Maybe racism doesn’t have anything to do with Republicans, the way some Democrats keep saying Republicans and their policies are racist in the media… Quote from article: Progressives and centrist Democrats are entitled to run California, New York, and Illinois in the way they see fit. They are entitled to curse low taxes, lower costs of living, and the absence of state-enforced woke ideology. But if they actually care about helping people of color, maybe they should take a cue from Texas and Florida and Georgia, which are evidently providing black and Hispanic people with what they want.

1. It is from the Washington Examiner, a right-wing media source
2. Article attempts to link politics alone to racial movement within states without using any statistical correlation. Here is an old 2018 Washington Post article which mentions that multiple factors are involved (e.g. reputable college presence, military bases, retirement, etc.) for moving

Sir all of the items you mention in item 2 of your statement: reputable college presence, military bases, retirement, etc. are enhanced or detracted from by the administrations they exist under. California and New York are prime examples where they have reputable college presence, military bases, retirement aged people galore, but their minorities are staying the same or decreasing because of how poorly run the states are. The article I provided provides a concise analysis explaining the demographics, even how they interact with one another and can statistically affect one another. If you have a problem with the article I provided explain how it is wrong or crafted to deceive. Maybe I missed something.
I was not able to open your article without subscription and my email address is already out there too many places. In any case in my opinion, we should not pit one article against the other, we should discuss each article separately on its own merits.

This is addressed directly within the article, sir.
"Now, it’s possible that governance has nothing to do with the desirability of living in a place, but that hardly seems like a progressive position."
Essentially, you have to pick your side. Either governance has a lot to do with why people choose to move - in which case Texas, Florida, and Georgia are doing it right. *OR* governance is *not* why people choose to move - in which case the entire progressive movement needs to re-look their arguments and justifications, many of which are based on providing "welcoming environments" for marginalized people (i.e. we can't do a bathroom bill because trans people won't come to our state' we have to tear down every confederate statue everywhere, because brown people won't come to our state).
Additionally, governmental policies have a LOT to do with those other factors - the military is going to buy land where it is cheap and available. They are not going to buy it (or buy less of it) in cities which have active bans on recruiters in high schools and colleges. Good colleges, generally speaking, have robust funding, both from the state and from rich donors. And when states limit (or do not limit) the amount of rich people who can go to a school and become alumni they are affecting the future endowment of that school. Taxes directly affect living on a fixed income, as most retirees do. Especially retirees who are drawing their pension from a different state. Drawing a pension from a high cost of living state (such as California) and retiring to a low cost of living state (such as Georgia) make that retirement check go WAY further. (And cost of living is not entirely controlled by taxes, but taxes *do* play a large role in it). Government policies don't control the weather - but they do control where you are allowed to live to enjoy that weather (or not enjoy it). Government policies control housing zones, which make a neighborhood more or less desirable, and building codes, which make individual homes more or less safe. Governmental policies directly affect corporations (read: job creators) moving into a state or leaving it.
Almost every factor, aside from weather / climate that helps determine where someone *wants* to live is either directly or partially controlled by government policies. Even proximity to family! If your state is undesirable for you family, *they* move, and you follow. And if your family doesn't move, but lives somewhat close to the state line of a more hospitable state, you move across the state line (like living in southern Wisconsin instead of Illinois, or Toldeo, OH instead of Detroit, MI) - or you move to a better city within the same state (Ann Arbor, MI).
No, governmental policy isn't the *only* reason people move. But it sure has a hell of a lot to do with it.

SFC Casey O'Mally - That's why our Country is so great! We have free speech and liberty even when some try to silence us. We can move to where we want to and do what we want to do, unlike anywhere else on the face of the earth. Now I know someone will cite a small government where some can live relatively free, to those I would say not on the scale we do in the US. MHO

It seems you are creating an apologetics argument to cover up utilization of defamation attacks to smear rivals... There can be no survey of such a thing to cite because attempting to mind read subjects of a study populated by people that were never asked any questions is an absurd fallacy.

The left lies. And the Democrats were the party that supported slavery. Now they support policies that keep people of color obeying the government to collect benefits.

Very true ma'am. What gets me is how they project the undesirable qualities of "themselves" onto their chosen enemies.

Nobody told conservatives to make it a part of their platform.
The catch is that these numbers don't actually reflect immigration/emigration rates, it reflects simple population growth from the old confederate states simply having the largest black population.
This isn't hard.
