I know people are thinking of this on a racial basis, but is much more a class/economic basis where its ideology versus pragmatism. The reality is people who have higher economic status have learned to demand results for their hard earned money. If the current gov't of BR is not going to produce those results and tell these people go form our own city, then they are going to do that because they are producers and expect results for spending those tax dollars.
And, to be fair, there are a lot of blacks who are leaving BR for LP, and AP for the same reason as whites do, to attain a better life for themselves and their families than the BR gives them, and that falls directly at the feet of those self destructive policies and mentalities that have destroyed the city, and proven time and time and time again to be utter failures.
When you care little for truly educating your children and giving them a chance at a better life to break long held cycles of self destruction, and you refuse to actually tackle crime head on, and allow your own city you live in to crumble around you, what else do you really expect to happen but it turn into a third world condition?
The difference however, and the reason for this piece is the condemnation that whites receive for not wanting any part of living in a gigantic poo poo hole while not placing that same condemnation upon any other race for doing likewise.

Agreed and that is why I say it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with quality of life and security. It ultimately is ideology versus pragmatism. We have a bunch of ideologs running our gov'ts now, versus in days past there were pragmatist. Most people just want to be safe, take care of their families, give their children the best opportunity to succeed in life and see results for spending their hard-earned money regardless if its personal or gov't spending; regardless of their race. I personally do not think its any more complicated than that... Unfortunately, we have politicians now that will say and do anything to stay in power to exploit the system.
