Al.com has linked to a useful study by the Brookings Institution which showcases America’s imploding major cities:
Note: The outside perimeter of most of these major cities is growing, but job growth in the “inner city” is negative.
From 2000 to 2010, 46,891 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Birmingham.
From 2000 to 2010, 26,130 jobs were lost within 3 miles of downtown Jackson.
From 2000 to 2010, 66,595 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Memphis.
From 2000 to 2010, 95,082 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown New Orleans.
From 2000 to 2010, 5,931 jobs were lost within 3 miles of downtown Baton Rouge.
From 2000 to 2010, 124,945 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Atlanta.
From 2000 to 2010, 16,476 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Augusta.
From 2000 to 2010, 66,544 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown St. Louis.
From 2000 to 2010, 34,588 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Richmond.
Virginia Beach-Newport News-Norfolk (VA)
From 2000 to 2010, 10,942 jobs were lost within 3 miles of downtown Virginia Beach
From 2000 to 2010, 34,312 jobs were lost within 10 miles of downtown Baltimore.
From 2000 to 2010, 475,591 jobs were lost within 35 miles of downtown Detroit.
From 2000 to 2010, 130,844 jobs were lost within 35 miles of downtown Philadelphia.
From 2000 to 2010, 209,680 jobs were lost within 35 miles of downtown Cleveland.
Should Black People Run America’s Major Cities?
No.
Despite the recent trend, Birmingham is more dependent on its downtown area for jobs than the average among the 100 largest U.S. metros. Across those 100 metros, the average percentage of jobs located within three miles of downtown is 23 percent, compared to 31.3 percent for Birmingham.
Not only that but fully 67.5% of the jobs in Metro Birmingham are within 10 miles of the CBD, in other words in the city of Birmingham and its inner suburbs. Based on these numbers, I would estimate that well over 50% of the jobs in the Birmingham-Hoover MSA are in the city itself, which only accounts for 20% of the metro area’s total population.
And considering the fact that the Birmingham-Hoover MSA makes up 24% of Alabama’s population and 31% of its economic output, the city of Birmingham is probably responsible for close to 20% of Alabama’s economic output despite having less than 5% of the state’s population.
That’s why the city of Birmingham is much too important to leave to the blacks who actually live there. As we can see from the job losses from 2000 to 2010, black mismanagement of the city is jeopardizing the economic engine of not only the metro area itself, but the entire state.
If Birmingham consolidated with Jefferson County, then whites would form a small majority of the population and the era of black rule in Birmingham would come to an end. Even better would be a grand consolidation of all 7 counties in the metro area, creating a Birmingham megacity which would be about 65% white. But not doing anything is a surefire recipe for continued job losses in Alabama’s most important city thanks to a corrupt and incompetent black administration.
Where did you get 67.5%?
If Birmingham was consolidated with Jefferson County, there would be a slight DWL-negro majority like when David Vann was the mayor of Birmingham, and within a few years there would be a black majority.
91 out of 100 metro areas lost jobs within 3 miles of downtown … including Nashville, Louisville, and Jacksonville.
The historical record suggests that both Black and White people would be better off if Blacks were allowed neither to vote nor run for office.
” … and its inner suburbs”
In other words, Homewood, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, and Mountain Brook (Over the Mountain). 2/3rds of the jobs are in Over the Mountain and the Metro area which includes Trussville, Gardendale, and Shelby County.
AA job growth is in Hate industry; expansion of the federal and state gov. Increase of incarceration and police force etc, job growth.
The only way out of this mess that has actually worked is to have the next highest level of government (ie. that which is run by White men) take over the finances of the failed smaller unit of government. This will only work up to a point of course. States like California are already on very, very thin financial ice.
Where did you get 67.5%?
From the article: Total employment for the entire Birmingham metro area is divided more or less evenly into those three rings. Roughly 31 percent of area jobs are based within three miles of downtown; 36 percent are between three and 10 miles; and 32.5 percent are between 10 and 35 miles, Brookings says.
If Birmingham was consolidated with Jefferson County, there would be a slight DWL-negro majority like when David Vann was the mayor of Birmingham, and within a few years there would be a black majority.
Possibly. That’s why I suggested the grand consolidation of the entire metro area, which would be 65% white. But Birmingham-Jefferson consolidation would be a good start.
91 out of 100 metro areas lost jobs within 3 miles of downtown … including Nashville, Louisville, and Jacksonville.
Who were the other nine? Lemme guess, Washington DC, New York City…..ok I’m stumped.
” … and its inner suburbs”
In other words, Homewood, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, and Mountain Brook (Over the Mountain). 2/3rds of the jobs are in Over the Mountain and the Metro area which includes Trussville, Gardendale, and Shelby County.
No. We know that at least 31.3% of the jobs are in Birmingham (within 3 miles of CBD). We also know that 32.5% of jobs are in the suburbs (more than 10 miles from CBD). So the remaining 36.2% of jobs (between 3 and 10 miles from CBD) are split between Birmingham and the inner suburbs. I would guess that most of them are within the city limits because “Birmingham is more dependent on its downtown area for jobs than the average among the 100 largest U.S. metros”, and that probably applies to the rest of the city as well (151.9 square miles, much larger than a 3 mile radius).

Or be ANYWHERE near them.
It would be great to ask or ax, if you prefer, that IBM comp Watson…
Were blacks qualitatively better off under the supremacy of the white?
Can it answer conceptual questions?
No, Watson is strictly a dabase-search engine.
Someone should work on it.
With natural language recognition barely past the point of usability, deep conceptual thinking is going to be a tall order.
If that order ever gets filled, what would the computer need of humanity?
Blacks were quantitatively and qualitatively better off under White rule, as were most non-White peoples. The British Raj was India’s finest hour. This is so easily demonstrated as to be almost unworthy of comment.
That’s precisely the problem. No one will bring this up because we (us wascally wascists) know it so well we get bored to tears explaining it. But it needs to be made manifest as often and as inescapably as possible.
In the case of blacks in America, the fact was that under White rule they improved very measurably in the three generations between the end of Reconstruction and the Great Society. Since that time they are now stupider and less capable than ever before as a group. AFDC has caused a level of dysgenic breeding perhaps unequalled in world history in terms of the drastic change in such a short time. The slope is very sharp (Delta V over delta T and all that) and the consequences very visible.
You today have a black elite of perhaps ten percent of the black population capable of functioning at white levels, another ten or fifteen percent who are at least not much trouble, and three-quarters completely incompatible with life in any Western civilization. The mean IQ of what I would call “the black underclass” is probably ten IQ points lower than it was in 1964.
Sterilization seems to me to be the only answer, as repatriation would imply that there is a place for them to go to. There isn’t. They don’t fit in to any African country, because they are not part of any particular tribe. And I think extermination just isn’t in our nature as Whites. I for one have no desire to go in that direction, and for all the bluster I doubt there are few readers of this blog that really would either.

Soooo, everyone on this page is going to disregard the economic recession and how in the past 2-3 years many of these cities have seen economic growth?
