Whites are abandoning Massachusetts cities at a rapid clip, continuing well-worn paths to the suburbs or out of state, according to new demographic data from the US census.
...The migration of whites out of communities has also left many public school districts in cities made up overwhelmingly of minority students. In Lawrence, just 6 percent of this year’s public school students are white. In Chelsea just 8 percent are, according to state Department of Education figures.
...The trend was strongest in lower-income communities plagued by violent crime and struggling schools. Yet wealthier communities like Beverly, Gloucester, Melrose, and Salem also saw declines, as did wealthy ones like Newton.

One more hot tip.
Buy a cop a cuppa, and talk to him/her about neighborhood crime rates.
They WILL NOT tell you that an area is a high crime rate area, so frame the question differently, bring a map, tell them you are considering moving to their berg and are looking for a good neighborhood to raise kids. Point to one of the areas you've prescreened and ask them to tell you about that neighborhood, follow up by asking where they, themselves would move.
You'll end up in the neighborhood with the best balance of lower costs and low crime rates good schools and services (and you'll have a bunch of police/fire neighbors)...
I'm white and I travel THROUGH Lawrence as quickly as possible. ;-)
Let’s have all of the Leftist employees at the Glob move into those neighborhoods that Whitey is moving out of.
I've seen the future.
It's beige...
Section 8, coming to your neighborhood.
They will.
That'll teach 'em.
It won't.
My next move is going to be rural, and we homeschool,
so thanks for the tip, I’m sure others can use it.
I didn’t realize that the Mass DIM/LIBs were such racist pigs. Shouldn’t they be co-mingling their communities with socio-economic and racial diversity leading to frequent kumbaya moments, smiling and love?
In MY neighborhood, I’m called “The TOKEN American”. It is convenient, my home town, and I plan to stay as long as I do NOT hear any of the following...
1. Loud, ANGRY voices in a foreign language.
2. Frequent police sirens. (Not for months now)
3. Gun shots at any time.
The majority of people do not relocate out of prejudice. A strong motivation is JUSTIFIED fear for family safety. People just speak of WHITE flight...how about statistics of the numbers of MINORITIES who, having the economic ability, join the flight from hell-hole cities. That would also be fascinating. Any story in the Globe is going to find a way to criticize WHITES.
“I lived in Boston for 20 years. When I moved out, I looked for towns that were at least 98% white. That was my number one priority. In a PC world, I’m not supposed to think like that — but I do, and I make no apologies.”
The problem is that with our nation’s current immigration policies, that’s getting harder and harder to do. Our current legal (and illegal) immigration policies are so weak and so oblivious to future consequences that we’re pretty much importing our own destruction. When you allow the equivalent of the Nashville metro area to (legally) immigrate into your country annually, the vast majority of which do not speak your language, have no education, come from crime-infested nations, and who share only minimal cultural ties, you’re going to have massive problems and massive balkanization.
You’re also going to see a massive drop-off in the performance of your public education scores. There’s a reason states like Idaho, Montanta, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New Hampshire have our nations top test scores. That said, those states are becoming increasingly diverse, as well. Massachusetts has been amongst that group of school systems that did well in the past, as well. I’d be curious to see what happens when you see the following:
“In Massachusetts, the number of Asians and Hispanics rose 46 percent, and the black population climbed 26 percent.”
By looking at history, you’d absolutely expect school performance to rather sharply decline.
I myself moved to a predominantly white school district after our daughter was fondled by a group of minority students, our son was attacked by that same group when he tried to defend her, and was subsequently suspended from school. We’ve moved to a 99% white district. No problems. And the test scores are astronomically better here.
How long does that last? *shrugs* By the way this nation is going, not long.
So the producers are moving out and the takers are moving in. Can you say....”Detroit”.
Well then, people just flee black culture/correlation. What ever. It’s effective tactic in a mobile country.
In some ways the negation of genetics in behavior, which I full agree, is even more damning.
Race has always been determined by physical characteristics...not port of entry. The term African American is ridiculous.
YourAdHere ~ I’ve always liked “Caucasoid".
Anybody who insists that I racially identify myself is blandly told that if you go back far enough, all my ancestors came from Africa.
But, we in the south are the racist mouthbreathers. (Rolls eyes)
My point is that you can use the correlation between “race” and culture in order to make moving and living decisions
without being “racist”, as defined by believing that certain genetic makeups are inferior or superior to others.
If someone wants to call me a “culturist”, I’ll own up to that in a heartbeat, then challenge them to defend the prospect that all cultures are equally valuable and that none is “better” than another.
Exactly! Throw in the liberal politicians and judges too!
In CA, I look for suburbs that are 80% white and 20% Asian (approx)—those suburbs have the top schools (well, as good as CA gets) and the best overall quality of life—
I wonder how much of flight this is caused by the ultra-rabid homo lobby that has been caught many times by Mass Resistance teaching kids homo perversions.
