The latest data from the 2010 Census show how people are moving from place to place within America. In gen eral, people are voting with their feet against places where the liberal, welfare-state policies favored by the intelligentsia are most deeply entrenched.
When you break it down by race and ethnicity, it's painfully clear what's happening. Both whites and blacks are leaving California, the poster state for the liberal, welfare-state and nanny-state philosophy.
Whites are also fleeing the big Northeastern liberal, welfare states like Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as the same kinds of states in the Midwest, such as Michigan, Ohio and Illinois.
The movement of the black population -- especially educated young blacks -- is the most striking.
The massive movements of millions of blacks out of the South in the early 20th century was one of the epic migrations of a people -- comparable in size with the millions of Irish who fled the famine in Ireland in the 1840s or the millions of Jews who fled persecution in Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
More recently, blacks have been moving back to the South, however. While the overall black population of the Northeastern and Midwestern states hasn't declined in the last 10 years, except in Michigan and Illinois, the net rise of the black population nationwide has increasingly been in the South. About half of the growth of the black population took place in the South in the '70s, two-thirds in the '90s and three-quarters in the last 10 years.

It doesn't get any better wherever they move.
We moved here to a rural county of Virginia back in 1992. There was no crime and the schools were actually conservative, very excellent, and everything including every building was paid for.
The leftists, especially the minorities, started flooding here in the late 90's and now we are in debt, and there are start-up gangs all around the county and ALL of them are minority.
They bring their trash with them and then try to blame everybody else for their stupidity and sloth.
How is “Cymfia” doing these days?
Is she getting back into politics anytime soon?
She makes Sheila Jackson Lee look like a Rhodes Scholar.
Yes, most leaving still take their voting habits with them which ultimately will destroy their new home state. Bitterly, ironic.
I really don’t believe they thought OJ was innocent. More like they voted their race.
Good point!
I think you are correct, which is why I’m hopeful for my state now (Michigan). Maybe with the idiots out of the way, we have a chance to fix a couple of things.
The way things are going, pretty soon we will be able to amend the state constitution to make this a right to work state!
For my money, black preachers deserve plenty of the blame. On a typical Sunday morning they are at the pulpit keeping the racial pot boiling, instilling anti-white propaganda, promoting a victim mentality, and pushing dependency on big gvernment.
They aren’t supposed to push candidates in church but most of them do it anyway-—the more liberal the better.
according to the article - it isn’t the “idiots” who are moving away - but the better educated. The workers.
That’s my Low-Low-Low routine. Black business associates I’ve discussed it with seem to get it-—until they realize which part of the political spectrum supports it.
Evidence abounds, but a quick look at their voting data provides instant verification. See DeKalb County, Georgia or Prince George's County, Maryland for two obvious examples.
DeKalb used to be a good, solid Republican county but as the sewage began to ooze out from ghetto Atlanta, DeKalb was overrun and people who wish to avoid crime, racism, ghettos, etc. now have to more even further out. It won't be long before the good suburbs of Atlanta reach to the Alabama or Tennessee borders, if they don't already. They already reach well into the formerly rural hinterlands such as Dawsonville.
The whole ring of counties around Fulton (Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, Clayton) may be technically "suburban" but all but a few small parts of them are every bit as bad - actually WORSE - than the inner city from whence their new residents came.
I’ll ask you the same question I asked Fromoccupiedga:
What is Cymfia up to these days? Is here twisted daddy still around to stir the Shiite?
Now in Tampa, I’m formerly from May-retta.
Well, we can work with that if somebody doesn’t organize them and tell them what to think. Hopefully they will be forgotten.
Hank once worried that adding a navy base to one of the Pacific islands would “tip it over.”
And he was the smart one elected to take the place of
Stupid Cynthia McKinny.
That would be Guam.
I've landed on Guam several times, and even though I'm a really big guy it didn't even tremble.
I’ve seen it before. People move to get away from high taxes and restrictive government policies and then try to implement the same policies in the new location.
I'm pretty big, too. When I visit Guam I never put my full weight down on the ground because I don't want to tip it over.
As a native Texan, I can say that the new Florida is going to give my birth state a run for its money.
Conservative businessman, first time office holder as Governor
Conservative Attorney General - first time office holder
Senate with 28 to 12 Republican majority
House with 81 - 39 Republican majority
Gov. Just signed the teacher accountability bill, ending tenure for new teachers and putting the rest on record that the unions will not be able to protect the bad teachers.
House just passed a bill ending several union auto deductions and opt out provisions to include whether their dues can be used for political contributions.
“but take their liberal voting habits with them.”
Here in SC conservatives took all state-wide offices.
The state also sent a black conservative to congress named Tim Scott.
So the liberal infection didn’t take hold here. If anything, that commie nitwit James Clyborn and his gang of idiot suporters are more isolated now than ever. Watch the state take him out in 2012.
McKinney - one of Georgia’s more visible embarassments. Fortunately for all of us she’s officially off in the far left fringe and has left Georgia behind. Hank Johnson took her old district. He was county commission chairman prior to that, so the people who voted for him know what he’s like. He isn’t much of an improvement over McKinney if any. Yet the voters in his district elected him with a confortable margin which tells me that he thinks and acts pretty my the same way they do. which tells me a lot about the people (mostly black) who live in metro DeKalb county.
