Just because certain suburbs are trending blue doesn’t exactly mean they’re woke to the racial politics that have long plagued suburbia. “White liberal suburbanites have played a critical role in the process of housing segregation and the resistance to low-income housing,” says Sugrue. “We can’t just think about it as torch-bearing angry white supremacists. If they were the only obstacles to equality in suburban housing, we would have come a lot farther than we have.”

Wow...you want to protect your nice community from government-mandated ghettoization, blight, and high crime and you are a “ torch-bearing angry white supremacist.”

I’d like to hear what else the author thinks about me, but I’ve got other things to do with my time. I have a pretty good idea where Politico stands in this issue — cede all of your local zoning refs to the federal government because they know best what your town should look like and who should live next door. If they had their way we’d all be welcoming millions of new uneducated neighbors from Africa, Mexico, Central America and MS-13. Just look at the MS-13 problem in the Maryland small towns for a taste of what the ComDems want us to all enjoy.
