Why Most Black People Live in this Circle

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The Black population of the United States is growing. In 2019, there were 46.8 million people who self-identified as being of Black descent, making up roughly 14% of the country’s population. This marks an almost 30% increase since 2000.

But as much as Black America is growing, it is also starting to coalesce into one area… one region.. one part of the Country. And that is the South. At the start of World War I, African Americans chose to uproot themselves from their longtime homes in the South by the droves. They took a major leap of faith praying that a better life awited them in the “promise land” of the North. But the surging number of Black migrants were met with higher costs of living, overcrowded cities, crime infestation, and the same old racism…just a different location. Now nearly 100 years later, we are seeing a reversal of the Great Migration. Black families, professionals, baby boomers, and college grads are returning to the New South, creating an epicenter of Black Culture & Black Excellence in southern metropolitan areas.

#3 - (removed by YouTube Copyright) After Emancipation, Freedman did not leave the South to stay behind with Loved Ones.

Free Negroes in the South had living relatives and ancestors who had toiled land in the South for a century or more.
This made moving to the North a tough proposition when you had loved ones in the region, whether you were free
or not. Rather than relocating and settling in the North, former enslaved persons remained in slave states because
they considered the South their home. It was where they were born. Where their parents were born. And where
their families and loved ones resided. Many married and maintained strong, family ties with deep roots in the
community and church in the South.
African Americans then and now, have developed attachments to their family & friends in the South… and because
of these strong family ties, moving up north or out west is simply not an option.

As a blk male who's from and on the west coast (Bay Area California), I remember visiting and staying in Atlanta back in 98'. It was the first place where I didn't feel black but just a person. There's something to be said about being amongst the majority!

[Lee-ksen]

I am a native Californian. As is my father. To our knowledge we didn’t have relatives down south. No Big mama. No family reunions. I always felt slighted. Fast forward to 2015, we moved to Houston, Texas. Now my grand daughter is a Texan, as will be the rest of my family. We love it here and have no desire to return to California.

[ArabellaCharm]

Family moved us from Dallas to the NW. Worst mistake ever. Our adolescence was plagued with racism and identity crisis.

[AudaciousLex]

I'm sure some can relate. I'm from the south (ATL) but I love traveling and exploring. I feel the most at peace when I'm on the west coast. It just seems like a more chill vibe. However, I keep moving back home after a year or two away because I miss seeing my black people everywhere. And most importantly the culture. I've yet to find a western state that has the black culture I'm looking for.

I’m from the South. I’m a proud Southern. The South has strong powerful African descent energy. The South is changing fast as Black people are rising in wealth and changing landscape of living.

Growing up in the south (Virginia, Carolinas), I saw the grands and great grands of those who migrated North return to the south.

[patrickjenkins]

Well done. I'm in California. My sister moved to Alabama years ago. Frankly, I was shocked when she relocated. However, it appears that the family, including my niece & nephew are now totally adjusted and comfortable there. 🧑‍🎓👍😎

They were already Black people, here in America. And Slaves were not in the Millions. But Enslaved Africans multiplied, into families, in America.

Born and raised in Los Angeles...we always came to Central Texas for family reunions on both sides...granmas house, big mama and a madea..my other friends didn't have what I had...now I live in Central texas...I thank the south for having family traditions that are just not popular in California

I remember visiting Washington D.C. when I was 18 and I remember people constantly telling me that black people will be moving back to the south. I am now 43 fully understand.

[brich]

I mean this where the ships dropped us off at, the south is where our american roots at. Every black person from america has relatives in the south.

I love the statistical breakdowns and the information used to explain them. This video was refreshing and gives off a sense of hope. Great job our people rock!

[winluvwinluv]

I am from the South but have lived in the North and oversees during my time in the military, but I returned to the South. The weather and cost of living accompanied with the warmth of the people was always a draw for my family and me. The North had even gotten too cold for my husband who is from further North he prefers the weather down South now that we are in our 50's.

[skylovesthe]

They been killing us since we got here and we was forced to be here. Some of my people didn’t choose slavery they rebelled and was killed. However I owe my life to the ones who lived suffered however still reproduced. I thank them all😘🥰

I was born and raised in Detroit. My people are originally from Bessemer and Columbus Alabama and they came to Detroit Michigan during the great migration in the early 1940s where my mom was born. I relocated to Huntsville Alabama in 2012 for work and I’ve been down here ever since. I’ve been trying to get my mom now in her 70’s to relocate back to Alabama but she still hesitant.

[wadatmusik]

Nicevideo for Juneteenth! May the Most High continually bless and restore our people.

[ramyiasilvers]

I live in the Midwest and the south has been calling me! My family originally migrated from north Carolina to Oklahoma. Me and my partner has been thinking about relocating soon.

I am a second generation Chicagoan but my maternal grandparents were from AL and my paternal grandparents were from MS. I currently reside in TX but am considering moving to AL.
