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

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.

That’s not working in Reston. There are huge numbers of illegals camped out there. The high school there is swamped with central american illegals. they form an entirely separate school within a school. And now they have shifted into the majority.

Reston can barely field a football team anymore.

Wasn’t he in on the CNN fake Gulf War I broadcast? I’d be curious to see where he lives.
