In the meantime, there has been nothing but peace and love in the NORTH toward the poor disenfranchised blacks that continues to this day. The tranquility in Northern cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and others are absolute models of how racial tolerance should rule.

"The New York City Draft Riot lasted five days, from Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, 1863. It was, arguably, in terms of loss of human life the most destructive episode of urban civil unrest in American history. The "official" death toll was listed at 119, though many contemporaries conjectured–based on often unsubstantiated and exaggerated reports--that more than a thousand people may have been killed."

"New York's African American population, which numbered more than twelve thousand before the riots, fell to less than ten thousand by 1865, as blacks fled the city in large numbers during and in the aftermath of the riots. Of those who remained, over half moved temporarily to police stations or to the outskirts of the city. Republicans formed aid societies--such as the Merchants' Committee for the Relief of Colored People Suffering from the Late Riots--that distributed food and clothing to poor blacks."

"jestget has a point. Many blacks think in your face racism is easier to resist than the far more subtle Northern variety. Everyone pretends it does not exist, because its illegal."

Charles Evers, Medgar's brother, left MS for Chicago and came back to MS after Medgar was killed. He ran for mayor of Fayette sometime after and became the first black mayor in MS since Reconstruction.
He was asked at some point why he ever returned to MS and he replied that he had discovered people in the North liked blacks as a race but hated them as individuals where people in the South were just the opposite. That kinda backs up your post, Nut.

"Oh, well, all the "evidence" anyone could possibly ask for."

Not just Evers, but lotsa blacks, Doc. It's been going on for a long time and if you'd just get your nose outa HuffPo all the time, you'd see it. I might mention that VA elected the first black governor since reconstruction some time back, SC just elected a black senator...oh, hell, never mind. You're still absolutely convinced that the South consists of millions and millions of racists and that conditions in the North (and CA) are Nirvana to black p[eople. Educator, educate thyself!

"Blacks return to Southern roots"

The 2010 Census shows that 57% of the USA's blacks live in the South, the highest percentage since 60% in 1960, says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution. "They are going to the new Sun Belt cities, economically viable places," he says. "The main states are Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina and the prosperous metropolitan areas, especially the suburbs, within those states."
They're often moving to communities that have not traditionally attracted black people. Within the South, counties with smaller black populations had high rates of black growth, Frey says. The counties with the fastest rates of African-American growth during the past decade were those where blacks previously made up 10% or less of the population."

"Linda Sharpe Haywood, a registered nurse who has worked for several years as a full-time volunteer, moved here from New York with her husband, Darryl Haywood Sr., a retired New York City police detective, in 1999. "There was very little crime," says Haywood, 55, who has family here. "People were very friendly. It was also an economic decision. We were able to buy a house here that we wouldn't have been able to afford in New York."
Her husband, who had become a Florida state trooper, was killed in the line of duty in 2004, and the outpouring of sympathy reinforced her decision to come. "Everyone in the community, black and white, was just extremely helpful and supportive," she says."

"so, now they will change their state flag."

Like Georgia did? LOL...take a look at Georgia's at the link, remove the symbol in the center of the stars and tell me what it is, Itchyro.
