You know, the old-school white middle class NYCers from southern Brooklyn, Staten Island, Bensonhurst, Morris Park, etc.

Why are they leaving the city in droves for LI, upstate NY, NJ, PA, NC, AZ?

The Koch-Giuliani-Bloomberg coalition of middle class whites.

Why are some of their children and grandchildren staying in the city?

While what the OP is saying g might be true, if he's going to pop out a statement like the first two sentences of his post, he needs to offer some proof it's actually happening.

...as if it weren't already painfully obvious...

Because schools make teachers that are White take mandatory ethnic sensitivity training, or lose their jobs, because they're White.

Because of the most extreme application of affirmative action where the only way a White Man gets a job is if there are more openings than the sum total of all other minority applicants combined (except for East Asians).

Because of selective enforcement of laws that categorizes any action by a White Man as a hate crime, and they will have the book thrown at them.

Because heaven forbid a White Man should ever need medicaid, or low-income housing, his application will get thrown directly in the trash, when other groups been living in projects with the full food-stamp, welfare and, medicaid combo for upwards of 30 years...

...shall I go on...?

But some of these white ethnic middle class folks are lawyers, car dealer owners, etc.

Do they need those types of government assistance?

No. Never. Absolutely Not!

It is completely impossible for such White professionals to get screwed in a divorce, get hit by a car, catch a rare illness or, suffer any fate, ever, that would exceed their income and savings.

It could never happen in like ever.

All of us White people inherited 2nd summer homes or yachts we can sell for a nice tidy little million.

...go buy the sodium-free chips cuz' I got plenty of salt for that agonizingly stupid question of yours...

Why are there so many threads about "old school working class whites"? It seems like an odd sort of romanticizing of this group

Because NYC's government is becoming too radical progressive/left and more fascist and authoritarian by the day for the old school liberal whites who were more centrist. All in an attempt to usher in Socialism and then eventually communism. They keep chipping away and pushing the radical progressive envelop ever so slightly.

Obama did do a lot to block white men out of our workforce. Read about it here
