what you are seeing is border gentrification by Gen Y folks and white homosexuals in urban areas they desire

cheaper and risky but worth a try

in cities done for like Jackson MS, Memphis, Detriot, Montgomery, etc....white flite continues (and high income black flight)

in some areas it’s over, all that can leave have

like South Africa

I can tell you Atlanta is confusing

Buckhead and Midtown....once white areas have become mostly black roamings at night and the whites go further out

White population growth in Atlanta and San Francisco is probably due to gay gentrification of old Black neighborhoods.

I wonder how illegal aliens (oops, sorry, “undocumented workers”) fit into these numbers.

Many of the English in South Africa have already left. However, the majority of the Afrikaners are never going to leave. They have no home to go to. Africa is their home since they’ve been there for almost 400 years.

The odd thing about the White gays moving into what were once urban Black strongholds is that the new race wars inside the Democratic Party aren’t getting any press.

But I can tell you that Birmingham is seeing Black Democrats battle gay White Democrats for political power at the City Council and State Rep level, and it isn’t pretty.

Very racially charged internecine political warfare...you can’t avoid it, yet it gets ZERO mention in the news.

"There’s section 8 town homes being built down the block from my new home. yeah...the neighborhood is thrilled."

Which is why *zoning* is a waste. The bureaucrats will zone out putt-putt golf and bowling alleys from your neighborhood, but won't forbid Section 8 housing.

Ask 'em why you can't have putt-putt in your nearby park and they'll claim that they are "protecting your home values," though!

Oy vey...

"Mr. Newsom says. When that happens, “we lose part of our soul, brother.”

Actually - the Leftist Politicians need their black plantation hands to retain office by promising the leaches a better life...

Of course - it never happens for enough of them...

I live in the burbs now, but would love to move back to the city.

My job has taken me to the downtowns of lots of cities, Boston, DC, Manhattan, Chicago, Baltimore, Dallas, and a few others. The streets were clean, the air was clean, and I didn’t see any cars with broken windows scattered around. Your discription of a city sounds like Baghdad or something.

Bottom line, I live in the burbs because it’s cheaper. Homes are less and property tax is way less.

Could not agree more with your observation. Most cities, at least in the Northeast, lost a lot of their “souls”, and tax bases, after the riots in the 60’s.

Sure...Millions of smiley-face middle class whites are lining up to buy three-bedroom Victorians for $2,000 in the lovely city of Detroit. They look forward to sending their kids to crackhead public schools, paying bribes to crooked bureaucrats, driving their cars into open ditches called potholes and watching the clown circus at city hall. And they can’t wait to drive 50 miles from the big liberal city to their jobs in exurbia.

There is nothing more hostile to families with children than liberal cities. Seattle has more dogs than kids.

These smarxist growth propagandists are licking some very potent frogskins these days. Idiots.

There are plenty of reports of gang violence south of the border. According to this Daily Telegraph Article:
Since January, more than 1,300 people have been killed in execution-style hits or gunned down in fire fights, which often rage for hours in broad daylight and turn residential neighbourhoods into war zones. If the trend continues, 2008 will top last year's toll of 2,500 deaths in drug-related killings.
You don't hear so much about Americans at the Border. Too bad.

Americans are regularly abused. According to this article entitled US Warns Tourists of 'Small-Unit Combat' at Mexico Border -- Murder and kidnapping of Americans has become routine all along the US Mexican border. According to the State Department sometimes heavily armed attackers wear the uniforms of the Mexican police or military.

If there is silence about events at the border. The silence about killings north of the border is deafening. And yet....

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says Think about it. A man or woman killed in Iraq or Iran in the line of duty is a hero. But what is an American killed at home by an illegal alien because the government has failed in its sworn duty to guard the borders. This is a pact between the sovereign and the person has paid taxes and loyalty. The answer is to that question is pretty awful. And it bodes ill for the republic.

But is it true?

When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.

Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%

Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Wanted for Murder in New York City.

Chicago wanted for Murder


Philadelphia wanted for murder

San Francisco wanted for Murder


New Orleans wanted for Murder

Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.

Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans--but by no means all -- being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.

Why isn't there an outcry in the black community? Beats me.

Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

To look at other USA cities go here http://stlouis.fbi.gov/ and replace stlouis with the city you want.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. If you check the links you'll notice that its McCain who cites Chertoff. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.

However the number of illegals on death row is far lower. Sadly, so many small towns and villages across America have sent their warriors off to war half way across the world only to see communities fill up with illegal aliens.

Black Democrats battle gay White Democrats for political power at the City Council

Sounds like DC for the past 25 years. What did you think was underlying the "niggardly" outcry?

I'm beginning to think the hate and potential for violence within the black community was recognized and nurtured by the Islamists for decades.. They must see each other as allies with a common enemy..

In our prisons — States actually assist Muslims in their indoctrination of black inmates...

It appears the decades of cradle to grave welfare, affirmative action, set asides, lowered standards, quota hires and quota admissions, reverse discrimination, equal rights, political power, etc, etc, etc,....... have done little to “win the hearts of minds” of a large and growing sector of the blacks in America..

It was only recently - that most demanded to be referred to as African Americans! Most are at least 10 generations removed from Africa - and still can't or won't think of themselves as Americans...

Given the vote — they are far more likely to place into office the largest percentages of thugs, thieves, corrupt and incompetent rabble rousers in their district...
Simply look at every city with a controlling black vote and look at the level of corruption, decline and dysfunctional economy or slide in quality of life that results.

Then we learn of the level of racist hate being taught from the pulpit of too many black churches....

In total — it appears our investments which are mind boggling huge in the black community, has been largely misspent..

We should have learned by now, one can not make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.

What I’ve never been able to understand is why blacks fall for Islam.

Don’t they know what really goes on in Africa?

Do they even care?

How can they embrace Islam when Muslims commit genocide against so many of their African brothers and sisters?

And many housing authorities are tearing down their “projects” and moving the tenants into section 8 housing in the suburbs. In Chicago this has freed up prime real estate near downtown that is being turned into luxury condo’s.
