Best city in the USA for Black Folks

[blakfyahking]

As far as DC, If you dont have family here idk why you would live here lol

Niggas get sidetracked by being able to say i make __ a yr, but when you do the math based on the fact you pay ___ a yr in cost of living, its a wash

Thats a lil harsh, a lot of great attributes, still top 5 for niggas, but financially u not doin as much as you think you are unless u got a in (like me, the plug)

And 'DC' DOES refer to northern VA and Maryland as well (not Baltimore. Baltimore is NOT part of the "DMV")

Ain't you from out VA? There's a difference in living actually in the city vs PG or NOVA. Not only in prices but overall quality of living and convenience to being able to move around with or without owning a car which is 10x harder to do if you live too far into PG or VA away from the city line. And that DMV shit is corny. Its for out of owners so they don't get lost and VA niggas who live out there to try and claim it. People actually from here just say what part of the city or PG they're from. Never forget the time I ran into some niggas from out Dale City talking about "We the real DC" lol.

preach at the bolded!

everytime I read or hear somebody talking that DMV label I cringe

I don't know who made it acceptable to just try to merge 3 different areas like that.............I kinda of washed my hands of claiming my city now since the boundaries/rules have obviously changed

I think I'm gon start claiming Miami again cuz of all these extra mofos trying to relate to DC niggaz

the fact that there are white girls jogging down the street at 10pm in SE has added to my stress as well SMH

Man I'm still mad you can't even go to Horace & Dickies now without getting a damn ticket because you can only park on 12th street now if you got a sticker that says you can park in that zone. Lmao at the white folks comment though. Yeah I see that shit but when I'm on the southside I'm usually either off over MLK where my brother lives or down on V St just kicking it with my folks and ain't no white folks strolling through there without a purpose lol. Speaking of which when the fuck are they gonna finish that Popeyes at the top of the hill on MLK? Seems like it's been under construction for over a year now.

bruh just a couple days ago I hit up Johnny's and got some ribs (which I rarely ever do)

I saw some white chick jogging on Southern ave.....shit blew my mufuggin mind

I still have to adjust when I see how much the city has changed every time I chill somewhere...........East Capitol street looks totally different from when I was kid........they have nerve to replace project duplexes with some $300K+ condos and pipehead mofos still walking around there at night like zombies SMH

They ain't even got that trolly going on H St yet lol....but yeah the whole city is changing up. Hell I still remember when there wasn't shit on the other side of Union Station but that empty ass lot where all those homeless people used to sit around all day across the street from the Grey Hound. Then they put that Kaiser over there and then all those office buildings buildings over there. Shit looks like night ad day from 10 years ago

NYC.. But I'm biased...

Niggaz in ny pay $1500 a month for studio apt with no parking space

 

[The Prime Minister]

I like it in Denver. Unemployment is 4.2%, the mayor is Black, the chief of police is Black, and weed legal.

What else could a nigga want?

 

[Like Water]

Columbus, OH is cool. Dallas is where I'd like to end up though. I've been numerous times and loved it each time.

Bruh I just dont ever see myself staying in Dallas. My family loves it but those white people are off the chain there. They still want you in South Dallas or in the little sliver of North Dallas. They are passing racist laws to keep minorities out of their areas.

I have family that has stayed in the Dallas area since the 1970s. My grandfather owned land in Forth Worth since the 1960s. The only thing I like about Dallas is the ease of finding a good job and well............Dallas has everything you would want. It is a major metro. Cheap housing but high property tax. No income tax but ..............tolls everywhere and little property plots.

If you are from some small town or midsize city ie: OKC, Shreveport, Little Rock, Tulsa. Dallas is for you. Coming from a bigger city ie, Memphis, KC, StLouis, Detroit. Go to Houston or ATL.

North Dallas is where my dude lives. He's from the South part but moved when he got out of the AF. I'm from Cleveland and Dallas just reminded me of a southern version of it.

warm weather year round.

 

[bkkbully]

Do not come to nyc unless you have a hustlers mentality

lol nigga please. I'm sure those cracker ass hipsters in Brooklyn sipping a free range organic gluten free latte don't have hustler mentalities.

Oh wait, they flipped the entire city from y'all and gentrified it. Guess you're right. SMH NYC you lost

 

[tearjerker]

Sanford, FL is pretty strtaight

 

[A Talented One]

OK, but the real question should be which ones are best for socially conscious white chicks that love socially conscious brothers?

J/K

Really, j/k.

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

In terms of what? I read an article saying Chicago/atlanta/dc/ny

Charlotte North Carolina..

Charlotte has a black Police Chief

Nice houses in good neighborhoods for the low

Only cold 2 maybe 3 months out the year

Lots of business opportunities

Atlanta 3 hours away

Different beaches 3 hours away

Wide variety of women- Black, Spanish, Asian, white if that's what you're into..

Decent night life- its a college city- lots of bars and clubs

Interstate 485 is 70 mph now

Gas on Carowinds blvd. is 1.68 a gallon..

Late night breakfast spots be jumpin'

@Cain what you know about Skyland's breakfast on some late night drunk shit,

or "food truck Fridays" Uptown in the summer time..

What does is the i.t. scene like? I'm trying to move out of Dallas in next few years.

 

[texas409]

Fuck what you heard...Atlanta still the truth for Black people.

Im from Texas but Atl is my second home closest thing to an African nation on US soil lol

 

[texas409]

I live in Austin bruh this a cracka paradise but there are no niggas to be seen

I went for the relays in 2010 and met many of black folks from there

Ain't you from out VA? There's a difference in living actually in the city vs PG or NOVA. Not only in prices but overall quality of living and convenience to being able to move around with or without owning a car which is 10x harder to do if you live too far into PG or VA away from the city line. And that DMV shit is corny. Its for out of owners so they don't get lost and VA niggas who live out there to try and claim it. People actually from here just say what part of the city or PG they're from. Never forget the time I ran into some niggas from out Dale City talking about "We the real DC" lol.

Lol @ Dale city

Im from VA, live in DC, work in PG.

And DC niggas the only one who STILL care about that claiming DC shit. No one gives af champ. This aint high school. Niggas are adults, we not arguing over wearing Shooters, Solbiato, and the implied street cred of sayin 'im from DC' anymore.

In the context of real estate, DC = 'DMV'

And yes DMV is corny and new, but DMV also just means metropolitan DC area.

Also, anyone not from the area wondering: you're not getting any real estate in D.C. Good luck, but not likely unless u want a lil condo.

Bc cats like @blackrain who bleed day 1 DC, when they grow up and get that DC metro area money? They move...to VA or MD

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Hows public transportation in Charlotte? Non IT or finance jobs? Diversity of black population? How long are bars/clubs open? Police brutality? @illedout

They're building a MARTA type system here right now. Eventually its going to wrap around the city right now its they're going to make it go straight through the city to the north end to south end. A trolley system is being built to wrap around uptown. Diversity is what make the city great tbh and far as jobs go they have huge medical field here multiple hospitals to work in. Big marketing firms here to

Police??? Im a young blacc male

 

[S2J]

I go to Charlotte every year for St Pats day.

Very intersting to see 2014 vs 2015 the change in number of niggas. Good mix

My homie was a manager at a club in Greensboro (NC A&T), a hour from Charlotte

He quit bc the numbers were slimming down

Basically now the A&T crowd when they graduate are moving to Charlotte.

I live near Charlotte and my job is based there. I was all about Atlanta when I was younger(I'm from Georgia) Charlotte is the perfect pace man. Big city feel but not as congested as Atlanta. I hate seeing construction but I love seeing cities building shit. It also don't hurt seeing the Panthers winning and being able to go to the bars to trip out with the fans. This is my first NFL city and I loooove being at the tailgates! Saints at Panthers was the goat tailgate. I got all kinds of bbq and low shit made by New Orleans ass people lol. Chief Putney is cool as hell lol. 485 has been a Godsend man, love that shit. I haven't been to food truck Friday yet but I want to go. My favorite part of Charlotte to hang in right now is Southend. They got some bad ass chicks out there lol.
