This 50 year old claptrap has to stop. People didn't abandon their ethnic neighborhoods solely because they found black people ugly. This is kindergarten level discourse.
Everything is racist,
Everything is bad,
If a white move in or out,
It’s black folks who are had,
In times of trials or troubles,
Blame whites that’s what they’re for,
Blame them for you failings,
Or looting in your stores,
Onward race grievance hustlers,
Marching as to war,
Don’t let any black child escape,
From the plantation.
I’ve noticed they’ve begun intertwining two different narratives (race and nationality) to silence whites; anyone who has heard blacks talk about foreigners would realize there is hardly common ground - yet the left still tries.
Blacks under Trump have been able to see with their own eyes how foreigners consign blacks to high unemployment (as they do with every other American group); Dems are frantic to quash that discussion.
People freely left “ethnic” neighborhoods even where there was no influx of blacks. The GI Bill caused the first wave of flight as why would you be stuck in a two or three family old home when you could get a single family on the crabgrass frontier cheap with a low interest loan. In the case of my father’s neighborhood, his once German neighborhood became a Polish neighborhood when his grandparents moved in. As the Poles moved to suburbia, Portuguese immigrants came in. As the Portuguese moved out due to upward mobility, Brazilians and Ecuadorians moved in. This was ironically in a city that become majority black otherwise in the 1960s.
