I've lived somewhere on an eastern or southern coastal area all my life. If niggers are a deal breaker and you don't have the money to live in a gentrified neighborhood/area TN all the way.
Born and raised in NYC. Looking for something other than the latest episode of Cops.
THe south is certainly blacker but what I've found interesting about more northern cities and areas is that they're far less integrated. Like people don't get along as well. Lynchburg, VA is considered the buckle of the Bible Belt and black and white folks generally get along. The truly ghetto black trash high crime section of the city barely comprises 2 blocks. You can literally walk a block outside the ghetto there and the crime rate almost drops off the charts. They mainly victimize each other. As for the rest of black and white folks they get along just fine. You've got some amateur table thumpers here and there being so close to Liberty University but no one takes anything too seriously. It's like different people and races are more used to each other as crazy as that sounds. People like to pretend the south is racist... the real truth is black and white up north hardly interact.
I grew up in New York City and lived in Detroit, LA, and Dallas. Race relations in all four places (from what I saw) was the way you describe it.
