Austin's the Only Fast Growing City in the Country Losing African-Americans

[Frank]

I fail to see the problem...

"The overall Austin population exploded between 2000 and 2010, growing by more than 20 percent. But a University of Texas study [PDF] finds that Austin was the only U.S. city experiencing double-digit population growth that saw its African-American population not keep pace, but actually decline.

"Among the ten fastest growing major cities in the United States, Austin stood out in one crucial respect: it was the only such city that "suffered" a net loss in its African- American population," says study author Dr. Eric Tang."

Not even black people can stand bleeding heart liberals I guess.

I thought most of them are bleeding heart liberals?

Be careful, this could be considered a racist topic by some folks.

Austin = limousine liberals & hippie liberals
Lemme hold a dollar liberals need not apply.

[tribaltalon]

i would dare say the influx from commie-fornia probably far surpasses the wetbacks moving in. I can't fucking stand people from california. If I see one more flat biller with black knee high socks and dickie shorts i might just punt his nuts into the next county.

I would think any city LOSING blacks, is not a liberal hotspot.
