Whites move away from high crime areas dominated by blacks.
Yep. And by committing crimes they are driving whites away, thus segregating themselves. Also if you look at a school that has a mix of races you will notice that the black students tend to mostly associate with other black students.
I grew up in NC, started school in 1965 the same year the schools were desegregated. some of my beat friends from school were the black kids who lived down the road. The adults got along good as well.
Of course, this was in the country, not the city.
New York, where 64 percent of black students attend schools with few, if any, white students, according to a recent report by the Civil Rights Project. In fact, the Northeast is the only region where the percentage of black students in extremely segregated schools -- those where at least 90 percent of students are minorities -- is higher than it was in the 1960s. Schools in the South, on the other hand, saw the segregation of black students drop 56 percent between 1968 and 2011.No surprise there, but there's no way to campaign on that. Seriously. Gentrification [sic] of NYC has continued as property values have worked their way up and up and up, and the number of private schools has (if memory serves) risen at an even higher rate. I guess Connecticut ran out of four acre parcels.
There was a lot of truth to that. In the days of Bull Conner, I lived in a solidly middle class neighborhood. The very next block over was the black section. Brown, unpainted wooden shacks, no grass, and a lot of Cadillacs.
The very next block over.
It’s not Dixie’s fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault. Including when they were in charge of Dixie. Think about it. Every state or region that has or had racial problems had or has Dems in charge.
Before arthritis put an end to my playing golf, I used to joke that the other players should pay my greens fees. That way when another golfer badly muffs a shot, he could point at me and tell his laughing partners, “Yeh, well at least I don’t play as bad as him!”
I’m from Mississippi and I’ve never lynched anyone, never worn a white sheet, know no members of the Klan, but none of that matters. We could all learn to heal the sick and raise the dead in my state and it wouldn’t matter. The racial killings in Bensonhurst, Howard Beach & Crown Heights, the race riots in Detroit and Watts and L.A. don’t matter. The people up North, like those golfers, have to have someone they can feel superior to and we’re it.
I’m not excusing our past, I just wish to God the rest of this country would quit blaming us for their present...
“Yankees are the most arrogant and racist people in the country. Part of their arrogance is pretending that southern folk are more racist than they are. They’ll break out the Selma, AL tape when it suits their delusions, but you will never get honesty about their ghettoes!”
This is absolutely true; I’d go as far to say that Northerners are actually worse in this regard. They protest and moan, then run back to the safety of their upper-class suburbs and gentrified neighborhoods that are simply to expensive for large numbers of...uhhh...”undesirables” to rent or buy into. This is why Bamm-Bamm’s neighborhood plan won’t work and it will be ignored/defunded. Integration is a great concept until it buys a home next door. This is very similar in concept to NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard).
To call them Ignorant is sort of wrong, they know exactly every avenue to use to get to their next Entitlement Freebie, they know all the lies that will suffice, they know all the people's names & soc. sec.# they can substitute. etc.etc.etc.
It also takes a lot of time and energy to RIOT, but they sure have that down pat.
Is that ignorance? I don't know, but it sure does take a lot of WORK to get that done. We are the dumb ones for letting it continue.
The black educators of the old days followed the advice of Booker T Washington, who preached education and upward mobility through business and property ownership.
He believed if blacks become prosperous in business, white society would be more accepting of them as the black middle class grew.
Unfortunately, he died at age 56 or so and no one took up his cause with the same vigor and enthusiasm.
W.E.B. DuBois and the northern whites backing him were successful in portraying the NAACP as the voice of the Negroes.
It has been a slow downhill slide that has now become a headlong rush to a dead end.
I wonder how he would feel if DuBois could see the outcome of his efforts.
Saw it, first hand, and close up at the time...

The South is used to racial integration and interaction. In my experience, having lived all around these United States over the years, that it is the folks in the north, especially the northeast, who who don't like integration. They'll be in for a real shock when the value of their homes plummet when Obama's HUD minions force some subsidized Section 8 housing to be built next door to them. Out here in the country, people don't seem to care, or at least, don't make a big deal about living among various races.
Obama’s planning to fan them out again, get ready for the next crime centers to appear.
In the South you live and work with people of all races. When a Southern is racist (no matter their color), they don’t hide it. When I lived in the liberal Boston area...not so much or not at all.
I like the South. Still a lot of Christians (of all colors) who act like it to one another. They still do service in a big way and it is of the Christian type that heals the poor and down and out - a hand up so hand outs are not necessary for so long. We do have our liberal attention whore characters and bad guys as well.
I did not like living in the Northeast. We lived in a white wealthy area which was super safe for the kids/no crime. I liked that. The political correctness choked me and the snobbery of the newly rich was off the scale. They used environmental protection laws to keep the riff raff out of their towns. Seemed blacks liked the segregation in their own neighborhoods and were big into the NOI type thinking. They were openly racist.
I remember in the 70’s when Boston was having problems integrating the schools. My Dad said that they (the Yankees) came down south and made us do it, he “thought they had already tried it and made sure it worked.” I’m positive he was being sarcastic.
This is not a well thought out plan...it dilutes their voting power and isolates the most hard core base constituency the Democrats have.
If I was black, and I heard HUD proposing this, and I watched the Democrat leadership support it...
my reaction would be “Damn, turns out we’re the Kulaks!”
