What do you think the next suburb to experience white flight will be? (credit, living in)

[bungalowdweller]

With the economy the way it is, I don't see anyone going anywhere soon.

I do! People will leave giant houses in the exurbs that they can no longer afford.
It's not the original question in the thread but it is a bunch of "anyones" going somewhere.

[whatever]

It's job flight.

i'm baffled. this country today is arguably more screwed up than any time in its history. we've acted irresponsibly and selfishly, much through the support of our institutions that put greed first.

We haven't been very bright. or nice.

With all our problems, if we are stupid enough to still live with and act by the notion of "white flight", there is no hope for us...and sadly none for our children who have had the intelligence to put race behind them far more the adults have.

I'll go out on the limb on this one and not give a rat's ass what the consequences are:

anybody today who cares what race anybody is is a total idiot.

Well, I guess the majority of this country are total idiots. Reality is that race will always be a factor until certain undesirable races start to take responsibility for their actions and stop laying their bad decisions on the rest of society.

So you have a problem with all Blacks, not just the ones engaged in anti-social, criminal activity? Are Black doctors, policemen, and teachers, also undesirable? I guess color of skin trumps content of character for promis1.

I've said it before, but it's pretty rare to see such openly racist comments these days. Most smart racists use code words to give themselves a degree of plausible deniability. Humboldt1, you wanna revise and amend your defense of promis1?

[Humboldt1]

Sokwoo is right.

Promis went too far. I cannot support bashing entire "undesirable" races.

There are "undesirables" in every race.

Promis,

Calling entire races undesirable is awful. I respect you have a right to your opinions but I cannot defend such comments.

a race that proves it performs more crimes, doesn't value education, relies on other races to pay for their children and themselves, has more children out of wedlock, etc. IS less desirable than the others based off of those facts alone. to argue otherwise would only endorse those kinds of behavior. we're not all the same. we're all different. that's what makes the world interesting and fun. if we were all the same it would be quite boring.

So its collective guilt day, huh? The sins of SOME blacks are reason enough to condemn all blacks. I suppose we should also blame the Jews for the crimes of Bernie Madoff. Also by that logic ALL men are a suspect group, since a minority of men are responsible for 99% of all violent crime.
