yeah, maybe baltimore. but most white folks who live there love it and
wouldn't move.

years of living in d.c. (third-generation native) have taught me that maybe
seven out of ten white people not born here are from pennsylvania or ohio.
the feeder states for black immigrants seem to be north and south carolina.

working for the feds in the big city can be a draw if you were born in east
jesus somewhere in any of those states.
