    Or perhaps Blacks are moving there for the same reason they have moved to other places. A perception of where they are moving next has to be better than where they were before. Blacks left the Deep South in large numbers between 1910 and 1970 because of the perception that the north had more opportunities and less prejudice. Today, more Blacks have been moving South because of the perception that it would be better for Blacks(I'm talking about Atlanta). More and more Blacks are moving to Idaho, possibly because it is perceived as more pristine and safe. If I were to move, there, it would be for the beautiful mountains and the plethora of outdoor activities, such as rafting, skiing, sledding, mountain biking,etc. Some Blacks are in Idaho because of the military.

    Of course it will be a more pristine area than where they came from... it's virtually all white. See if that is still the case a few generations after blacks move there in sizable numbers. The same thing has happened in Colorado.

    When I say pristine, I mean clean and nice. I can name a few White areas in Georgia that aren't pristine. I've been to them. And Colorado strikes me as cleaner, safer, and nicer than where I live now. I live in Georgia, in the suburbs of Atlanta. And I can't imagine Colorado is being dangerous.

    I've enjoyed going where I wasn't wanted. I went to a meeting organizing a chapter of the ACLU. Do you have any idea how popular I was in my police uniform.

    And, I signed up for a "Female Sexuality" class int eh "Womens' Study" program. At first the instructor ordered me out, then she had the class vote and she lost, then she simply tried to make it unpleasant for me. I thought it was fun and I met some nice women in the lcass. A few of the others, too, but not many.

    If I'm in a meeting and there's a break and blacks go to one side of the room and whites to the other, I automatically go to the black side. The same is true is the split is old/young, male/female, conservative/socialist, American/Other.

    I suspect some blacks, especially single blacks, move to an white area because they can. Even if the liberals do try to stop them.

    If this is true, then you sound somewhat like me. When I was 11 years old, my parents, siblings and me moved to a suburb about an hour west of Atlanta. At the time it was around 93% White and 4% Black. I went through an initial culture shock, but I figured "When in Rome". I tried to do what some of the other kids were doing. All the kids were into skateboarding. Back in the 90s, it was mainly White kids doing it. I never heard of it until I got out there. I tried to learn. I even asked some people to teach me. I basically got laughed off and rejected. Some of these kids later bullied me, and one of them even shot me with a paintball gun. I wanted to be somewhere that I wasn't wanted.

    On the flip side, a few girls(8th graders, White) saw me as "cute", in sort of a "little brother" sort of way.

    Because they want to live with civilized people and cant do that in non white areas.

    Notice how blacks/libs havent answered the question or their answers just made the non white areas look bad hahaha.
    Society without white people is nothing, except the japanese or south korean who are an example to follow.

    They want the low crime rates and good schools found in majority white neighborhoods. This is why affluent liberals will not live in the ghetto either. Right liberals?
