STL’s white refugee syndrome
The St. Louis American ^ | February 12, 2015 | CHARLES JACO

Posted on 03/29/2018 8:38:06 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Caucasian St. Louisans are to white flight as Kenyan runners are to the Boston Marathon. Volumes have been written about the ability of white St. Louisans to empty out a region, or as a former colleague from Fox 2 once said, “Yeah, a black family moved in seven blocks away and my parents ended up in Ellisville.”

An entire library wing could be devoted to white flight in the Gateway City. From James Neal Primm’s 1998 Lion of the Valley to Colin Gordon’s 2009 Mapping Decline to 20 years of the Where We Stand reports from the East-West Gateway Council of Governments, entire shelves have been devoted to the mpbp (miles per Black person) fuel efficiency of area whites. But, with typical Midwestern modesty, St. Louis’s white people refuse to take any credit for the highest rate of building and neighborhood abandonment over a 30-year period in North American history, and instead defer all the praise to the area’s Black folks, who they say are really the ones responsible.

“HOW DOES it end?”

It depends on when. If soon, it ends with a few million dead leftists and muslims in the streets. If not soon, it ends with many millions of Jews and conservatives dead in ditches or lined up for the ovens.

NJ is a good model (and now STL among many others) to go on and see how this will play out in the years to come.

“It is very, very sad.”

Yes it is...

But the reality is that there are certain groups of people that simply cannot coexist peacefully together for very sound rational reasons, and there comes a time when physical separation that allows self determination of each group, is probably the best solution.

Groups that cannot peacefully coexist are

1. Those with cultures whose values are anathema to each other (Muslims and just about any other religion, marxists vs free marketers, authoritarians vs democrats)

2. Groups of people who have significant difference in AVERAGE IQ and whose members are easily identifiable as to belonging to one group or the other.

Generally speaking this would result into separation along racial lines and ideological lines.

The integration and multicultural experiment has proven to be an utter failure. Unfortunately reversing it is going to be very painful and difficult if at all possible.

Unfortunately it really is; nobody wants to be the last taxpayer left in NJ.

Same as it does in nature. One group dominates and the losers either flee or get slaughtered.

There are two errors in that list-—the stats on Newton,MA and Colonie,NY————neither place has ever had more than 100,000 residents.

If I could spot those there are probably more errors.

As a KC native, I have been baffled by much of STL over the years.

It seems like the hard working regular black families moved from E. St. Louis, IL to suburban Illinois while the welfare mess from East St. Louis moved to Missouri to augment the growth of the ghetto areas.

Same here in our northern Virginia suburb. It’s very “diverse”, except for the fact that one has to have a pretty good steady income to live here. That alone weeds out the riffraff of all ethnicities, especially since the town started enforcing code violations of unrelated and too many people living in the same house. The illegals couldn’t have their dormitories any more, so they moved across the county lines and took their problems with them.

I’ve maintained for years that class is the real divisive issue, not race. While NJ has some areas with sky-high rents far beyond my means (Hoboken, for example), for the most part nobody wants to commit 30 years of mortgage payments for a home/property in an area where there may be people with no stake in the area at all beyond a monthly rent payment - or a government rent voucher. The Founding Fathers understood this, and only let property owners vote - because in the end they had to live with consequences while others could simply pick up & leave.

“Affordable housing” requirements ensure nobody will buy homes in an area; here in NJ they break down that requirement BY BUILDING for some new constructions. Who would buy a condo when people across the hall are home all day while you go to work?

And of course Mr Jaco asked Akin the questions that saw to it that we’d have McCaskill as our senator. He was proud of that fact.

Read about Pruitt-Igoe, it’s all you need to know about St. Louis.

Re your post #22 on racial composition of safe and dangerous US cities:

“Correlation does not equal causation.”

Snort.

Maybe. But you can’t have causation without correlation!
