A retired person who moves to Florida; they're not escaping or fleeing, they are choosing to live in an area that is more suitable to their desires. If I choose to live in a place that is more suitable to my desires it's unfortunate, sad and despicable that my neighbors would move away due to false assumptions about me.

The most crime filled cities are not simply black populated, they are also densely overcrowded, high poverty, segregated with high unemployment. There are multitudes of black cities, neighborhoods and towns that have very little crime and are safe. Sadly, the way statics are grouped you aren't able to see how blacks truly live within and outside of metropolitan regions. And lastly, even if crime is rampant among blacks, I am not a criminal and I should be allowed to live where my dollar will take me.

Hardcore troubadour 12,906 Posted November 2, 2019 My life and more importantly my families life and well being are not part of a social experiment. I'll do what I feel is best on their behalf, and Michelle and the rest can fock off. The schools already suck everywhere because libtards got a hold of them. They ruin everything, if you hadn't noticed at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Americans certainly have work to do in cleaning up their own problems but it is really unfortunate when a family works hard to rise out of poverty only to find they are not welcome to live in neighborhoods their income should allow because of their skin color. Luckily, Atlanta is a place they can go and live in dignity. That is why I'm here. So, no, not every black person that leaves the ghetto wants to move into all white neighborhoods. Who wants to be bothered with hostile neighbors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,906 Posted November 2, 2019 Does Michelle offer any evidence of this modern day white flight or is she just saying it?

So if I move tomorrow, I am running, right? I mean, if I am white I am being lopped in with this trope......and that is just fine and dandy right?

peenie 1,701 Posted November 3, 2019 Let's not lose focus. The point was a great one which was, how can Michelle Obama discuss white flight when she herself moved out of a black neighborhood into a wealthy white one and none of the homes she owns is located anywhere near black folks, rich or otherwise. I had no problem with that criticism. I just felt calling Michelle an ape and a man and all the other nasty things I read, were mean and unnecessary. And not all black neighborhoods are shitholes. You all are just unaware of the nicer places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You all are just unaware of the nicer places. The problem is calling it "white flight". The very term is racist. As I pointed out earlier, nobody is running from blacks or any other ethnic group. They're cashing in on their equity and moving to better neighborhoods while they still have that equity. The fact that you (not you peenie) think that white people are fleeing because you (not you peenie) moved into the neighborhood is self serving and racist. ETA: The neighborhood I grew up in was 90% white. As were the schools I went to. When Dr. Harry Edwards moved into the neighborhood with his family, nobody fled. We all continued to live our lives in peace. Although, I will admit, we knocked on his door and asked if we could go into his yard to get our ball (foot, basket, soccer, base, etc) before doing it. So in that regard we showed him more respect than any other neighbor in the hood. It's not the color of your skin Peenie, it's the perceived content of your character that gives people pause. Sometimes that perception is unwarranted, sometimes it isn't. You can't blame people for basing their perceptions on their previous experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comparing the them from 130 years ago who drug themselves out of the slums by their bootstraps and black people who live in the slums now are not exactly the same thing.

Unlike the Irish and Danish and Jews and Italians, they didn't have to fight to have laws removed that forced them to live in segregation. As a matter of fact, if my memory serves me correctly, whites were given over 200 million acres of land for free! (Homestead Act) AND (neckroll) we also weren't allowed to collect on the GI bill like whites were even though we served our country. I am so sick of this attitude!!! It is not laziness!!! There have been impediments to our progress damnit!!! Geez...just look around at all the people who have such humble beginnings and are quite wealthy now. Those still stuck just don't have the helping hand like I had. How does it serve you to look down on people?? I don't look at those people that don't have what I have and think, oh, they're so dumb and lazy and I'm so smart. I think, their lives weren't as fortunate as mine and there but for the grace of God go I. Geez.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
