Baltimore? Baltimore is definitely not a city you want to move to
Lol Baltimore is alright 😂
I agree. The only thing really decent down there is Inner Harbor
He lost 100% credibility by saying Baltimore lol
Hahaha, I clutched my pearls when he said “Baltimore.” 🤭
I love Baltimore and Maryland lots of jobs and opportunities here for black and immigrants and other minorities
Mrs Stella mark is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Stella I thought I' m the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
Yes I'm also a living testimony of expert Mrs Stella mark
Mrs Stella Mark has changed my financial status for the best.all thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me
Who's this professional everyone is talking about I always see her post on top comment on every TH-cam video I watched
It annoys me that when moving to a different city I need to know what the population consist of. It’s stressful to know that you may not be accepted just because of what you look like. Thank you for the video.
Yeah, it’s a hard and unfortunate reality. I was lamenting to one of my white friends who picked up and left Los Angeles for Vermont that white people have the luxury to pick and choose random spots throughout the U.S. without having to worry about whether or not it’s a racist area. I mean, they SHOULD worry... but they don’t.
Right, I'm actually doing that now, hence the reason I watched this video. But it's sad that we have to worry about that on a daily basis and can't just up and move anywhere we please. Even overseas.
This is America
Very true. I am going to move into College Station, Texas with my brother and I'm nervous. Alot of white faces.
@@french2572 stay safe brother✊🏾
Honestly it doesn’t matter what city you live in. If your salary is in the poverty zone you gonna have a hard time living comfortable in any major city
Somewhat that's true, I had a friend making soom good money annually, but the racism was so bad he had 2 quit his job and move for fear of his life and health and well being, It was extremely uncomfortable for him every day, he dreaded going to work every day.
Kentucky
@@jacquejackson6989 , ok
Also if you don't get off your ass and do something, life will be hard living anywhere......
The Wrestling guy....👁️ Thts right ❣️bcz has a huge effect on quality of ur everyday life, health, stress level I agree 💯💯💯🙏❣️🤣🤔🤔👌
He lost me at Baltimore...
I agree with the rest.
Lmao 🤣
Amen Baltimore really? This is silly
These lists are all based on metro areas, not just the city limits. He's talking about the Baltimore Metropolitan Area where black people in general are faring well.
Of all the cities I traveled to in my life, I haven't seen so much grime and blight like I witnessed in Baltimore
Hahaaaaaaaaaaa
5. Charlotte, NC
4. Raleigh, NC
3. Baltimore, MD
2. Austin, TX
1. Washington, DC & Atlanta, GA
Thanks for watching!
I disagree about DC, Baltimore, & Hotlanta. (1) DC is very over regulated. The property taxes are too high and it is no longer "Chocolate City". (2) Black folks have been moving out of DC for the last 20 years; as a matter of fact DC has been gentrified so how did it even make your list ? (3) Apparently the Narrator of this video has NOT rolled through the streets of Baltimore lately. Scores of vacant houses. Many former black neighborhoods were demolished. (4) Atlanta is overated; it has not been a go to city for blacks since prior to 1984.
@Frederick Clayton I only commented the areas mentioned in the video.
@Frederick Clayton I'm am trying to go to L.A.What about Bakersfield.
@Frederick Clayton 👌
I have to disagree about Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't have the proper infrastructure to accommodate everyone and the salary/wages are not comparable to the rising of cost here in the state of GA.
I grew up in Atlanta and you are so right. It’s not what everybody thinks it is not to mention that is overhyped and overrated too
@@8v71buses do jobs in Atlanta pay different compared to the rest of GA? Like Augusta Columbus Macon Savannah Athens? Or is the pay the same. Are the cities I mentioned slower paced or faster
It make you wonder 💭 what research 🧐 have they done to came to that conclusion. Have they really talk to anybody with experience living in the 5 cities?
Exactly!!!👍🏾😅🙋🏿♀️How u gonna pay rent off minimum wages...who wants to work #7 days/#24 hours.per day with NO health, Insurance... Come on BIDEN we need U!! No more student loans!😢
Agreed. I actually moved because of the same reasons.
Video: Baltimore is good
Us: 🙄
Baltimore:😮
Yep 😁❣️🤦🤦🤷
🕊️ 🕊️
Wait did he say Forbes provided this list? Because Forbes is suspect when it comes to anything pertaining to the black community. Sounds like places with cheaper cost of living but low wages.
You might be right about the rest of the list, but it is NOT cheap to live in Washington, D.C. and the metro area. That's why people from this area move to places like Raleigh and Atlanta. Lower costs of living.
@@veronicadabney1466 Atlanta is not cheap either. The salaries are extremely low and cost of living has risen astronomically because of those who have moved to the area. Atlanta is no longer business oriented; rather it's more geared toward entertainment. The Ford's and GM's are long gone. And if you think racism isn't rampant here you're in for a rude awakening. Remember all skin ain't kin here also.
I see what you're saying. Forbes has a hidden agenda. That's why I ask ppl from the area or in the area what's up
everything is real sketchy with white people.
@@veronicadabney1466 I’m from the DC region and want to move to Charlotte, or Raleigh. I’m so tired of this stressful hustle and bustle life. Plus I wanna be around more black ppl. I’m born and raised here so it would be bittersweet to leave.
Baltimore, HELL TO THE NO!!
You're talking about Baltimore's REPUTATION. It's not such a bad city.
Lol😂😂😂
🤣🤣
why not?
Don't let The Wire fool you. People sleep on Baltimore and its surrounding areas.
He is smoking crack to put Baltimore Maryland on the third Baltimore Maryland is crazy
ROFL!!!!!
Take out baltimore put austin at no 2 altanta at no 1
That because you don't live in Baltimore! You watch too much TV.
@Ronald Hitson He can't give you insight...there is none to give. I live in Maryland and have worked in Baltimore. Nope, it should not be on this list at all.
Baltimore County might be good to live ,but not the city.
Baltimore?!? Nah fam. BMore ain't the place to be.
No Bmore l'm from Baltimore Maryland it's not safe for anyone
Thats what I said
Federal hill and other areas that are being gentrified are safe areas in Baltimore. It's actually getting pricey now and will be like DC in a few years i.e. areas where the average person will NOT be able to afford to live.
New orleans sure isnt either sadly poverty corruption the whole system and crime drivebys.
I live in a safe area
Bmore is fine y’all drug problem is rough but it’s nice to me
Despite Atlanta's drama and oversaturation and drama... (did I mention the drama???)... Atlanta has become and still is BLACK HOLLYWOOD and the center for BLACK entertainment right now. The center for all that represents Black upward mobility... but I can't live there... did I mention the drama?
@Ronald Hitson Let me answer your question with a question. You don't think Allana is full of drama??? If you don't, it may be normalized to you. 😂😂😂
but nah, I'm just giving yall in Atl a hard time... I live in Charlotte though.
@Ronald Hitson some of the people in Atlanta pretend to live a certain lifestyle because they see others doing it. Plus there is way too many Black people for me. I’m used to diversity. I go to Atlanta a lot but it’s always some kind of foolishness with Black people.
Yeah, I moved to Atlanta from Johannesburg, South Africa. This city is very much oversaturated for its size & you’re right about the drama level my gawwd! 😂“Black Hollywood” brought me here and that too is filled with drama 🎭 😩😩
But we mainly hear that, that's Black gay capital. Particularly men?🤢🤮. .. Is that true?
I'm considering Atlanta or Austin. Austin seems like a winner, right now.
@@shifuthastudent3955 Black Gay Capitol... If I was able to respond with a "whew chile" emoji... I would... Hahahaaaaa... LOL... I don't want to come down hard and discriminate on any groups but yeah dude. It makes it harder for the women. But the congestion and oversaturation is my biggest issue.
Um, I’m sorry but right now Atlanta is not the best place
😂 really? What's going on in Atlanta?
I agree
To have a business it is and to own property it is IJS
What. About Atlanta
@Ronald Hitson true
Your next research should/needs to be why are blacks doing well in these cities vs the worst cities for blacks.
The DC Area is home to the federal government and many other well paying private sector jobs. DC also sets their own minimum wage. Housing is very expensive here though.
@@SEXYDCGIRL84 isn’t there more to it than just that. Are most black individuals likely to have graduated high school and university? Maybe a higher percentage of blacks have their graduate or masters degree as well maybe 🤷🏾♂️
@@pierrehenry3483 - There is a correlation between educational attainment and income. It’s not the whole story. D.C., Austin, Raleigh and Atlanta (in that order) also have the highest percentages of Blacks with at least a bachelors degree.
Best comment on here
I agree!
I like this channel, unlike the other channels that has similar topics, he 'cuts directly to the chase!" It would take 5 minutes for the other channels to tell you how to "Like and subscribe."
Good job!
It's so damn annoying 😭 I thought I was alone!
I moved to Raleigh Durham area bc of these video. Been here 1 year. Great choice.
Austin is not that great. People who are supposedly “open minded (and are not black), don’t honor black men who don’t act the way they expect.
Please say what you mean. This comment needs to be decoded
You're right about that. At least in the "racist" parts of the south, they will acknowledge their prejudice. People were always surprised that I graduated from UT Austin when i was there because I didn't look like someone that could attend.
There is segregation and homelessness is high among black people when they only make up a small percentage of the population.
Austin is maybe okay for those who can tolerate being treated as less than by "progressives". If you are used to the Midwest or certain parts of California then this may not be a problem for you.
@@coreygatling9924 no decoding necessary this person experienced ppl wanting him to be a stereo type. Happens in more liberal cities often
@@coreygatling9924 the city of Austin isn’t great for black people. It caters to liberal white people.
@@staticnomadforever true. I've lived in Austin for a year. The socializing is cool everyone is curious BUT getting a home and job it's a shitty city if you're black. It's overpriced in housing. Other than that. It's a beautiful city with much to do.
I’m from Baltimore and I moved out shit is bad there can raise a family the right way there
What about the better areas of the city? I'd totally live downtown or near John Hopkins. Would never live on the west side.
The joke in Atlanta use to be; “ the worst thing that ever happened to Atlanta is hurricane Katrina.
Atlanta’s employer pay slave wages. In my industry the “professionals” are use to mediocre pay, and they accept the lowest that is offered; because, “ I got to feed my kids.”
@Summers Journey unless those six figs is north of 150k, DC isn’t worth it
As a resident of Charlotte I can tell that it’s certainly one of the more well integrated cities.
Just moved to Charlotte from Florida and loving it
Born and raised in NY, lived in DC for a while, and just moved to Houston. I LOVE Houston! DC was very stressful to live in in my opinion
from NY also and planning on moving to D.C since I currently attend Morgan State University, would you mind sharing some more info on your experience in D.C
@A.J. 232737 went to school out there and liked the environment still has the city feel but with nicer people and it was a breath of fresh air for me personally i was put in a new environment
Houston should've been on the list its by far one of the best cities for blacks
HARLEM ALL DAY 125ST
I've been in the DC Area basically my whole life. I also lived in Atlanta for a couple of years before moving back to DC. I think with any place a person moves to, they will attract the energy they put out. Your tribe will come to you. In your work life as well as well as your personal. Does DC have its limitations and shortcomings? Hell yeah. But so does every other city in the nation. But as with any other city on that list, people choose to stay for a reason. Was Atlanta my cup of tea? No. But it is a lot of people's cup of tea and I 100% understand the draw of it. Fake, cliquish, catty people are plentiful no matter what city one moves to. People have to ask themselves what kind of energy they're attracting.
Austin is a very nice city. I live an hour and 15 minutes south in San Antonio. But Gentrification and Homelessness among black people is a very big issue there!!!!!
From what I seen Rick prices are crazy there
@@Lenron-B06 very high. And its only about to get higher due to all thos California tech companies moving there!!!!
Just visited there and whew the homeless community is the biggest I've ever witnessed. It's VERY expensive but i would love it other than those 2.
Is it an issue with you? Live long and prosper.
I think he means the surrounding areas of Atlanta like Marietta. Atlanta gets tourism that’s why they’re on there. The infrastructure of Atlanta is poor.
Thank you, it's the metro areas in general!
Yea he probably referring to Sandy Springs, Smyrna, Dunwoody, Alpharetta Where all the corporations are. Everyone knows south of Grady hospital is trash and all you see is a bunch of homeless people roaming the streets and stuff.
Dallas / Ft worth I believe is great for blacks in homes, jobs, and entrepreneurship. I moved from NJ. No regrets
I agree
You should take me with you. . I'm in NYC
Yeah, but you moved from New Jersey.
@@veronicadabney1466 Funny but true. I've been all over the world because of the military. I still say the DFW metroplex is the best
Dallas is nice I have family there and they love it . They moved from Mississippi
Thanks a million for your uplifting channel for our communities.
If your “black” learn a trade...a degree 📜 unless it’s a masters or doctorate doesn’t hold as much weight as it use to in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s just sad that at this point no matter where you live you must go through someone that doesn’t look like you in order to receive a job. The black homeless population in California is skyrocketing, as Indians, Asians and other immigrants are gaining employment through pipelines that are by design (Air India now has direct flights from India to the U.S.A.) For Instance if you are black and live in San Diego you either live in South East Urban areas, are in the Military, work bottom tier jobs (many of those are already taken by Hispanics), or pushing a shopping cart 🛒. There is a small population that transitioned out of the military and entered the workforce (the most common pipeline for middle class blacks in SD) there is a very small percentage that are in other industries throughout San Diego. Many melanated people in SD have some form of military history that allowed them access to certain jobs based on their credentials in certain fields. However the demographics that tell the real story are in North County cities like La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Coronado, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, and other areas that are considered extremely wealthy. You may not see one melanated person in a wealthy neighborhood in North county San Diego all day that isn’t either a tourist, out of Towner or military...literally. We own no wealth in this country. UCSD is a public research university that has demographics that are mostly Asian, Indian, and European American. Hardly any melanin people. Also many of the students have only been in SD for several months or only a few years and speak broken English depending on the amount of time they’ve been in this country. I have no I’ll will toward any race of people I am just noticing a trend that is happening and that has been happening in California and other parts of the country as well. This country depends on its allegiance and connections with other countries and rolls out the red carpet for them in order to maintain relationships with those countries; while continuing to demonize and foster to other races of people hatred and contempt toward the black population . America was built on slavery so therefore it still needs to have a bottom class of people for mass incarceration, population targeting, vaccinations 💉 and other forms of cattle 🐄 control and that class in America 🇺🇸 is the so called Black Man. Black descendants of slaves to be specific. It is estimated that by 2025 “black people” will be the face of homelessness
@Peace. Exactly!! I live in Orange County having moved from Murrietta, CA and its the same way in both places, including the US at large! Black Americans need to consider both Afrika and the Caribbean as dual citizenship opportunities so we can build wealth and communities outside of Babylon/Amerikkka.
Bam Bam definitely, I like the way you think 👍🏾they’ll never give us what is owed, they have to keep us as footstools...our wealth is a threat to them
I believe you're on to something. Here in Virginia they have built storage units left and right as if to say people will lose what they have and need to put their belongings in storage. Sad but what you're saying is probably true.
Whats sad is people in Africa and the Caribbean are trying to come here and you think we should go there? No matter where blacks move there is always going to be colonizers. They follow people of color everywhere, buy up the land and cause the natives not to be able to afford to live in their own country. Only God can help us no continent or country will change things for us. Look how many colonizers retire and buy homes in melinated countries.
I've lived out West for the last 5 years and I totally understand your point and agree with everything you said. It took a couple of years for me to realize what's going on out West, but I see it clear as day and it's a travesty. To treat us African Americans like 3rd class citizens and everyone else like 1st class after all we've endured just makes me sick and infuriates me deeply. I'm moving back to the South before the end of the year. I'm over the West Coast. Bunch of hypocrite racists.
@@ladyyaya78 I just left the west coast after 10 years, California,Nevada and then Arizona. Your exactly on point with your words on the west coast.i felt the same.
Love how you got straight to the point 💫
This comment section is just an indication that everyone's experience per city is going to be different.
That's because good news about black people is almost never welcomed.
He is very concise. He doesn't waste time with a bunch of unnecessary rhetoric. Enjoyed the site. He does a really good job. Very informative.
This list surprised me with Baltimore (high crime, etc) and Austin. I lived for ten years in Austin and most professional blacks I knew who did NOT like rock n roll and country were leaving in droves to Dallas or Houston....I really expected to see Houston on the list since it does have a large educated black middle class.
Yea I heard Dallas was better than Austin. This list really makes me question how accurate the other list they come out with are. Smh
Austin is not a good city for black people .
Love this channel! Great list!
Atlanta is the ish. Blacks supports black I'm so seriously thinking of moving back there. It good for entrepreneurs . The black culture is strong..
South Africa is like America. Just run by blacks.
5. Atlanta
4. Nashville
3. Raleigh
2. Charlotte
1. Houston
This should be the list..
@Ronald Hitson Lmaooooo
Nashville? Hhheellll naw!!
The growth in jobs for black people is high in Nashville and high pay growth. Low crime and it’s becoming more diverse with people from the west and east coast moving in. Plus major companies have came to the city to make a high impact.
The best cities for blacks is on the Continent aka Motherland Afrika. When I mention the word cities I'm referring to any suitable city within a country like Tanzinia, Rwanda, Senegal, Ghana, Botswana just to name a few. I'm weeks away from leaving Babylon and owning over 3000 acres in Africa, with my own water source and growing my own food. No matter where you move to in The United Snakes, you are still under your oppressor, and westernized thinking. Shalom
Facts and don't forget Sierra Leone where you can build any business and become rich
Exactly
Your mind does not have to be in a westernized state and make sure you do truthful videos about how Africans treat black folks and how hard it is to do business with them and make sure you talk about how many many Africans have a westernized mind set and haven't stepped a foot in America
@@M_EYESTORY24581 and the politics are worse in Africa
I lived in Africa. Why should i trust your judgment about living in africa more than i trust your judgment about some other place youve never lived in. Logically your statement about living under the oppressor and so on makes some sense but africa has its own issues too and america overall is a pretty good place to live despite some important issues. African people are going to be mystified why you would come to africa when they would give up body parts to come live legally in the usa. But i really want to know how you enjoy going to africa, it is wonderful.
Charlotte,Raliegh NC is good for Black folks.Been to both
Chapel hill n.c is 👌
The 704 yeap✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
How are the black people in Charlotte? Are they down to earth are they “knowledgeable of self” uppity conservative etc. im looking at Charlotte or Gainesville Florida.
I’m in Memphis right now in pursuit of possibly a music career but Im sure eventually I’m going to be leaving. Memphis was once the slave capital of the world many y’all may not know. It’s on TH-cam. I’ve lived in Georgia for 13 years I know Atlanta pretty well.
@@cardelljermaine76 see that’s what I wanna know bc I’m currently in Louisville Kentucky and thinking of moving to Charlotte.
Yes can you share insight on what living in Charlotte or Raleigh is like? I’m wanting to move there within the next 2 years.
We just moved to Austin from San Diego and we Love it ! Great channel continued success!
Great to hear! We actually are working on a doc about people moving out of Cali. Would love to get your experience on it! Email us info@blackexcellence.com
I live in San Diego and have been eyeing either Austin or Dallas for my next move. What do you love about Austin?
I hope that you didn't bring California with you.
That’s good to hear! Been eyeing Austin for the last 5 years. And thinking of finally just doing it. Btw regarding what Owleyes said in their comment , I hate when I hear other people say “don’t bring the California with you” as if we are just a bunch of socialist and/or politicians who are looking to change other areas. We are all just people looking for another area where we can thrive and take care of our family. Not once did I ever meet a person who moved to CA from another state and wave my finger and say “Don’t bring that Texas with you.” Or “don’t bring that Mississippi with you!” Huh!?? People need to get over that mentality and accept that everyone is just looking for what’s better for them on a personal level. We’re all not just a bunch of walking political figures. And for the record, I grew up an army brat and lived all around the U.S. and the world. And I can tell you, I’ve never brought any state or country’s politics with me - just myself with a global vision to live my life and mind my own.
@@thegoldenchild76 Sorry. I'm just frustrated. I live in a quiet white neighborhood and surrounded by Liberals (as shown by blue signs with not one red sign in yards). I'm just blaming Californians because the media said that many are coming to Austin. I moved out of Orange County in 1972 when a lot of Liberal were moving in.
I am glad Atlanta is on the list because I can say it good because I have been able to be self employed and purchase two homes for cash and a commercial property. All praise to the most high.
It's because of The Most High that you will be successful no matter where you go ! 🙏
@@melviasheppard8466 I guess the most high don't care about the rest of the black population that struggle finding jobs, good schools and a safe place to live then because this is what the majority is facing.. Guess he has favorites.. SMH
I love that city

Carolina is a beautiful state period that's only a hop skip & a jump from Charleston SC & I loved & lived in both Charlotte & Raleigh the people were cool & down to earth the skin folks are plentiful & the scenery was picture perfect the only downside was the pay I lived in NC for about 5 year's & still give it a 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽up
From Raleigh and yes, the pay sucks compared to Maryland, Pennsylvania and other places more North.
@@aliciag946 Raleigh is doing well in tech and medical industry.I was tell friends moving there to align with something in that field if they want more pay. Sad it’s that way but I just try to warn them before they go
@@whoome1638 Those industries usually do well.
@@aliciag946 yea they do. Most of them now work in that industry or something that involves it, even if it’s on a smaller scale. I know many who lost their jobs in the tech field too but they worked for companies that wasn’t considered essential. Traveling, AirBNB, hospitality services. All of the industries people can’t use due to the pandemic. In the military we have a saying “choose your rate(job) choose your fate”.
But the crime in Baltimore ain't it
You watch too much TV!
I noticed a pattern here and I think it's safe to say that he was going based on metropolitan areas instead of the city by itself. I would say the Baltimore Metro Area is not that bad.
@@jnyerere Exactly brother! I was born and raised in Baltimore and I can take you places their that would make you question what they show us on the media! White folks are not moving back into the city for the crime clearly!!
@Malik thomas I don't think I said anything about a town with 0 crime. So whatever your point...it's invalid
And also yall may get out of your Baltimore feelings. I'm from fucking Los Angeles and there are some areas I wouldn't want to live. 🙄
I must say that knowing you is my greatest achievement in life, i receive my profit $10,000 successful, all thanks to Mrs Linda may God keep on blessing you.
I withdraw my profit every week thanks so much.
Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Linda I thought I'm the only one trading with her, She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self.
Another great withdrawals today!! £73,500 i appreciate what you've done for me, you're the best and i promise to spread your good work, thanks so much Mrs Linda.
Yes I'm also a living testimony of expert Mrs Linda.
Mrs Linda has changed my financial status for the best.all thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me?
Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston are the only two metro areas in Texas that good for blacks.
Exactly...The second largest city in Texas which is San Antonio not many blacks there and Austin
Not sure 😕 about Dallas.. not sure about the south..
Really🤔🤔 I remb Dallas being Krazy racist & segregated ..but idk myb it's better now, tht was long time ago... 🤷 .
We have to face reality and the destiny of this system... it's going to fall quicker than it has been over the last 60 years... every giant falls especially when they rise off the blood and backs of people with no real interest or good intentions for them except using them as the life line of their evil.. living well is not about the ability to pay bills on time getting a nice home , nice job working for someone else having a nice car a sexy wife or a good husband who bows down to the matrix... Marvin Gaye said this ain't living... There is so much more to life than the physical side... and even then we don't even produce anything physical we need as a whole .. so being happy with this system is not wise.. it's a distraction from keeping us from rising and living as creation intended...
@@gato0082 That must have been a long time ago. Dallas is all about the money. You got it , you can move anywhere in the metroplex. Ask all the Californians that's from the black neighborhoods who sold their homes and moved to the DFW. They living large.
If u can’t get money in Atlanta u can’t get money nowhere
I’m from the DMV area, I’ve lived overseas, and California and by far, DC is my favorite city. There’s so much to do there and sooo many black people! You can always find a good hairstylist and products for your skin and hair. Plus the dating scene is plentiful.
The only downfall is that you’ll be introduced with your GS level or business name, etc. Status is somewhat a big deal but it’s so inspiring to see so many black people attaining wealth. Where I live, people are shocked that I own a car 😢
I'm in the Dallas area and have lived here pretty much My entire life. I want to move to the dmv. I was considering northern VA, but here there are Anglo yuppies mainly there.. Now I am considering Columbia MD or silver springs. Any thoughts on those two Areas?
The DMV is expensive, congested, loud, and people are extremely rude but it's great for professionals or a career in government and tech.
Yes indeed! I'm Raleigh bound at the end of the year! Looking forward to it!
Maryland cool but Baltimore? No thank you🙅🏿
This is good to know. Thank you for sharing.
Well, I got lucky! My hometown is Atlanta, GA and I now live in Austin, TX! I agree they are both great cities for blacks to live in. 😎
I read that a lot of Atlanta top companies are relocating to Charlotte
Charlotte is accurate. I am in the process of building my home and my entire neighborhood is black.
Quite a few people seem to be confused in the comments. He's not talking about CITY LIMITS here. He is talking about Metropolitan Areas. Think Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton, DeKalb when you hear Atlanta. Think Prince George's, Montgomery, Arlington, Fairfax when you hear DC. These are Metro Areas. Not the actual city by itself.
@Frederick Clayton that's the United States
Exactly.
1. Atlanta
2. Charlotte
3. Houston
4. Prince George’s County
5. Chicago
Raleigh-Durham is on the list 🔥
I know it’s not his fault, but racism should’ve been a factor on this list
DC stand up. 🙌🏽
Well I live in Dublin Ca. black people do well here.. and the weather is great!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really Dublin I look into it.
It's expensive though.
I'm in LA and looking for other cities in this state that's more affordable.
According to the 2010 Census, Dublin, California, had a total Black population of 246. Probably 50% of that is comprised of Black kids. Not much to gauge there.
I’m from ny but live in a suburb of Baltimore. I wouldn’t recommend living in the city of Baltimore but the outskirts are nice ie. Columbia, Ellicott City and Owings Mills but it can be very pricey
I smiled at this whole video! I love black success
In spite the danger, I'm surprised Chicago is not on the list. Their black history and culture is among the strongest in America. I'll bet Charlotte got the most restaurants! My Goodness, thumbs up.
True
@Aye Tee Pea Emm Exactly! I have mad family in Chi-Town for almost 60 years. I visited several times. It is not unusual a large settlement of blacks there since the 19th century. Respect to you
This list was not about culture or history. The criteria were median income, home ownership, etc.
Im not from Chicago but I heard it was actually very segragated. The demographics of some of the suburbs are like 95+% white but idk again i'm in New York so you should prolly talk to some of the locals
They’re trying to kill all the blacks out of there.
All those murders are not happening mysteriously.
Major genocide effort in Illinois
Just like they had in California
and I can tell you you do not want to live in California
The hatred is palpable and the opportunities are slim to none
Great list and explanations!!
Thanks a lot for the support!
D.C. and ATL for sure I didn't expect Austin that was good info.
Austin is good for African Americans who have tech background only. It is not a good place for all African Americans. I've been there and it is very beautiful, but not welcoming of everyone.
What about Tampa or Miami
@@dr.earnest.ujaama when you say "not welcoming" , how so?
In fairness, I was in Austin for several days in 1999. At that time, I felt the people were privileged, white, and a bit snobbish.
@@dr.earnest.ujaama got it.
Right on Soul Brother, right on! You nailed it right on the dot! No disagreements here. I live in North Carolina and I know that Charlotte & Raleigh is the best cities for Blacks and Atlanta, Georgia! Taylor Perry has the Largest Film Production Studios in Atlanta! Austin, Texas is one of LeToya Luckett's favorite cities! All time best video! Keep up the good work! 👍👍
I’m from North Carolina, and think about moving back to Raleigh all the time! I went to college there, and I like the area. It’s affordable and there are great companies in the RTP area. The career opportunity in the DMV is plentiful, but it’s very expensive!
The rents in Raleigh are becoming very unaffordable. As for homebuyers, it’s a sellers market, as home values are going up and up. To buy a house in Raleigh you must be a working professional with a good job.
Facts. You'll have a job for sure but the vibe is off. I can't wait to leave!!!
Oakland California could be a great place. But they need to fix this homeless crisis going on here. And NOBODY should be paying over $3,000 dollars to live in the hood.
Same thing in LA
Wow! Terrible 😞
I lived in Oakland 1970-1981 it has great potential I would consider moving back.
That's insane. Maybe it's how they're getting people to move away.
I lived in Charlotte, NC before joining the military... Prince George County MD s/b on the list
Charotte was a no for me. I moved to DMV and love it! I agree PGC should be on the list. Specifically, Bowie.
A lot of PG County is ghetto though. Bowie, Mitchellville, and a few others maybe but most areas are not that good.
@@supersaturn956 Yes! I'm from P.G. County, Capitol Heights, District Heights, Fairmont Heigts, anything ending with Heights, your going to find low to moderate income black folks.
I believe his stats include the metro areas of all the cities listed. So, P.G. is included with D.C. You’re on the list as #1 (to be expected).
@@monicabuchanan5444 Yes, and it is not the income; it is the morals or lack of morals. I do not think, that I am better than anyone, and that we are all equal, but the mindset just is not positive. Money cannot buy class, however the attitudes of a lot of us in the inner beltway of PG is just not progressive enough. You don't have to be bad and boujie, but just be a normal down to Earth Black person not boujie and arrogant and not hood and classless.
We need to respect our communities more and preserve the environment even more also. I see too many hood people blasting loud music and throwing garbage on in the streets and or littering having no respect. I should not see the White folks volunteering to get that trash up.
Can you present best places for women? Women suffer glass ceilings, wage gaps, discrimination, etc.
No they don't
Thats a lie
White women do not suffer from sexism as much anymore. But black women suffer from sexism, racism, colorism, featurism, and texturism.
Yes please this would be very helpful for all the reasons mentioned and more. Safety is my big concern.
I’m a native Washingtonian and I agree DC is #1. I’ve visited Atlanta several times and the pomp and circumstance is nice but there’s just something about DC that I’ll never leave.
Have You Been to Houston,Tx. Spend a Week here You might rethink Your List. Proud of My Hometown, H-TOWN!!
Houston has come up on multiple lists as one of the best cities for Blacks for sure! Just didn't make the cut on this particular list we looked at
@@BlackExcellenceMedia Ok I Stand Corrected. Thanks for the Information. Peace!!
Raleigh isn’t that great for black people either.
Shes getting there
Why? Can you elaborate
Really no city is. White people still find ways to segregate
Segregation can work in your favor, It's worked before.
Ayyye. Born and currently live in Charlotte. Also, lived in Raleigh, well worked in Raleigh before moving back to Charlotte
How is the current social climate for black people now after civil unrest??? Do black people feel safe?? Do the police respect black people there?
Nice work very articulate brother. Don't agree with everything, but job well done, thank you for the share.
My hometown of Washington, D.C. was very much expected 👏🏾
He bug him when he said Baltimore🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😂😂😂
Ok, we need a deep look into Baltimore. It's consistently on the list of best cities for blacks just purely based on the numbers, but a lot of people disagree.
Atlanta,Ga is good and has strong Black enterprenuership.I did some shows there,went to Bronx Day Atlanta events from 2015-2019 for old school festivals.Lived in Clayton County,Ga from 1999 till June 2002
Charlotte is in my.list!!! Yess!!
Or Raleigh
@Rusell Shaw I've been to both Raleigh and Charlotte, I'm impressed.
Friends and relatives are doing very well in both metropolitans.
Raleigh, NC native here 😊 but because I have literally been here all my life, I want some change, so thinking about outside of Atlanta.
@@aliciag946 Atl is cool but I would not live there now...goodluck
Bro, replace Bmore with Orlando and you will keep most of us as followers.
Austin is a great city for millennial blacks that work in the technology field. I’ve lived in ATX and it’s a great overall city.
That's what we've heard too.
Austin
I have been hearing that. I’m in IT coming from DC, and was so stuck on Houston. But, I obviously need to look into Austin!
The ATL lost ALL it's luster because of The OLYMPICS. in 96'. The BORN & RAISED ATLANTIANS are being "phased OUT" of their OWN City. Population went from 1.4 before to 5.5 now.
Seriously thinking about moving to Austin
great info, great video!
Top 5 for Black Families. Good list
49k ain’t shyt it be 80k for other “races”
Facts
@@supersaturn956 sad facts
There have been these other immigrant groups who have came over here put businesses in our communities and have leapfrogged over us. We have sent so many Asian children to college. A lot of Hispanics, Arabs, Asians, even foreign Black immigrants have been used as buffer groups against us.
@@supersaturn956 oh don’t get me started on the grants they give to other but honestly they give them to us we just have to write 100 page essay to receive it 🥴
That’s median
Atlanta, Memphis and chicago
Raleigh NC and other NC cities near Raleigh (Rocky Mount, Greenville)have a lot of Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry companies with very good incomes. Charlotte NC has a lot of thriving black owned businesses.
Agreed! I work for a biotech company in research triangle park as a scientist and make a great salary that has kept up with the rising cost of living here in the triangle. Recommend all to get a degree in Chemistry or Pharmaceutical sciences and you will have plenty of job opportunities in NC.
Thanks for this info.
All we need is more Federal jobs
Austin over Houston he must drunk lol
Facts. I’m from Austin and been living Houston for 12 years. BIG difference.
💯💯 I just left Houston for Los Angeles a few months ago and cried when I got here. But I visited Austin a couple of times and it can't come close to H-town.
@@ladyyaya78
You really fucked up
Los Angeles is over
They don’t even know how to run that city
Most racism and corruption I’ve ever seen
The good looking girls are gone
The real estate market values are in jeopardy
And when the market crashes
it will turn into a big Detroit
@@og-greenmachine8623 💯💯💯I agree with you. I definitely miss Houston and planning to move back next year.
@@og-greenmachine8623 yep! Those white people will move right on out
I like Austin the vibe is way different then Houston and Dallas I go visit often it remind me of back home New Orleans a lil bit but it' so congested it feel like a million cars trying to maneuver around a small city
Idc what nobody says 🚫 I was born & raised in the city of Baltimore... love it & wouldn't leave for nothing 💯
Shout out to Baltimore!
@@BlackExcellenceMedia Heyyyy🤣🤣🙌🏽
Bruh how you puttin Baltimore above Houston or Dallas? You mad off.
Yeah I'm surprised H town ain't on here
Take Baltimore off that list
So much hate in the comments for Baltimore. But the median income numbers don't lie.
thinking bout just moving to a coastal town in Europe, better architecture and views,less gun violence
Can I come with you
This list isn't what I expected at all. 😬
I CAN DEFINITELY GO ALONG WITH CITIES IN TEXAS BEING ON THE LIST!!!!!! I KNOW BECAUSE I LIVED IN BOTH NORTH CAROLINA AND TEXAS.
Austin before Houston? Make it make sense!
Exactly, especially since austin has one of the smallest black populations in the US and its extremely expensive.
Austin live tho
Very informative thanks
Thank you!
I'm glad I live in California and I have relatives who is charlotte north carolina and in atlanta georgia too and Texas as well
California is not black friendly. It’s Mexico City just like Texas. The black networking is weak in these states.
I have lived on bot DC and Atlanta. They are both great black people overall
A little birdie told me to skip out of Maryland and head north....lol
8% is not enough to move my blackness there.
Happy I found your channel
Happy you found us!! Thank you for the support!
