Excellent post. I agree 100% with the entirety, especially that she needs to read Thomas Sowell.

That comment by Megyn Kelly about “white flight” being the problem is irritating and disturbing.

In his books, Sowell covers the issue of businesses that leave black urban areas because...surprise surprise, they can’t do business there.

They have to pay for extra physical infrastructure based security, they have to pay for extra human-based security, they have to deal with increased levels of crime, theft, etc. and all of that does not happen for free.

They won’t have good inventory or sales environment.

Someone has to pay for it, and if you pass it on to the customer, it means they are going to shop in a non-crime area for things with lower prices. Granted, they have to drive or take a bus to get there, but they will. Your business will go into a death spiral until you go out of business or move somewhere else.

Or, there will be a BS event like what has taken place in Ferguson, and you will lose your business through vandalism and tribal warfare, and will be lucky to escape penniless with your life and health intact.

At that point you will be branded a racist because you don’t want to support the black community.

When I hear someone talk about “white flight” in the context that is is the fault of the people fleeing and not the culture/mindset/business environment that makes them flee, it really pisses me off.

As if blacks with the means to do so, don't leave as well.
