Segregation and income disparity has been greater in Midwest than the South for years. The Census Bureau data shows that Chicago and Milwaukee were two of the most segregated cities in America 20 years ago (and are still today). African Americans households in the South, had higher incomes than in the Midwest for at least 10 years.

Further, there has been a net migration to the South (in the 90's, incomes grew more for both whites and blacks in the South than probably any other region).

re:"No, I'm saying that the blacks in the south are now fewer due to the mass exodus, and probably competing with other people of more similar skill sets. Also, the blacks that stayed were probably more competitive in their local market than the ones that left - I have no insight into why this would be true. "
