What are the demographics now? What kind of shift will there be after this? What would you do? Is it racist? I think not, but I've been told white flight is racist.


Will there be white flight? The only white people left in ferguson are the cops.

The community leaders better hope none of these cops get killed trying to protect this community. If this occurs you will see white folk start showing up,by the thousands. Isn't it funny that we have so many white racist out there,but as for as I know I haven't see one group show up there.
Ferguson is done,whites will all go and tax dollars will dry up leaving plight. This is happening all over America even without this push. But hey,the Lawyers,politician s ,media and race baiters will get their fame and glory.

I don't feel even a modicum of shame saying I don't live in Louisiana because I didn't want to live around one group of people

I know people leaving NOLA and Jackson only to live around more white people but really less black people

White flight is such a misnomer. It's class flight. I don't see lower class whites moving to affluent suburban areas just to get away from blacks.



This is absolutely correct

Well Ferguson went from 73.8% white to 67.4% black in 20 years. If there is anymore white flight there won't be any white people left there.


Crime has gone up, poverty increased, and the entire neighborhood went to to the shitter. This not only happens in every black area in the USA but also the entire world.

Same here. It was one of the major factors in my wife and I deciding to move the family from Baton Rouge to Boulder a couple of years ago. The cost of living is a bit higher but the quality of life and public school system is much better. I can go for days without seeing a certain "group of people".
