White flight which happens to be worse in blue states than in red states. Hmmm... Democrats are more racist. Not surprising at all.

I want the USA to be a great example for the rest of the world.

BUT, wow, we have so many glaring problems.

Humans naturally group and identify by race. So you have to, many times, set aside instincts, and be a part of the whole more than you are part of YOUR group.

The HUGE religious divisions in Europe could become the USA's problem. Racial divisions is already a big problem in the USA........add in Religion, OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!

I am not really talking about blue and red....I am talking black and white. All along my position is that the black "problem" of socioeconomic inequality is either the result of interference or its intrinsic to black nature. I really do not give a slit how you subdivide racism between blue and red.....it's still interference and regardless...those are the only two political options that blacks have in this construct. Yes...there is liberal racism too......you want a cookie or gram crackers and milk now?

OK... why do Whites flee Blacks more consistently and at a greater rate in locations that overwhelmingly vote for Democrat politicians? People try to claim the GOP is racist, but a much bigger problem with racist segregation is going on in locations in which people overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

Again...you seem to be guilty of an argument fallacy called the fallacy of composition. You seem to be assuming that what is true for the whole is true of all its parts. In other words, if its a blue state then EVERYONE there votes blue. Maybe in many of these places that you note its the red and white moving away from the black and blue in many cases, within the larger context of blueness. In other words, I do not know that what you are implying is THE GENERAL RULE or the exception to the rule.

There is liberal racism and conservative racism....there is no innocent political party in all of this. All of it works out as interference for the black collective.

Not at all. You're just bending over backwards to try to avoid recognizing the fact that those who vote Democrat are much more racist than those who vote GOP.

Have your feelings on the macro state of race relations in the US impacted your more personal dealings with people of another race?

Do you care?

On the micro level, mine have not, but on the macro level, I've definitely become more cynical and negative towards hood rats, protesters and race baiters.
No.

No I am not. I do not even vote democratic. You have not proven that the people moving away from blacks in these places are liberal, given the fact that there are conservatives in blue states just like liberals live in red states.

It doesn't matter how you as an individual vote. What matters is how those vote in areas in which schools are the most racially segregated.

Democrat voters are more racist than GOP voters. It's just the way it is...
