The noive!
What do they call it when Latinos flee an area? Hispanic Panic?
Those suburban counties are far more racist now than they ever were when they were (in the fevered imagination of liberals) home to nothing but active-duty KKK members.
Insofar as "better, safer" implies areas which tend to vote Republican (it does) and "racist" implies areas which tend to vote lockstep liberal/Democrat (it does), just look at the recent county-by-county voting patterns in the Atlanta metro area, and you'll see how far those suburban counties have devolved - while others, much farther out, are thriving.
For now.
Besides, if Whitey is the root of all evil, as the article wants us to believe, then White Flight should be a good thing for the affected areas, right? It sure was good for Detroit and dozens of other once-livable cities.
I lived in Snellville and then Duluth between '94 and '03, the changes were pretty drastic in that 10 years.
I don't think I've heard the term.."non Hispanic white" before...
I don't know Atlanta. How far out are these suburbs?

I just bough a house in Gwinnet county in July. The differences here are more socio-economic and class related than race related. My Zip code, 30084 is the fast increasing average home price zip code in Georgia. My neighborhood has a number of Hispanic, Asian and blacks families. They are just lie everybody else. My wife and I took a walk yesterday and it seemed like the whole neighborhood was outside with their kids or working on their lawns. Good middle class people being neighborly and taking care of their property.
The next neighborhood over is also mixed race but it's seedy. The grocery store smells bad. Kids seem unattended. Day laborers stand on the corners and there are three liquor stores within two blocks but no bank.
So the colors are the same but the people are different. Sometimes it's not about race no matter what the Atlanta Journal Constitution says.
Stupid statement that he probably doesn't even believe himself. This forced-upon-America "diversity" IS causing chaos in our communities. I see it widespread in California towns.
If we had a government that actually enforced immigration laws, we wouldn't "need to learn to cope with these issues". Our government has failed us.
Sorry, but I don't consider "equal" Americans who have spent their lives following the law, paying taxes, contributing to their communities, to border hoppers who spit on our laws and devastate our infrastructure while we pay the bills and try to "cope" with the mess they bring to our lives.
This is complete B.S. I am a so-called hispanic, and I would quickly get the hell out of any area were hispanics are the majority. It has nothing to do with race; but with behavior, culture, and economics.
When I was a kid, my mom and I often stayed with my grandparents in El Paso, Texas. My dad was in the Air Force and was often overseas.
The neighborhood was nice, not affluent, but well kept and clean. The houses were well maintained, and the yards were beautiful. It was a friendly place with a lot of kids my age.
When I returned to El Paso on a business trip, I decided to stop by the old place. I had not been there since 1968, and I was anxious to visit and take some pictures for my mom.
When I drove my rental car onto the street where my grandparents lived, I was shocked.
Every house was run down. Almost all of the trees were dead. Not a blade of grass was to be seen among the formerly emaculate lawns. It was nasty, squalid, and downright ugly. Paint peeled from the houses and shingles dangled from the roofs.
It was a disaster zone.
White flight, baby. I guess it was the fault of the white people who ran away from the neighborhood.
It’s not white flight as much as affluent flight.
People with the means will always move to places they perceive are better for them.
