That's the story in my neighborhood. We are pretty much a cross section now, some of everything. In talking about this with one Black neighbor, the saying emerged, "There is ONE color in this country: GREEN."
If someone earns enough "Green", they can live anywhere they want. He works hard, and brought up three really good kids. He moved out from the city decades ago, and refers to his former neighbors, who still huddle there and collect, as (The Collective Noun We Cannot Use.).
As a resident of Appalachia, I don't think so!
