry" or "yes sir,I'm sorry.
This is so true. The black people I know who are from Ghana, Uganda, or the Congo think quite differently from many blacks with whom I grew up in MS. The Africans are very much about working hard to make something of themselves, or build a business, or just raise their children to have a good life, and not blame anyone else if setbacks occur.
Locusts have similar behavior don’t they?
I hope you pointed out to him WHY there is opportunity in Texas and invited this person to "Vote for more of what you came for" and stop feeding the Lefties.
Guy was a Republican - good thing as this county is about 98% Republican. Most Republican county per capita in this state.
The disintegration of the Black culture came with three developments: the outmigration of jobs from inner city industrial areas; residential de facto segregation which prevented Blacks from following the jobs; and government dependency-inducing welfare entitlemnts to keep unemployed Blacks stalled in a subsistence economy where crime was a rational choice.
I know.I wont hire a demorat so they can keep on moving.
Does anyone know if the government is helping people buy houses in some kind of “section 8” program?
And are they renting out foreclosures?
A retiree from Manhattan recently relocated to our area outside of Houston. He came here looking for work and safety and was hired as a produce associate at his first interview. He’s happy to be in Texas and can’t get over our friendliness.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. It probably falls under 0's "redistribution" plan.
“He’s happy to be in Texas and can’t get over our friendliness.”
Jobs are here. An entry level job will get them working fairly quickly and making money and they will get into the field best for them within time. Austin has turned into an electronic center for jobs in that field.
Cities are giving companies tax breaks when they move into their area and this is a right to work state, don’t have to join a union to get a job. Texas tries to make it easy for businesses to thrive here. Medical jobs are in every city but Houston is the center for medical jobs. One trip into the Houston Medical Center proves that.
When we had to go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in that area for surgery for husband, we stayed at the hotel owned by MD Anderson and it was filled with people from foreign countries coming there for treatment. We were definitely in the minority in that hotel. Felt like we were in a foreign country with these people in their traditional country clothes. All of us were there due to cancer and those of us who were with cancer patients helped any patient there who needed help moving around. Cancer can make people friends no matter where they come from.
Speaks volumes about how racial attitudes have changed in the South.
I would love to see blacks get their act together and thrive down here.
Walls around the ghettos? Armed guards trapping "many blacks" in them?
Your environment is what you and your neighbors make it.
Does this author not understand that a city in and of itself cannot “fail” its population. That population votes in the government it deserves. This migration will only spread the cultural rot inherent in large cities.
More and more criminal gang activity is occurring in rural America:
