Reverse Migration Trend Continues As Black Residents Leave Big Cities
Vložit

- The trend of Black residents relocating from major northern and western cities to the suburbs or to the South has accelerated over the past decade.
In 1980, about 40% of Chicago’s population was Black and as of 2020, the Black community only accounts for 29% of Chicago’s residents. This shrinkage stands in contrast to the Black people who surged into the city during the Great Migration.
Former Chicago residents have cited crime, an increased cost of living, policing unfavorable to Black communities and systemic racism as their rationale for relocating.
Marcia Chatelain, professor of history and African American studies at Georgetown University, joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss.
All this and more on “Prime.”

I'm in Brazil LIVING MY BEST LIFE EVER!!! LEAVE, BE HAPPY!!
ADOS needs to reclaim and rediscover the South.
Africa is our only hope, we should move back there
@@jayomnisen1210 While they are trying to get in here in waves
@@victorthomas7667 Yes we getting in there in ways. But we not coming there to make a new home even when we gain citizen. Just for the $ to invest at home
@@wanjepeter when black people are moving in mass to the south they are leaving the brothers in west and south so that historical black neighborhoods are dieng out from Compton to south Chicago to Detroit to New York to DC to Atlanta. And this process is not stopping in the south.
Look at black census in Atlanta 20 years ago and now Many black residents of Atlanta have left the city for other places.
Too late bro....the latinos, carribean and africans have claimed the south
Hoping that the black people moving out to other towns are not going there to look for jobs again instead of looking at ways to start their businesses in new towns.
The East and West Coast has lost it's soul. It is even getting bad in Phoenix, Arizona. It is too expensive, regulated, and greedy. These cities got out of hand with not just gentification but bringing in foreigner money which has lead to increase of real estate in these major cities. When you make things too expensive you increase crime and also homelessness.
The South is the heart of Black American culture which is why there is a renassiance in these areas. Black Americans need to know their value they can easily build their own development homes for their communities.
Thank you. The East and west coast have catered to immigrants over the last 30 years. People have gotten tired over it and moved back down south
Also, I do realize that the negative changes in our culture are driven by outside forces (White supremacy) but it doesn't appear that we are willing to do anything to correct the situation, as everyone wants to be "cool" and popular. We should've taken a stand decades ago but even Farrakhan remained silent (to a larger extent). I specifically remember the NOI mentioned in several "gansta rap" songs and NOT a word against this trend in our culture! Our people have been programmed and with this continuing via social media, I don't see it changing anytime soon (we don't even read) so the "grooming" of thugs and strippers will continue.
@@DonOneDetroit there needs to be a huge cultural shift in our community. We have to make being socially conscious “cool” again. Reading and constantly studying our conditions around us. You couldn’t get in the Black Panther organization until you finished required readings! There’s not gonna be much revolutionary change unless there’s a collective shift in thinking.
@@sashao.1534 I agree but Black people DON'T read, especially the youth (particularly nowadays) -- not counting textbooks. One of my son's first non-fictional books was the Autobiography of Malcolm X, which I forced him to read but that was probably the last book that he's read. Reading is following the path of cursive writing and will be defunct soon. Yes, during the beginning, in order to be a Panther you had to go through training (during the Fred Hampton days), however toward the end anyone could join -- all you needed was a gun. Unfortunately, we will continue to embrace our demise, without understanding that the Devil doesn't wear horns carrying a pitchfork, he knows your weakness/soft spots and seizes upon those to draw you in. Is rap music single-handedly the cause, no, of course not but any group that promotes/celebrates such dysfunctional behavior is destined for trouble (so if nothing else it was a sign that was ignored)?!? Calling each other "Nigga" is definitely dysfunctional, what other demographic on the planet debases their women and greets one another with an insult?!? BTW, there is a reason why they call it radio and TV programs because it does just that -- programs certain behavior. I don't understand why we celebrate people like Jay-Z and 50-cent as they were DRUG DEALERS (government workers), putting in work for "The Company"!
@@DonOneDetroit
I don't disagree with any of this. Unfortunately our people underestimate the importance of k-6 education. If you don't establish the proper paradigm by 12 it's incredibly hard to change later.
Yea it's called gentrification....especially those moved to outskirts
Been in the burbs for 20 years! Only way I'd back to a city is if I was rich or a specific employment opportunity!
I get it. I’m fed up with living in the city too. COVID, protests, crime, lack of accountability.
Can you also talk about the #blaxit
??? which is black people in the community relocating and moving abroad and leaving the US for good I would love to hear peoples opinions on it
Interesting. Are there specific countries they are moving to?
@@msg4141 Ghana is one. Also Panama City and Costa Rica.
No one wants to talk about that on a broad sense as is highlights a life that is based less on fear due to skin color. Moving abroad is statistically safer for black people. The Americans of color don't want to give up on something they have been fighting their whole lives for. But with that no one wants to talk about why fight? Why live as a presumably lesser individual? With that said, no other nation wants a larger American base in their country so there will always be an issue on some extent.
@@leroirobinson-grant5885 Most people don't leave their homeland until things hit rock bottom, mainly because of the fear of uncertainty. Our community is so used to suffering that we've been conditioned to accept things the way they are -- all we do is "belly ache" but still NO actionable plan. Also, any other country that we tend to move to are not very stable and who wants to deal with a coup every 5-7years.
@@DonOneDetroit where do people you know move to?! Ghana, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, etc aren't, "not very stable" anytime soon. The, "actionable plans" are continuously made but never adopted by America nor those that are selected to do the will of the people. The minority opinion doesn't matter until an election or until they become the majority.
It's amazing how all those cities are run by democrats who are mostly Black people vote for. The high cost of living and gentrification are democratic policies are Black people being aware of the reason why they are really moving.
Issues discussed here are housing issues. The answer is we need to build more housing while aligning pro development policies with tenant protections and subsidies and smart thoughtful urban planning. A lot of places in the US make it illegal and hard to increase the housing supply, we need to correct that and move away from car dependent urban sprawl that have policies that subsidies single family housing. We should look also to alternatives ways to have everyone have the ability to build equity, for example, housing co ops. This is what we must do primarily amongst other things.
If we were capable of doing this then we probably would've done it in the cities where we've lived for the past 80-years but all we did is sell out to the highest bidder. We are plagued with "anti-intellectualism" and consumerism.
@@DonOneDetroit
Unfortunately this is true.
Our cities should also be inspired by Afrocentric architecture.
Very apparent in NY
Just watch out for Floridian drivers, they’re the worst I’ve ever seen. Well, most in my experience.
Don't move to Florida to live, play maybe but to settle, hell no!
In order to stop gentrification!! Democrats must put new laws in place to regulate the market so that gentrification won’t happen
How about let ppl do whatever they want. Now you want regulate where ppl can live. What’s next? Let’s regulate what their allowed to eat?
I love old architecture of all kinds. Twenty years ago i made a wrong turn on a street in Cincinnati and was stunned to see once beautiful buildings frozeen in time. Ornate doors and windows, even the advertising signs rusting, rotting where they had been placed 60 years earlier. All appeared to have been untouched by human hand. Yet the sidewalks, the steps, the streets were filled with people going about their business. Some people would rather watch it rot than for you to have it.
Dude urban gentrification is already DONE and the only areas that are left are the geographically undesirable areas (too far from downtown). FYI, it started back in the late 1990s so they've already gobbled up the property in the areas that they want. Guess what's next, given that remote work is commonplace, they will seek out the areas in the suburbs, now that the "hipsters" are approaching their late-30s and realize that the quality of life in the inner-city SUCKS (no land and privacy for one)?!? BTW, there is NO MORE flipping houses as a primary business for black people, is already a DONE DEAL!
Building more affordable housing is the answer.
@@DonOneDetroit but there is things that blacks can do against it by supporting black owned business by investing in property by not selling their homes by fighting against housing discrimination and gentrification with demonstration getting in the politic or Trieng a new way leaving the democrats once for all who are mainly responsible for the gentrification in the urban areas which are there strong holder’s
Really interested in hearing about the black Caribbean populations of the east coast
who don't have roots in the south. Where do they migrate? Many of whom don't identify
as African American. Their American experience is truly rooted up north..
Many are moving to NJ suburbs, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Atlanta, Texas and Florida for the most part..some of the older pepple are moving back to the Caribbean. Also by second generation, most Caribbean descent people just merge into "African American".
@@akil2746 Thanks! Ok, Florida makes sense. Being from the south, I was always curious about this. Also, I had no idea that by the second generation they identified as AA..with Caribbean roots of course
@@JRTexx Yes, by the time they become grandchildren and great grandchildren of Caribbean immigrants, the great connection to the Caribbean is lost. UNLESS their parents or grandparents made an effort to maintain that. There are some people who are descendants of Caribbean people who migrated to Harlem in the 1920's and before who just identify as African American.
Many are moving to Florida, and Georgia and to a lesser extent Texas.
@@sana-if7rb Interesting. I was born and raised in Houston. Why do you think Carribeans or Puerto Ricans for that matter, don't seem to migrate Texas in mass as in other parts of the US?
They eventually woke up. The democrats took you for granted
You’re going to see more black cities expand there city limits to the suburbs to keep political black power !! Atlanta for example!!
You mean Their?
Atlanta has always had a hard time with conservative suburbs, Cobb County for example, holding the city back based on how the local laws are
I don't see it...Buckhead is already trying to leave. I don't expect that Smyrna and Roswell would want to be part of the Atlanta proper. Also, there will be an exodus from the city by the hipsters as they get older and realize that the inner-city is not good for raising families. Living in the city is cool while you're young but once you have kids, not so much. The problem is that the prices that were driven up during gentrification will remain SKY High! The main driver for the influx of pilgrims was the access to the existing infrastructure of cities and the better work/life balance with a much shorter commute -- however, now everyone will be working remotely. This will cause a 2nd wave and push black people further out to rural areas.
@JaVion Riley
It’s not necessarily about political power…they would want to expand the districts so they can expand the tax base.
@@fspight28
Cobb county is 30% black and 55% white. There’s a lot of minorities in Cobb country.
What population is replacing the blacks that are leaving?
South americans and asians.
@@sana-if7rbGood!
My step dad doesn't like my kind 😂😂😂😂
New Orleans only on here due to Hurricanes. Memphis on here due to high violent crime. And why is Houston on there they didn’t lose more than they’re gaining. Besides a lot of blacks are moving to the Houston area especially suburbs.
Houston is becoming a Black Mecca
vinny schtumann is a foreign troll. Possibly a bot.
Yeah “white” discrimination huh? The United States has done nothing but bend over and cater to the lowered tiered immigrant thrals of Europe for hundreds of years while doing nothing to protect the former slaves from their systemic brutalization.
Very rude message by her name up at the end
Blah, Blah, Blah!
You're using too many words to say
that
Black working class can't afford
$2000 one bedroom apartments
Well, that's kinda the point right?! You can regulate where people live by just making it too expensive.
Can u give us comparisons with other groups. The blacks seem to be leaving the liberal cities or am I missing something.
Most cities are Liberal. Most Black people are liberal. They're leaving the cities most likely due to the cost of living. I've had about ten family members leave New York City because it's too expensive to live here.
Nope. They’re escaping liberal politics. That’s why Illinois, California (where i live) and New York are losing 1 million people per year, and Texas, Florida(where I’m from), and Tennessee are GAINING 1 million new residents per year over the last 5 years. Problem is those same liberal people will continue to vote the same, and flip the states into the same bullshit they were running away from. Liberal politics DO NOT WORK and even liberals know it but are too brainwashed to vote differently.
@@shabazz360 and yet Clinton produced 30 million jobs in his 8 years in office more so than Reagan. No way in the world are those states loosing 1 million people per year. I don't but that.
@@turntableone4356 you don’t have to buy anything. Google it. Simple. Furthermore, what In Gods name does what Bill Clinton did in 1996 have to do with now 😐 ? “Y’all” tend to do that a lot. Bill Clinton also erased much of his own progress when he repealed the Glass-Steagall act which led to the housing crash that Bush took 100% of the credit for since you wanna live in the past so bad LOL.
This is 2021 man get with the times. Liberal policies in 2021 don’t work and people are rushing to get the fuck out of liberal politic ran cities. This is fact sir.
@@shabazz360 And Trump was a success and Bush was a success in other words? And why didn't Bush review that policy that Clinton repealed called the Glass-Steagall Act? Does he not have advisors paid 6-figure salaries that can give him advice? Clinton created 30 million jobs and has the best record of any president economy period.
Why do they keep talking about blacks and whites in these conversations. What's about Hispanics, what is happening there. ??
Nobody cares. Immigrants have reduced our standard of living to increase theirs. Bye!
Let's talk about. How are the Latino community advertising for equality for all or is it on average black issues are not the communities concern?
If you're moving to better yourself, do just that.
Please do not take your bad habits with you.
Yea it’s happening but all the doing is fucking up the nice neighborhoods we moving to fucking shame
Huh?
This person ain’t black
@@mrkjsmooth16 Naw, he has a point, I'm black, from Detroit, and attended both Morehouse and Howard. I have to say that he is unfortunately correct. I was in Atlanta right as the migration started and saw the entire city start changing for the worse. Once I saw all the Michigan license plates, I knew that it was time to get "outta Dodge". Mark my words, the ATL is going to be the NEW Detroit within the next 5-7 years and they don't have any real jobs down there. We need to rid ourselves of that "loser" culture that makes everyone think that being a "Thug/Felon" or a "Stripper" is the norm. I live in the DC-metro area and once gentrification took place, ALL the crime that was once in Southeast DC is now in PG county. Now the schools in DC are improving and all this new development is going on now but to live there you need to be a millionaire (I know that this is because of "white flight" but we gotta do better as a people). Wherever you GO there you ARE!
@@DonOneDetroit I'm from NoVa and I understand what you're saying. There is a contingent amongst us who are addict to room temperature lifestyles. For which I say, Thin the Herd!
@@mrkjsmooth16 what person isn't black?
Hope black people don't start rocking up to my suburb. Twenty years and it will be like Detroit.
I’s bee hopesin the sane thin!
mark petty
Your suburb?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Detroit was never a suburb! Although it sure did make Ann Arbor, and Pontiac, and Plymouth white destinations.
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION IS ALSO ON THE RISE!!
The fuck are you talking about stop saying stupid shit
It's not reverse discrimination, it's plain and simple....DISCRIMINATION.
There is no such thing as reverse racism. WTF
@@Black_unity597 Thank you.
The way this was not germane to the topic at hand
Hoping that the black people moving out to other towns are not going there to look for jobs again instead of looking at ways to start their businesses in new towns.
