The trend of blacks moving to the South has been covered in the news for
many years.


Here, the topic is a part of every-day life.


Exactly. More people here talk about race issues (all sides) openly and
honestly instead of sweeping them under the rug like they doesn't exist (or
trying to act like they don't exist). A friend (a reggie recording artist)
and his wife just moved here from NY about four years ago. There isn't a
week that goes by that we don't discuss, or even argue out, some racial
issue or topic. I think we've both learned a lot from each other through
this process. Regardless, the conversations are rarely boring and we've all
become good friends over the last few years.
