More like, poor minorities are moving to rural communities because they can't afford the rising cost of living in cities. 30 years ago, places like Stockton, CA and Palmdale, CA were Deliverance Country.


Yes, a lot of blacks, especially in the south, have moved to rural communities. Those once “ mayberry” type communites and charming southern towns are now looking like mini ghettos with violent crime; spray pained buildings ect... its horrible.
Those towns were just as impoverished before the blacks moved in but the towns were well kept and safe. What changed??? Obviously the people that moved in.
