All it proves is that people want to live in communities of their own choosing, where they feel mutual understanding and trust, with others of like thinking, ideology, or race.

Apparently, its cool and PC for BLM, but not for other groups

“...people want to live in communities of their own choosing, where they feel mutual understanding and trust, with others of like thinking, ideology, or race.”

It’s one of the reasons our integration west was so fast. People would come to a town, not totally like the town theology, and move down the road with people like themselves and start a new town. And there were many black oriented towns founded from freed slaves called “Freedmen’s town”, “Freedom Towns”, or “All-Black towns” many in Oklahoma founded inside the Indian Territory.

And in the mid 1800’s gold in California and silver in Nevada ended up creating and closing many towns. Las Vegas was one of those towns that stayed mainly because they had water there. The Spanish originally built there and it was not a lot more than a street of brothels and saloons. The farmers and railroad came in and added to it. ‘Bout the same as today. The casinos came in starting with the first in 1907. And billions have been wagered since.
