Tech Industry Fuels Reverse Migration For Black Americans | NBC Nightly News
I’m happy for him but that’s not a tech company.
this is incredible we need more black entrepreneurship!
This is great. I love to see stories like this that promote black entrepreneurs who are making things happen. However I cannot help but to admit that the brother having basically sold his business to Proctor and Gamble essentially means that he no longer calls the shots which is somewhat a shame when it's all said and done.
Blacks moved to the west coast too for shipping yard and aircraft factory jobs!! I hearing this!! It’s good news💪🏾
I love my black American people
Keep going .,,keep growing #messages from our ancestors
"I LOVE MY CITY" ATLANTA IS ONE OF THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
instablaster...
My family is from Aliceville as well
Amen! 🙏🏾
Awesome, impressive, proud to see such a positive motivated Powerful Black Men & Women in the world of technology. And powerful Black building such a strong successful career for his family and others.STRONG POWERFUL SUCCESSFUL BLACK MINDS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Good start, but I was thinking a little further east
nice content
I wouldn't like to be CZcams friends
Good on this brutha for his business, but as a consumer, my concern is that health and beauty products be cruelty free.
Previous month I managed to withdraw my first five figure income ever!!! I've been working for this company on the web for twenty four months now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about it is the fact I am not that tech-savvy, they just required basic insight into internet and elementary typing skill...Great thing about this gig is that I have more time to spend with my family. I am able to spend quality time with my relatives and buddies and look after my babies and also going on family holiday along with them very frequently. Don't miss this opportunity and make sure to respond fast. Let me show you what I do... *revenue39.com*
@@HelenGPitts if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...
Closing my eyes listening to this brother I could've sworn I was listening to Vlad
Couldn’t pay me to live in ATL…
Nice
What about the non-tech folks in Atlanta though? All these tech-fueled fast-growth cities are great if you have a good job, and high income. But the South & many other states have widespread minimum wage jobs, poor labor & environmental protections, underfunded public schools & hospitals, etc. With or without kids, you still live among all those other people, and their issues quickly become *your* issues, when the economy goes down or you see a public health crisis. Making a good living for yourself is fine, but the local society around you also needs to be fairly healthy & economically stable, otherwise you find yourself on the wrong end of the torch-and-pitchfork brigade.
Amazon warehouses are non-tech for the most part.
They should get job training because there are still high paying non-tech jobs out there. And once they earn that money, they need to stack it and invest it so it pays them and they won't be in that position again.
The cost of living in other States is a big factor people are fleeing high tax states like California plus the south is a good place to live
Except the public schools in the South aren't great either. At least in NY & SF, depending on where you live, you can afford to get your kids into a better district. Although maybe if the cost of living is low, he'll just take his P&G money and put his kids in private school.
@@mandisaw there are good schools in the south the best one are charter or private schools but they do exsit especially in the area he's moving to
@@oscarwalton1188 But you have to pay for private school, or pass some kind of admission screening for elite charters. My point wasn't that there are no good schools, it was that the schools most kids attend (public school) are not great.
@@mandisaw There are a lot of great public schools especially in suburban Atlanta
I love this
Black Excellence
Good for him because a lot of our Whtie sisters and Whtie brothers don't wanna see us succeed unfortunately. God is in control people. All my Blacks keep pushing forward and working hard towards success
White liberals you mean.
Where is this happening in 2020? Black Americans can righfully/legally live anywhere they want in their country, the U.S.A.
That’s not the point 🤦🏾♂️. The point is that African Americans are CHOOSING to move back to the South because it’s way more affordable, they have familial and historical ties there, race relations are a lot better, the Southern economies are increasingly growing, and jobs and quality of life are much harder to come by in the North and parts of the West.
@@WC-we2cr plus there is strength in numbers, the state or even the county can now focus on the specific needs of the black community if there are more black tax payers in that voting block.
@@WC-we2cr Well off blacks are moving. Not the average.
How is what he’s doing making it a tech company?
But this wasn't African-Americans this was indigenous Aborigines AKA copper Indians that migrated
@ThirdeyeStrike dude if you don't know real history look up copper indigenous Aboriginal. Look up Dane Calloway
Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, and Houston are some of the worst cities to live in. The crime rate is high, the cost of housing is expensive, low wage jobs, Jim Crow Jr policies are coming back, and a lot of Black folks are struggling financially down south
Really!!? What Jim Crow policies have been passed?
Not for affluent productive Black American.
What about New York seattle or San hose california
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is so 1996
Huh? Its relevant
Bs. Black people didn't leave the south entirely. Many of us stayed. That's why some of these northern and western states have such a small population.
NOOOOOO
I love how biased this is. It’s only the well off financial blacks that are leaving. Not the average.
Remember: Whites are Germans, Russian, Italian,Polish,Irish, British, Swedish,Finish,French,Ukraine there's more but under one banner. Then there's us and Africans and others don't ride they just try and benefit. So that number is not bad wish it could be better.
So Blacks eat Bats too. My channel video #4 proves it on Netflix: Coronavirus explained
