Thanks for the demographic map bev. Where do tyou find something
like that?. (click on my state, AZ, to see the breakdown) It's very
interesting with the density of the black population in the South.

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. ;)
