Top 20 Cities for Black Families
The study weighed the rates of infant mortality, high school graduation, median income, home ownership, unemployment, business ownership and several other factors in determining the list.
Only the cities with the largest black populations were studied. Columbus, Ohio Houston Boston Charlotte Indianapolis Los Angeles Washington, D.C. Oakland Philadelphia Nashville/Jacksonville, Fla. Dallas Detroit New Orleans Memphis Cleveland New York Atlanta Chicago/Milwaukee Baltimore St. Louis, Mo From BET.com |
I live in Memphis and I can tell you it's starting to turn into the wild wild west http://216.40.241.68/contrib/ed/BlueFlagEnforcer.gif

I am soooo glad this was posted. I heard it on Doug Banks, but didnt mention all 20 cities. I think this is interestin..

Well, I'm thinking that WASHINGTON, D.C. may need to be taken off of this list enlight of the recent SNIPER SHOOTINGS going on around that area. :eek: :eek: NEW YORK...? :eek: :eek:
I figure that there's no such thing as a "Best City" for ANYONE much less African-Americans. Hey, we've got a LOONEY president who's ready to get us into a NUCLEAR WAR...so NO PLACE is safe. |

Lived in Roxbury, Mattapan, and now Hyde Park Again I ask. What so surpriing about that? |
Just because there's a crackheaded sniper here at the moment doesn't mean its not a good place to live. Like you said no place is safe. If you want to take soemthing off the list, take off Baltimore and Detroit. lol

I wouldn't have put Baltimore on the list and Im B-More born and raised! There are some good things about this city but I dont necessarily agree with it being a good city for African Americans with our deteriorating public school system and how students of HBCU's like Morgan State have to protest, beg and pleed for a decent library when other schools seem to get whatever they want....I could go on and on!:mad: I am also shocked Los Angeles is so high on the list? :confused: With all the drama that goes on there! I lived in LA for 3 years and it was very nice but there were some crazy things happening! |
