> inflaming racial tension was the centerpiece of Trump's campaign action is greater for that group, so I thought it worth notice. So yes, to be fair, it's not just white "champions of diversity" moving to less diverse places. The study shows that whites regardless of their views on immigration/diversity, starting out from more diverse places, tend to move to whiter places compared to nonwhites starting from the same places. > it in fact states that positions on diversity play little to no role in where people actually live In contrast, Mississippi, which isn't even a place people associate with the economic drivers of the New South, went from 36.3% black to 37.8% black in the same timeframe (out of a population increase of a mere 100k in the state). In absolute numbers, yes (because the state grew a lot), but in proportion, it went from 6.7% black in 2000 to 6.5% in the 2022 estimates. > California's black population in 2022 is larger than it was in 2000. I'd imagine there's been even more from 2020 till now, considering recent movement patterns. From net migration, West as a whole lost more black residents than in gained. It shows big gains in black net migration to the South in 2000-2020. > Why did you cite an article discussing black migration from 1965 through 2000 Just a week ago Trump lauded a singer for a video glorifying vigilantism in front of a courthouse where falsely-accused black men were lynched by vigilante mobs. OTOH, inflaming racial tension was the centerpiece of Trump's campaign. census data shows that California's black population in 2022 is larger than it was in 2000.)Īlso, the second link you does not state that "champions of diversity" are moving to less diverse in fact states that positions on diversity play little to no role in where people actually live (though it does strongly inform where people prefer to live), and the general finding is that people of all races generally prefer to live with people of the same race except that Trump-supporting minorities prefer to live in White neighborhoods.īut if you ask me in general, focusing our attentions on our differences and pitting people against each other on racial boundaries isn't the way to make progress on the issueīush had his faults, but race relations wasn't one of them. Why did you cite an article discussing black migration from 1965 through 2000 as proof that race relations are better in the South in 2023? (And on that note, the U.S. This seems like a strange ding on Greyhound. Greyhound stations shouldn't also need to be homeless shelters, and it seems like smart business to spare paying customers from the antisocial, erratic behavior exhibited by many homeless people. > Greyhound stations now often close between buses to keep homeless people out – yet another communal space closed to those without the money to access private spaces I'd certainly vote for a congressperson that would take action on either of those matters. And the security state continues to impose one checkpoint after another on civil society, which I have no doubt was behind Greyhound's policy on requiring ID. Cash transactors have long been treated with suspicion by authorities, and the coming age of CBDC will further demean what it even means to have money. Unfortunately, powerful forces are against both. I'm in favor of retaining (both legally as well as culturally) cash as a medium of exchange, as well as maintaining and restoring a high-trust, cohesive society where most private transactions don't require showing one's papers. > “As of 25 January 2023 – you will need photo ID to buy tickets.” Yet another barrier between those with little money, no fixed address, no car, no passport or credit card and their ability to travel. The cashless society appears to be winning. > something I saw repeatedly: the exclusion of those without smartphones or credit cards. And it does expose you to parts of American society that those on the right-hand side of the distribution don't often see. Even over 15 years ago, as a newcomer to this country, I found Greyhound rides to be fascinating, while certainly not being well-run by any stretch of the imagination.
