How Come No Majority Black Cities Made It On CNN's Money's Top 100 Best Cities To Live In For 2010?

I was checking the racial demographics of the top 100 best places in America to live in for 2010 a list compiled by CNNMoney.com, and not a single Ebony city made it on the list. Why is that ? Why were predominantly Black cities not considered desirable enough to make it on the list ?How Come No Majority Black Cities Made It On CNN's Money's Top 100 Best Cities To Live In For 2010?
It was one reason,racism,pure racism.Many major black cities are excellent places to live.
The CNN/Money Magazine list is "The Top 100 Best Cities to Live In (America's Best Small Towns)". There are 21 cities in the US that are predominantly black and only two of them fit the criteria set forth to be included on the list- Tiffin, Ohio and Flint, Michigan. The other 19 are all major cities with populations far too high to be on a list of "best small towns". In reality, there are several cities that are predominantly black that made the recent annual "Top 100 Most Livable Cities" including Atlanta, GA, Savannah, GA, St. Louis, MO, and Harrisburg PA. So, your attempt to be racist and argumentative doesn't even make sense to other racists. Congratulations!How Come No Majority Black Cities Made It On CNN's Money's Top 100 Best Cities To Live In For 2010?
Because years of segregation and discrimination has made it difficult for a majority black city to be on any 'money' list.How Come No Majority Black Cities Made It On CNN's Money's Top 100 Best Cities To Live In For 2010?
I think Jessie Jackson should put CNN on his list of racist organizations.
The best places to live are the least diverse.
Sorry you made a mistake, this isn't Stormfront.
high crime rates.lots of traffic (drug trafficking that is) and a very high unemployment rate.
Shouldn't THAT tell you something, not about the COLOR, but about the CULTURE?



Many are confused at people that show reticence in dealing with people of color (even if they are white color, because that is also a color), and we do not realize the problem exists with the CULTURE and not really with the COLOR.



I find Asian people (as a matter of an example) living in the US, Canada and/or in Europe, and it is hard for me not to segregate them into a particular niche - aside from us - not really wanting to be part of them. Not because of ME, but because of their CULTURE.



In this particular example, they wear turbans (or other out of place garments), long bears, out of place dresses, refuse to use English when talking to their own mates - and this in front of other English speaking people - but instead they use their own language (this is not only lacking in taste but vulgar, to my standards), have no knowledge of anything our system stands on and comes from (culturally, historically, socially, etc) .



Most of them look like foreigners living in this country but carry our Passport, and we call them - erroneously - Canadians, British or Americans, but really, they are not.



In regards to black people, the comparison might be a bit too much, but the principle applies; Hispanics can easily fall into this category.You can add to that the golden paraphernalia, the way to walk, some lingo (funny you asked, but Eminem IS a white guy, passing for colored).



It is not the COLOR - I repeat - it's the CULTURE.



I never thought of Keyra Phillips (CNN), or Don Lemon (CNN) as black people, and so of many, many more other colored individuals...Why?



Maybe it is time for the black comunity (and the Indians, and the Mexicans, and the...) to give serious thoughts about our CULTURE, and look at the elephant in the room. Are we Americans, Canadians, British or what? WHAT does it mean to be one of these? Think about it.



But that's my opinion, only.
