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.

Yep! Take a ride through oh-so-liberal Vermont some day. You will have a tough time finding blacks or Hispanics.
Vermont’s post card perfect towns want to stay white.

Because it is stupid and whites aren’t stupid?
Meanaholics.
Pretty much.
This must be our faults, I mean, white folks built fences around all those neighborhoods and won’t let them leave, right?
Never say you’re sorry for stating the obvious truth.
Really, that's the answer for it all. Do what you do for God's sake. (Not some ersatz, graceless God like Allah either.) Evil will start to be shown the exit door, goodness will start to be invited. Doing things for "humanity's sake" is asking for a cornucopia of distortions.
Short and to the point. Well done...

If you know anything about trees in the forests, they go through a process called succession. One species of tree will grow for a while, but then another will take over, and then the next. Then there will be a great fire and things start over.
When the all-black neighborhoods reduce themselves to post-nuclear-war landscapes with only a few residents remaining, developers begin to buy up the city blocks nearest the downtown business center and the neighborhoods begin another fresh up-cycle. Just like the forest.
It’s all whitey’s fault, of course.
Back in the day the black neighborhoods had middle class families, professional class families, as well as poorer class families. When housing discrimination ended the more functional people moved into the white areas. That left the less functional who could not afford to leave. This created a cycle of concentrated poverty. It’s not just blacks in these neighborhoods. Poor whites, Asians and Hispanics also live there. The more functional families get it together and leave. The ones who fall into the spiral of drugs, alcohol, gangs and the false promise of government dependency are all that’s left.
So you want them to act white? That’s what their overseers would say.
Why is it that whites have to do all of the understanding?
I grew up in Vermont. Went home last summer. I was surprised at how many black people lived there. Town of about 2500, but I believe they actually work at bringing “diversity” in to the town. Definitely not your urban “utes”. But, the town is so flippin’ liberal, I have no idea how my folks have stayed there so long.
I have noticed that for the last 50 years!
I guess this article was written by a sn*tn*se, wet behind the ears kid.
There is no amount of anything that would make me live next to, inside of, or in close proximity of a black neighborhood, been there did that, in the ‘60’s, in NEW ENGLAND!
