I googled the map, and actually, you are not far off with your joke.  I 
don't know if anyone else gets this but there is a TV show called Real 
Housewives of Atlanta(a take-off on Desperate Housewives??), or 
something like that.  I saw it when I was flipping channels the other 
day.  The participants are wealthy Atlanta housewives, and I believe 
there is one white housewife in the bunch.  They party and live the 
elite lifestyle-and I do mean elite..multimillion dollar houses in 
exclusive communities...I was rather disgusted by the whole affair, just 
a waste of money...but anyway, in one scene, a woman was talking about 
how she had just moved down from NYC, and loved it so much that several 
other of her friends are now also moving.  In a way, it is voluntary 
segregation, blacks returning to city where they are the majority and 
rejecting integrated cities.  Culturally, it makes perfect sense.  They 
have roots here, family here, and even the food has soul. ;)
