    1. Technically they blocked the fast moving stocks from being traded. I was about to buy AMC but it says Not Supported.

    2. @Emile Blanche wow, don’t you know when to keep your cards close to your chest, you need shout to the world you have the money to play the market, while the hungry poor get poorer.. really?

  1. Division what is need is communication and cooperation of people a good Godly Moral Moral character black white Mexican Asian if you are a in the United States we need to stand together

    1. Its the “godly” morals of the south that out the US in this position. Whatvid needed is for the US to leave the God myths at home, not in public.

  2. Let’s hope that they can find decent work at the end of their reverse migration.
    Moderate-to-liberal Democratic southern states would be very nice.

  3. Any takers? Move to any of the Southern states. FL, GA, NC, SC. Just think of it. Take back the south. Replace DeSantis, or Graham, Cruz and Rubio gone. Lindsey Graham would be crying for real. It’s a great idea

    1. I can tell you’re a white person 🤣🤣, because y’all think the same.. he’s not telling black Americans to move down south!! He’s reporting on black Americans who have been moving down south in high numbers since the 90s & especially since the 2008 !! Just youtube or google reverse black migration

    2. @JaVion Riley I mean no disrespect and cannot help my race. I admit I didn’t read Charles Blow’s book but I will. Thanks

    3. African American Homeland States, 8 States Southern Region aka Affrilachia (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas & Tennessee).

    1. His very first day, he promised us checks..and several times since..plus the possibility of at least 2 more cares packages so stfu with your bs..should have them in late feb or march, however, as usual the repubs dont want us to get a dime n plan to vote against helping us..vote out the gop..at every election cycle til this whole 45 admin is GONE!!!!

  4. Constitution of the United States, all men are created equal to pursue life, liberty (freedom), and the pursuit of happiness in 1787, in 1863 the emancipation proclamation was signed to free slaves from rebellious states. The civil rights act of 1960 & 1964 tried to end discrimination. Add Jim crow 1 & 2, lynching, mass killings, voters suppression, police brutality, criminal injustice for the slaying of the innocent, i.e Taylor, Arbery, Martin, ETC. Passing legislation is not the issues. Enforcing the legislation is the problem.

  5. Off topic but….
    Washington DC’s largest demographic is black at 45%, has 700,000 people total, but 0 senators.
    Wyoming is 891% white, has 600,000 people, and 2 senators.

    Hmm, that doesn’t seem fair. 🤔🙄

  6. I’ll just hop on a train and subject myself to abuse right away. I note that Blow maintains a residence in Brooklyn, where he raised his kids.

  7. i think it’s so hilarious when they get excited about businesses and people leaving california and relocating to texas and others southern states. it’s like, don’t you realize that means the black people and white “liberals” are coming?

  8. When he migrates with his family and friends I will consider it. 😂 Charles, you’ve got to do it to have any credibility.

  9. Charles Blow’s analysis is flawed. His argument suggests migrating to swing states (and especially to purple districts in swing states) rather than to southern states. The example Blow picked, Georgia, is a swing state. (Note: the same reasoning suggests migrating by all groups, not just Blacks, to swing states. Imagine what would have happened if a few hundred thousand Trump voters had moved from California and/or New York to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin… then Trump would have defeated Biden.)

    1. Based off the white population decreasing rapidly!! across my country of USA 🇺🇸 Y’all still would of lost!!! he’s reporting FACTS, black Americans have been re migrating from up north to back down south since the 90s but it kick into high gear in 2008 via recession.. that’s how Virginia became a blue stay along with North Carolina being a battle ground!!

  10. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN FOR THIS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE DIALOGUE. DEEPLY REFRESHING WITNESSING YOUR LUMINOUS VOICES. NAMASTE. MINDFULNESS CHANGES, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.

  11. Order Out of Chaos has several meanings, ranging from nebulous metaphysical deeds to concrete social engineering. On a wider scale, this motto is the ultimate recipe for a drastic change in society: 1) An event causes chaos and panic 2) A solution surfaces which also happens to advance the agenda of the elite 3) Society changes without resistance.

  12. With ALL due respek to my Brutha Charles.. Returning to the South is folly
    #1 Louisiana operates the biggest prison plantation in the WORLD feeding Black men into it
    #2 Confederate flags still flying
    #3 Southern Plantations are still a “thing” there
    #4 We need to get REPARATIONS done before moving anywhere

    1. Everything you just stated can be found in the north… you must be a baby boomer/gen-x because your old mentality is showing… and yes we will get HR 40 Bill ( Reparation study bill) signed into law

    2. Reparations will nothing to help Black people other than giving back the money to White own banks, Corporations & Firms.
      How much money per family or person do you expect?

    3. @JaVion Riley Wrong Reemus.. you must be one of them gullible ones who believes everything massa tells you bruh.. There is no “Angola” Penitentiary up north..and you think Biden will sign Reparations into law while coddling w the badged klan?🤦🏽‍♂️🤡😭😭😭😭

    4. @Crypto Freddy here in CA we passed a bill to study the issue, and the number is around $300k per person or family (?). You can google more info. Not saying it’s good or bad but that’s what’s happening here. Google “California reparations bill”.
