How the whitest city in America appears through the eyes of its black residents

In the above picture of Portland, Ore., from Dustin Cable's breathtaking Racial Dot Map, each blue dot represents a white resident counted during the 2010 census. The city itself is about 76 percent white, making it the whitest big city in the U.S. And diversity has been dwindling in the neighborhoods close to the center of town, as minorities have increasingly moved out to the city's edges.

The Whitest areas in USA tend to be most liberal.

“they should drop their “die-versity” bombs smack dab in the richest, Whitest leftist areas.”

Think Beverly Hills

Pacific Palisades

Malibu

That covers a lot of the rich lefties for Los Angeles, anyway.

” Boston forced busing.

The white liberals that forced that on Boston lived in the chi-chi lily white $$$ suburbs like Wellesley”

The judge who ordered the busing lived in what today would be a 2 million dollar home in Wellesley Hills. Iwas at BC when this happened. HS kids were getting stabbed left and right.

Forced busing wasn’t just in Boston. I was sent to inner-city schools in Nashville in the ‘80s due to the court order on forced integration. Ultimately racist (the belief that Black students couldn’t learn unless they were surrounded by Whites) and the very worst sort of social(ist) engineering which had the net result of causing the White middle and working class to abandon urban areas and the public school system (and hence caused a swing to resegregation from all-White to all-Black). Compounding that, the quality of the education deteriorated rapidly from pre-seg standards (especially for Black students).

Rather than attempting a sensible middle ground (such as allowing students regardless of race to attend their neighborhood school and making sure schools regardless of racial makeup received adequate funding) which would’ve been the most peaceful method and allowed integration to have occurred organically, said judges went full-on totalitarian (exemplified by LBJ judge W. Arthur Garrity, Jr.), and the end results are readily apparent. A premier example of why federal government intervention often results in disaster of epic proportions.
