What emptied the cities was forced busing, sending white kids to black schools and black kids to white schools...Put your first grader on a bus for a hour drive across town to a black school and the same with black students...Middle class black and white parents deserted the cities as soon as they could and left the leaches in the cites..Many black parents were insulted that the government thought their kids could only learn if they sat next to a white kid...One of the councilmen on Detroit city counsel came out and said as much...I will always remember his name as it was so distinct....Councilman Golightly... There were no more professional blacks in the community as role models, just the thugs....they owned their own stores, had their own middle class and upper middle class, but the government knew best. It happened in many large cities in the Detroit area, Pontiac, Flint etc...now these citys have been run by blacks for decades and the liberals run them all....gee isn't it great...

I knew about busing because some states were under court desegregation orders were still doing that dirty deed in the early 80’s. It is a crime to make people's children travel like that for school in a community they have no interest in. It was way too much stress and risk for the children pawns, too.

Mass. was busing Black kids in from the city to the suburbs voluntarily at the end of the eighties when we lived there. White kids, however, were not being forced to travel to “diverse” areas. The black children whose parents wanted to educate their kids outside the city, traveled long hours to reach the suburban schools. They also had special tutoring so they would not fail in school and get into college. It cost alot of money.

They also had magnet schools which tried to lure in white kids to black schools - it was like a special, mostly segregated school within a school. Political lefties did this with their kids. I thought it was like decorating a place with skin as the kids were not integrated culturally at all. They had no common culture or common ground unless the white kids wanted to play political and social punching bag for the black adults in the school. The kids were kept separate in values, hearts and minds and classes.

I am glad segregation era physical and legal structures were broken down although liberals were too mean to figure out ways to do it right and would not allow integration into an American-American melting pot which they named “white.” The biggest jump was section 8 housing vouchers and the destruction of liberalism's terrible ghetto reservations (concentrated housing) in the cities.

When my son was in middle school and they had just gone heavy in “multiculturalism” which is racist tribal doctrines they standardized and spread nationally, he came home and told me that I am the only person who does not believe that skin defines people. That is why I started studying what the elitists were up to. :(
