[Buckeye McFrog]

In Pittsburgh the dirty little secret is that our black population is MUCH, MUCH SMALLER than the other cities commonly mentioned as hellholes. Even today 25% seems to be a fairly generous estimate. The iron grip that the unions had over employment in the steel industry just made it much more attractive to head to Chicago or Detroit if you were fleeing Jim Crow. Much more of the gainfully employed, socially stable white population has stayed within city limits as a result. Even though the city is Democrat our percentage of socially conservative practicing Catholics remains high.

However I see a distressingly fast growth in our “white trash” population that is suffering from all the same breakdowns that began afflicting the African-American community 4 or 5 decades ago.

Liberals have managed to wreck the city school system, which has accelerated white flight in recent years.

a lot of the problems with the Rat Run cities is that some of them have become majority black population...and these are not the middle class blacks or the well to do...these are the inner city, welfare depending, uneducated and uneducatable with little work ethic if any....

to be fair, we have an exploding white trash population in this country as well....so far, they are in the smaller cities and the countryside...not the rotting cities...
