People living where they want to live isn’t segregation, it’s clustering.

People living where they want to live isn’t segregation, it’s clustering.

On public transit the other day, the bus driver got into a long, loud, extended rant with a passenger about how whites were moving into black neighborhoods (both driver and passenger were black). The conversation was triggered by the sight of a woman whose car was parked in some temporary zone and she was trying to edge her way out of it.

"What's a white woman doing in this neighborhood?"

The route in question was along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Some lovely old homes are along that route, but many are in a state of disrepair.

Both driver and passenger entered into a spirited discussion about whites moving into black neighborhoods. "Gentrification, it's called," yelled the bus driver.

"Blacks will have nowhere to go, where do they want us to go, Pittsburg, Antioch?" "It's a CONSPIRACY, I tell you!"
