I wasn't saying you were. And I am not denying White Flight existed. Nor am I denying that race was a factor in some Archie Bunker-ish situations.

I don't know about these days, but in college the professors always painted this as a Grand Conspiracy by Whitey to take the money and run, and to intentionally ruin the people who stayed behind. This always annoyed me, and led to many heated arguments in classes, where I became the punching bag of shite guilt hippies.

Sorry, I was having flashbacks......ptsd....
