Check Out The Extreme Racial Segregation In America's Biggest Cities (Colored map shows this)
Business Insider ^ | 09/22/2010 | Gus Lubin

America is known as the Great Melting Pot.

But a closer look at census data shows we're a lot closer to a dinner plate with the peas here, carrots here, potatoes here, and steak over there. In other words, a very high level of racial segregation.

This cool series of maps was produced by Eric Fischer, based on a map of Chicago from Bill Rankin's Radical Cartography.

Red represents white people, blue is black, green is Asian, and orange is Hispanic, and each dot is 25 people.

Detroit is no longer a livable city. It is in fact, dying. From a peak of over 2 Million people, what we have now is a city of about 900,000. Over a million have fled the city.

Close to 30% of the city’s residential area is VACANT.

Certain parts of the city look like a war zone and the new Mayor, former NBA great, Dave Bing is proposing razing parts of the city (where buildings are abandoned and in dis-repair) and replacing them with “green” zones.

The sad thing is this city used to be vibrant with life, business and culture ( remember MOTOWN ?).

That Detroit map would be more accurate if included dots for Middle-Easterns.

Hold on for a second and I’ll post the two side by side and more or less equally sized.

"I’d like to see how they match up with maps of high crime areas."

Just re-use the same map:

Highest crime=blue

Lowest crime=red (the occasional blue dot in a red area is a criminal)

>> why not use pink for whites, black for blacks, yellow for asians, red for American indians, and brown for hispanics? <<

I think you're asking a rhetorical question.

But in case you're not, allow me to answer:

The colors in question have been changed for the same reason that on the presidential election maps, about three election cycles ago the MSM changed the color of the Dhimmis from red to blue -- while they changed the 'Pubs from blue to red.

In other words, all for the sake of politically correct ideology.

You mean rich whites live in segregated communities of wealthy and lefty whites, asians, and token blacks and hispanics? Redlining in Chicago, I’m... I can’t even feign suprise.
Someone, get a map of Manhattan.

So, despite the best efforts of the re-education camps (i.e., government schools), people self-segregate.

Who’d have thunk it?

The resolution is not high enough. 2 blocks and you are in a different neighborhood in Manhattan.

not meaning to piss in yer punchbowl but a town like Colorado Springs which is 80% white and only 6% black isn’t much of a barometer on whatever noble canard this mapping is supposed to lament

If your town had the Demographics of say my hometown of Jackson Mississippi and showed no segregation then you could crow ...but why...like this is so damned important for what reason?

it’s only important if it means diluting whites in every way possible...no one will bitch about a black or hispanic town which segregates itself

another newsflash

it’s like this all over the world...England, France, Latin America

folks usually unless they are browbeaten whites...tend to desire to live amongst and marry and procreate with their own kind..culturally or racially

only in the west do we have this desire to end the white race and feel so ashamed by it’s achievements...not you personally but it’s a common theme amongst the left and weak conservatives

dominant races or cultures elsewhere feel no such compunction to remedy our minority status in their world

it’s why we fail with our borders, black crime and illegitimacy and even Islamic terror....they are different..non white or a minority religion too...a daily double in preference hence we now have a President who refuses to name them for what they are yet they jump...as they did today from Napolitano about how the new terrs are so much more diverse...they mean more “white”...yet they still won’t say Islamic terrorist just that they are Thank God Almighty more white...it makes them feel all better...they feel so bad chasing down and killing marginally white or worse...black raced Islamic terrorists...it’s just not right....we should just die for them I reckon...most of us being white and all

it’s a sickness worse to me than the mostly imaginary racism it purports to redress

Cleveland. There are a lot of dots in the lake. Each one represents 25 people. There are VERY few people living on houseboats off Cleveland. It's a bit tough in the winter. The algorithm must be messed up.
