    White flight is not about race. It's about the complete breakdown of community in Americas urban areas. Sure allot of the victims are black but that is just happenstance.

    I can expand on this, but most of you are idiots
    Honest question, how was the breakdown of community not related to, or caused by, racial tensions?

    Dude, I am 8 shades of drunk right now. Can I give you a reading list?

    In America it is colored by race, no doubt. But racial tensions are merley a symptom. Using the "other" is a convient excuse to move the tax base and stifle social mobility
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Well, I mean, I do have People's History on my bookshelf. But thank you for helping me find the relevant section in this 600+ page book (I don't think I even finished it).

    These are just to help you think about why there is a divide and how that divide shapes out looks on governance.

    A people history should be requried reading in all high schools, it was in mine.

    Dude. Wake up. Your neighborhood goes to ****. You are going to leave the first chyance you get. It doesn't matter who the criminals are, it doesn't matter why the property values are low, it doesn't matter why your insurance is higher to run a business. It is what it is. You are going to leave.

    And for that, apparently, you are a racist.
