Well we seem to be attracting plenty of Brown “talent.”

They certainly got it right about blacks fleeing, but what what a joke when they say that how to fix it is a subject for another day. Abandon all the radically left policies that are pushing people, including blacks, to red states. That’s how you fix it.
