I have traveled all across this country and see similar things happening to small towns all over. It has NOTHING to do with whites or blacks, it has to do with lack of employment for the young people living in rural areas. I live near a town with similar issues. The lack of jobs for young people is a pandemic all across this nation. Kids graduate from school with NO HOPE of finding employment in their home areas and hence, leave to make their fortune somewhere else, thus leaving the “older folks” to keep the home fires burning. As these older folks pass on, the towns gradually begin to die, stores close, etc. Unless businesses build and/or startup, provide opportunities, etc. in these small towns, the eventual will happen

The long-term plan in this country is to empty the small towns and villages and to concentrate people in cities where they will be manageable...leaving the rural life to the elites. Think 1850’s England.
People in the cities will be virtual slaves of their political masters, for by hyper regulation there will be no opportunity and only payola and influence will provide food and growth.
Yep; the Highland Clearances.
