It’s crazy too, because these activists have decried “white flight” over the past decades, and “disinvestment” in cities, which have caused so many places to do downhill.

They opposed the actions which caused the inner cities to get to their current state, yet are also opposed to actions which would revitalize such areas.

You can’t have it both ways.

But, if these mayors fight too much against the private capital which they can benefit from, the investors will simply go elsewhere, and leave inner city Baltimore, New Orleans, Atlanta, et. al. in the same horrid conditions they are now.

And if that happens, I’m sure they will blame the investors for avoiding their cities, avoiding based on policies they themselves want to put in place to make it more difficult for these investors to do what they do.

EBR Parish School District is under a forced bussing ruling. (Only White) Children from all over the parish, (one district), are being bussed to achieve racial balance. Black children are given a choice of attending their neighborhood school or being bussed to the surburban schools.

If the white kids move into the black 'hoods, they won't have to be punitively bussed, so how can blacks punish whitey, then?

These activists want the money and other benefits of having middle class remain in the area to pay, but then not to have any say or influence in how the area appears/operates, i.e. they want your money and then for you to butt out.
