If segregation was so awful, why did the majority of African Americans put up with it for 100 years instead of just moving a couple of states over>Lots didYes, lots did. Not the majority. Pic is their distribution today, decades after the Great Migration.Most chose to remain in the South. During an era when they were no longer slaves and trains and even cars and planes existed. They could have moved if it was that bad>It's not that simple, they had family and connections where they grew upAmerica is built off the principle that if the place you lives sucks just move somewhere better. You think it was easy for all the settlers to cross an ocean to get here?
>>18118620Same reason why India is home to most jeets too. They are lazy af and only those who slightly less lazy leave to be a burden elsewhere.
OP's stupidity exhausts me
>>18118620Yup. People vote with their feet as the saying goes.The inconveniences of moving were worse than living under segregation. Clearly it couldn't have been so bad as liberals imagine
>>18118620>put up with itsomebody is clueless
>>18118620>why did the majority of African Americans put up with it for 100 years instead of just moving a couple of states overThey eventually found out dealing with northern whites is worse than dealing with southern whites
Most people are perfectly content letting their betters dictate their life for them. As long as they don't have to get of >they ass. Truly cattle.
There are roughly similar numbers of African Americans living in Just Cook County, Illinois as there are in the entire state of Mississippi.

>>18118620Yeah, so telling Black Southerners to “just move” after slavery and during Jim Crow kinda ignores how stacked the deck was. Most were broke sharecroppers barely scraping by, often in debt to white landowners who didn’t want them leaving. Trains and cars existed, sure, but buying a ticket or abandoning your crops wasn’t exactly easy when you had no savings, no safety net, and the local sheriff might literally stop you from going.And even if you did get out, the North wasn’t a racial paradise. You could land a factory job, but good luck finding housing outside the few blocks you were “allowed” in. Segregation wasn’t written into the law up there, but it still existed — just with a polite smile instead of a “Whites Only” sign. Black migrants faced job discrimination, racist mobs, and housing bans, but yeah, technically it was better than the Deep South.Despite all that, millions did move — over six million in what’s now called the Great Migration. But most stayed behind because family, community, and land still mattered, and leaving everything behind for a hostile new city wasn’t a guaranteed upgrade. It’s not that they didn’t hate segregation — it’s that the system made escaping it nearly impossible.
