This has been going on through out history. In the pst, white Protestants looked on in horror as Italian Catholics moved in next door. White Protestants kept Jews as far away as possible. Then when those groups were assimilated they looked on with horror as other ethnic groups moved in. Even with Mexicans and other Latinos—whites and some blacks were horrified as Latinos “took over” neighborhoods but I can tell you that in the poor areas around where I live, Latinos have upgraded the neighborhoods significantly and business is coming back to life. Same with blacks—the “six figure blacks” are better described as “assimilated” blacks—they are just as horrified as anyone else if some ghetto black or some white cracker from the hills moves in next door.
If you look at history without a “perpetual victimhood” mentality,
you’ll see exactly what you observed in your post.
It’s a matter of CULTURE, not COLOR.
In the summer of '70 a young but old school pre-civil rights era black doctor wanted to buy a home in our middle class neighborhood in Dallas. He went door to door asking and the neighbors said it was ok with them if he moved his family in. Strange, but it happened. All was good that school year and his kid became one of my good friends. The following school year, Dallas ISD decided that black students shouldn't go to their neighborhood schools because there were too many under-educated blacks and white students shouldn't be allowed to attend their neighborhood schools because there were too many better educated whites. That was my first introduction to crazy liberal thinking. I lived three houses from my high school and wasn't going to be allowed to go there until my senior year. Fall of '71 brought city-wide bussing of students across town from their neighborhood schools all in the name of desegregation and diversity. Funny, it can't be segregation when people choose to attend their own neighborhood schools but you can't argue with liberals.
Anyway, less than two years after the black doctor moved in, he joined the rest of us in what was called the "white flight" out because the ghetto trash moved in. We tried to get along with the blacks who were bussed in, really, we did. Maybe we were sheltered and didn't know any better than to get along but they were angry and who could blame them. It was so bad that year that they would literally lock us in our classrooms and pull down those big metal hallway gates. When the bell rang, they'd raise the gates and we'd have 5 minutes to get to class and down they'd come again and the new black asst. principal would make his rounds pulling on classroom doors to see that they were locked.
A couple years ago we were in Dallas so I thought I'd show my kids where I grew up. They were shocked and kept asking if I really lived there. Yes, my old house was there and all my friends' houses were still there and the back gate at the elementary I used to go home through was the same exact one but the area had turned to trash. How sad that where I once never thought a thing about walking over to friends' houses that now I was worried the car door was locked. Hey, libs, where are those "better" schools now, huh?
