Michelle obama has lived a very privileged life throughout her adult life. She has never been in a position of losing value of her home because of trash moving into her neighborhood. She doesn’t know of what she speaks.
Seems to be some black flight going on in Los Angeles. When the Mexicans and illegals starting moving into the hood, the blacks, a lot of them started moving to the inland empire, etc. The Mexicans, coming from Narcoland aren’t afraid of the hood and they are taking over, schools, hoods, etc. What goes around comes around......fool.
that was my life in baltimore city public middle school 1974-77...
not so much in high school.

Way way back in the day we lived in a “changing” neighborhood when I was a kid, sometime in the 1-3 grade range and the black kids would block the sidewalk when I was riding my bike, stop me, and beat the crap out of me because....I was white. I guess. Sure couldn’t think of any other reason.
We didn’t live there long after it started changing, maybe 3 months but I remember a load of beatings to the point I stopped going outside. We’d of probably moved sooner but it was a financial thing.
There was nothing to be done. Cops wouldn’t touch it and it got ugly the first time my father tried to talk to their fathers. Don’t know details about the latter other than he came back all red faced and told my mother we had to move.
Probably more tribalism than racism but regardless there was no way we could have stayed.
Today, "white flight" is driven by the implicit understanding that blacks will always be given favorable treatment under the law and in the public discourse whenever there is a legal or political conflict between two people of different races. Tawana Brawley, George Zimmerman and Juicy Smellitt are just three examples of situations where this was borne out.
If you already know you will not be given a fair shake under the law when dealing with someone of another race, ethnicity or gender, it's only natural for you to minimize your dealings with that race, ethnicity or gender.
Hmmmm. Everywhere they go turns into crap n crime. Why would anyone swith kids stick around and watch their biggest investments get destroyed? Not just whites, lady.
I was attending school in Houston TX at the time TX was ordered to integrate its schools. Before the order, our junior high school was about 75 percent white and 25 percent Mexican. One day a bus pulled up outside and let 6 blacks off, 3 boys and 3 girls. Within seconds of them getting off the bus Mexican boys and girls swampted them, and pounded the hell out of them. Whites just stood and watched. After that, cops would arrive daily to supervise the arrival of the blacks. But, after their rather hot arrival every day there were 1 or 2 less blacks. In the end two black boys continued to come for awhile. By the end of the year our school was still 75 percent white and 25 percent Mexican, and no blacks.
Hey Mooch, some people might like flying around in space with a Wookiee, but few want to live near them...
It's interesting that she presumes to know their motives, these people she's never even met...
...I want to remind white folks that y'all were running from us...
No. As you just claimed they were perhaps running from what was represented by the change. It isn't about race, it is about the types of change. Her assumption that race is tied to those kinds of changes is actually the real racism here.
Personally, my next door neighbors are a minority. BFD. They're great neighbors - I know this because I talk to them. He's a tech guy and family man too. They are the 2nd best neighbors we've ever had - and this is our 5th residence. Sorry, to get to #1 they'd have to beat being a helpful electrician and throwing a wild ho-down every fall with real southern moonshine and BBQ. Those neighbors back east set the bar pretty high.
If anything drives us out of our neighborhood it won't be our next door neighbors, it could be the {expletives} a few streets over. They have teenagers. They are not "good kids" nor are the kids' friends. There is a growing bad influence over in that area with increased petty crime. They are graduating from breaking into cars to a few garages now. One or more of them is/are going to get shot, probably within the next year or two if things keep going this way. Hopefully they'll leave mommy & daddy and move on and things will return to normal. If not... My wife is making noises like she's had enough of winters. It may be time to put in for that transfer to one of my company's more southern locations. Oh, and not that it matters one bit but these "not good" kids are not in fact minorities.
They didn't move back into their old hood in Chicago, now did they?
This woman is an overt bigoted racist against white people. Disguised as someone who matters.
A flip side to this coin is that Hispanics and Asians have no “history” with blacks, so do not tolerate those who are badly behaved.
In Los Angeles, communities that had been all black were “encroached” on by Hispanics, and when the latter reached a threshold, they started encouraging the blacks to leave.
Often they were assisted in this by criminal organizations, such as the “Mexican Mafia”, who were acting out of complex reasons.
Conversely, during the Rodney King riots, after looting and destroying their own neighborhood, many blacks headed into the Korean neighborhood to do the same, but met some resistance. They decided to return with greater numbers the following day. But by then the Koreans were “armed to the teeth”. So the blacks stayed out.
However, the Koreans had been “offended”, and so contacted, then contracted for a large number of Korean mob thugs to fly to Los Angeles to carry out revenge attacks on blacks.
There were several very violent, mid scale revenge attacks by them, before the LAPD intervened and told the Koreans to be more discreet about it as it was attracting unwanted attention.
1976 to 1979. Milwaukee.
I went to a highschool that had about 2100 students and about 35 blacks. There were no racial incidents at all. The blacks were just us with good tans. Even the greasers didn’t cause troubles with them.
Then in 1977 the court forced integration on us. We went from 35 blacks to about 350. Almost all of them bussed in from the ghetto. The school went from a nice place to a war zone overnight. It was no longer safe for a white kid to use the restroom.
The problem was not the skin color, It was the culture. They were raised to be racist thugs and we responded to defend ourselves. They did not know how to behave in an acceptable manner at all.
Our blacks hated the bus kids with a passion. Our black kids had it great, good safe school, they were liked, they had good friends, they were safe. Then the bus kids came in and destroyed all that.
The more these things happen the more apartheid looks like the right thing to do. The “black” culture is not compatible with mainstream American culture. We cannot co-exist.
Here is my 2 two cents: I believe blacks are not capable of creating or maintaining very basic civil society due to their limit in racial intelligence. Some of them are intelligent but the number of such a person does not surpass the threshold for them as racial group to thrive. If they leave them alone they will collapse. They HAVE TO rely on others for better life. Africa is the most resources rich continent but people there are the poorest.
I think when Eric Holder said he wanted an honest discussion about race in America he did not have in mind a discussion with Larry Elder.
Holder’s a racist punk, and a commie one at that.
As I have related before, I went to a high school in Brooklyn that was ordered to desegregate. To reduce conflicts the whites started school an hour earlier and were dismissed an hour earlier than the blacks. One day I had detention so I got out late. When I went to get on the first city bus I rode to go home it was packed FULL of black kids. It was standing room only and I was the only white on the bus. I held onto the overhead strap, my other arm was full of books (no one used backpacks at that time). All of a sudden the books were knocked out of my arm and a I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looked down and there was a compass (the thing with the pointy end used to draw circles) sticking out of my thigh. I pulled it out and looked around to see who did it. It was a mass of faces all talking and yelling. No one was looking at me and I couldn’t tell who it was. I picked up the books and got off as soon as I could. I walked the rest of the way home with a hankerchief stuck in my leg to stop the bleeding. I never told my parents (I didn’t want them to know about the detention). I treated the wound myself and thankfully it never got infected. In the end I learned a valuable lesson about things to avoid.
I know that 90% of the blacks in a nearby low-income black neighborhood wouldn’t hurt a fly — and might even help me if I had to change a flat tire. But in my own neighborhood of whites, I don’t have to worry about the other 10%.
It’s a cycle - neighborhoods with white families, the blacks move in, whites flee, crime rises, neighborhood and schools decline. After several decades, Starbucks, fags and pajama boys move back in with no kids.
Ask any retailer whether he would prefer to have a store in a white neighborhood or a black neighborhood.
