Since the 1970's, the Yankee Nation has seen a monumental societal change. Many Black families are migrating to the South. This movement of people is in direct opposition to decades of traffic going the other way.
The bad news for the Yankees is that the majority of Blacks fleeing the harsh environment of their own country are college-educated (50.5%). Those with less education tend to stay on the Yankee Plantation. The chief reason for this dynamic is that the South offers much more employment opportunities for the educated than it does for the uneducated. Does Barry Soetro know that there is a "brain drain" going on in his country?
Many Blacks who migrated North in the first half of the 20th Century chose their destinations according to where they had access via local railroads and where other family members and friends had migrated before them. Dwayne Walls, in Chickenbone Special, recounted an old quote about the Black residents of a rural community in North Carolina" "These people know only three palces to go: Heaven, Hell, and Baltimore."
Some of the migrants returning South follow the same paths their ancestors had carved out when they moved North. But not all Blacks are returning home. Most were actually born in the North and, consequently are heading for rapidly growing metropolitan centers.
The Black migration has resulted (for us in the South) in an increase in direct proportion to the overall Black population in the Yankee Nation. Our problem is not the Blacks moving Southward; it's the non-Black population moving here.
The non-Black migration (read "White") is the largest change agent for Southern culture. Those Yankees are bringing with them their strange tastes in food, their off-the-wall ideas about social paradigms, their strange political ideations, their insufferable accents and their offensive tastes in music. It would be much better if Barry were to encourage them to stay in the North and to encourage all the Copperheads to come here in their place.
