Alice Singen prided herself on staying, even as other whites moved away from Ferguson.

So, she wanted to prove that she was liberal, that she was not going to do “white flight” from a changing area.

Now she sees her town is not the peaceful integrated place she thought it was.

It would be interesting to see if we see an exodus of big numbers of remaining white residents there.

I’m sure the business owners who were burned out have decided to abandon Ferguson. Will the remaining responsible decent people be next?

I assume that most whites who still live there are trapped by circumstance - can’t sell house, unemployed, etc.

So I don’t predict a huge exodus. But there will be a slow one. When the first opportunity presents itself, people will leave. And I doubt many new people will move in....so attrition will ultimately play a hand.

Familiar story, happens all over the country. Liberals call it ‘white flight’. I call it refusing to share somebody else’s misery.

I'm guessing over the next few years more businesses will leave Ferguson.

Ferguson will be left with the scourge of violent black neighborhoods: payday loan storefronts, disability mills and places that sell beer by the quart... little else.
