Over the past 20 years, whites and blacks have experienced opposite trends in segregation. Asians, Hispanics and blacks are moving into historically white neighborhoods. Vastly fewer whites live surrounded by just other white people. Whites look around and see multi-ethnic neighbors. They perceive expanded opportunity and integration because that is what they see. And they think everyone else is experiencing the same things.
But a Washington Post analysis of Census data shows that the experience in historically African American neighborhoods of major cities has been far different, as they have remained heavily isolated. Whites, Asians and Hispanics are not moving into those neighborhoods, and blacks who remain there experience persistent segregation.
Indeed, nearly all-white neighborhoods in big cities are now virtually extinct. Nearly all-black neighborhoods, on the other hand, are still commonplace.

So we are supposed to move to the hood?
Dunno. I’ll stick with living out in the country where I am now.
How is Jersey City between Bayonne and the Jersey City Medical Center (if that’s what it’s still called)? It used to be pretty monochromatic - has it changed?
A disproportionate amount of blacks want black only neighborhoods and they commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime to make their point.
Whites are actually moving into historically black areas in my city, and the liberals are very mad about it.
Can’t please them know matter what.
That’s because a cracker knows that if he moves into the hood, everything he has will be stolen, his women raped, and he’ll probably be shot.
A ‘person of color’ moves into a white neighborhood, he knows that as long as he keeps the yard nice and the music volume down, he won’t have any problem.
Tiny town for me. (Less than 100 people)
Uh, no.
They’re going to move the hood to you.
Next up from Chuckles Soetoro is neighborhood quotas.
Comparing ordinary buying patterns to Legal segregation is an outrage.
One is voluntary, the other was pure force.
But they have to stop white flight somehow, so the parasites have a host.
That’s what this is about.
Majority black neighborhoods are dangerous and dirty. Sorry, it’s the truth. Blacks that get it together move out, because they don’t like it either.
So just how do you get whites and yellows and browns to WANT to live in a crime infested cesspool? I know - Eric Holder can call everyone racists until he shames them into moving there. Or perhaps King Obama can sign an executive order requiring whites whose SSN ends in 3 or 7 to immediately move into the inner city.
No one inhis right mind wants to move to a black urban neighborhood for safety reasons. ... Including blacks.
Gosh, I hope I don’t lose too much sleep over my lack of understanding!
I don’t get it.
They have an EXTREMELY high tolerance of noise, filth and chaos, okay.
It’s my fault..?
It is my experience that they enthusiastically self-seggregate.
If a productive one moves out they decry this, accuse him/her of being an inauthentic black, whatever that is.

Gee, I wonder why? Must be racism. /SARC
BTW - 25 years ago, a black friend of mine & I were talking. He came from East St Louis. He told me I was naive about race. ‘If I took you to my brother’s house’, he said, ‘the only thing that would stop him from killing you is fear of being caught. He killed a white guy for being white and did his time in prison, and his fear of going back would be the ONLY thing that MIGHT keep you alive. I couldn’t.’
Why are the poor blacks poor and stuck in the “nearly all-black” neighborhoods if they don’t want to be?
Because they don’t want to leave the “security” of the democrat provided government plantation and or they don’t want to “act white.”
My little town has one black family. They moved here just because they can live their lives in peace. The oldest son is going to MSU and plans to be a farmer.
People with money and means will nearly always choose their own best interest when given a choice. The one thing I admired about Jimmy Carter is that he put his money where his mouth is when he stuck poor Amy in one of those rotten DC public schools. Most people would be like Obama, choosing self interest over anything but lip service to the “public good.”
Try, why whites don’t give a shiite about the reasons blacks do anything anymore.
