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.

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.
