An interesting discussion about so called "white flight" from the city of Chicago and how the left blames racism while the truth is much more complex.

One think I was curious about was the perception of "inner city, low income blacks" who are now causing "black flight" in neighborhoods like those discussed in the article. It seems that middle class blacks have no more use for those people than middle class whites did, it's just taken longer for them to act on it. But they are abandoning the urban jungle in droves now too.

"The dangers that, 50 years ago, caused the Robinsons’ white neighbors to move away are now causing black families to abandon South Shore. “If I was holding on to Chicago and something happened to one of our babies,” Mrs. Parks said, “it would crush me.” Rotella records that the net decline in South Shore’s black population between 2000 and 2014 was 12,790. (Its total population in 2015 was 51,451.) As of 2017, the Parks family was preparing to move into a new house in northern Indiana. There was nothing anomalous about their decision. Last year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that “[t]he city’s black population has fallen from a peak of 1.2 million in 1980 to fewer than 800,000 now and is predicted to drop to 665,000 by 2030."

The simple fact is that America's Democrat-run cities are going to be populated with nothing but the absolute dregs of society within the next 50 years unless revitalization occurs through a hard line on crime to reestablish the social fabric of our communities. Sadly those fools are barreling head-long the other direction as hard as they can and blaming Whitey for it all the while.
