Most of them went to New York. South Carolina is unique in that it’s one of only two states in the country where it’s had a black majority population at one time. The other state being Mississippi.

It's not only the black migration its the fact a lot of white people here are not from SC or if they are their family originally isn't.

It would be interesting to see how it is currently. Many of my other Black highschool classmates who went to college left the state.

Makes all the Great Replacement racists look like the goofy clowns they always have been.

So the mixed race people on the census we are just leaving off (yes they are labeled on the older censuses , there were mixed race communities near Bennettsville, for example)

That last census is 24 years old. I wonder what we’re looking like now.

But according to Republicans, it's the other way around.

The only way SC remains Republican is through extreme disenfranchisement…

SC is Red guys. Get over it. Always will be. You dont like it? Move to shitty nyc like half of this great migration has come from (myself included). Liberalism is a disease and they ruin cities. Hence why we are all leaving to go to red states

Northern transplant to the south here - married into it. There's tons of us here, but transparently I am on HHI which makes sense
