And it’s not only white flight. Minorities who are productive members of society and want to live in a better area flee the cities too.

Because of political correctness, it’s hard sometimes to talk about the problems of the cities. But it’s not so much racial as it is that the cities have critical masses of people who are :

uneducated, unemployable, unable or unwilling to live in civilized society, youth gangs whose “job” is criminal activity, the homeless, many of who are mentally ill, baby mamas, poor people.

Can we ask Obama or other good Democrats about the war on poverty, and what their exit strategy is? That war was started by a good Democrat, Johnson, along with a heavily Democrat Congress. Hubert Humphrey declared we would eradicate poverty in 10 years. We’re way off that schedule, with no end in sight to the war on poverty. Poverty won the war on poverty. It’s not so much a poverty of money as a poverty of values and upbringing. Such a tragedy, such a waste of human life. And Democrats are never called on it.
