California is a very weird place.
Most Californians view racial issues as a "south thing" or an "east coast thing", not their problem.
Even though in reality, California has a lot of the same issues as the rest of the country, redlining, and discrimination by police.
Black people know better though.  In the 1950s thru the 1970s, black people left the jim crow south for Cali.  Now for the last 20 years they've been heading back, and doing better for themselves in places like ATL.
