Great Migration need not lead to white flight

As YOU had mentioned cities, I focused on the slumified, very Black city centres. As to a blacker North in general - well, yeah, Great Migration.

Possibly. Although the Great Migration is only part of the negrification etc. The list is AFAIK quite long and US members will know more :) Still, the abolishment of racial covenants in a 2014->1948 scenario indeed may be delayed by a decade or two. As to racial issues - the original thread has...

FWIW - the author said on AH that he is resurrecting the story.

Oh, yes! Weaning myself off my +2 litres of Coke a day habit (plus some mild drugs) brought my sugar down from 350 to 150 :) I thought that the main benefit of HFCS were votes from farming States? From having found some use for the glut of maize grown with subsidies? What professional sport...

E.g. in 1948 Coca-Cola and Pepsi were still sweetened with sugar cane sugar ...

I hope you don't mind I dragged it here. I lurk on AH as posting there would get me banned very quickly. Eeep! I envisioned clashes between shotgun armed militias under the banners of the Big Three ...

BTW - I looked up the Governor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Snyder#Governor_of_Michigan Interesting ... :)

Ten years, not twenty, before the push for Civil Rights kicks off. True that the DTs are not likely to vote UT Democrat - but would they vote UT Republican? Most?many? 2014 Republicans are raging poof fondling commies for the '48 folks ...

Yup. Politicians jump in with Federally funded assistance programs? To train the DTs, help them adjust to UT world? Also - re-educate them - in the Communist sense? In a country with 300M people - is keeping another 2M on the dole until they die a problem?

If I am reading things correctly - the start of wrecking the city with freeways - and serious damage to public transport - was under Republican leadership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Cobo

Yes, v.1948 is a city not yet wrecked by later events, starting with demolition of neighbourhoods to run expressways through them. It has an operational tram system! For those not yet banned/bold enough to post on AH-com...

You, are of course, correct. I used the example of Obama, e.g. of not being able to call him a "nigger" as the tip of the iceberg representing all such - ahem - diversity issues. BTW - besides the headquarters of the Big Three and the remnants of the car making industry, what else does 2014 USA...

Yup. Uptime politicians are just going to lurve those +2M (let us look at Metro Detroit) voters ... Voters who'll just lurve Obama ...

On AH-com there's a thread launched for this. The 1948 city (with fudged, yet unrevealed city limits) replaces the 2014 version. IMO the OP gives off strong pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows vibes concerning the city's prospects, expecting the 1948 city to thrive in 2014. I expect the...
