It comes down to "you can't legislate behavior."

Try to force people to send their kids to a certain school, they will move or send them to private school.

Lower the standards at public colleges, people will send their kids to better colleges.

Force integration, people move to the suburbs.

Social engineering, in almost every instance has failed (or succeeded, depending on your perspective and goals)

Gentrification is the opposite of white flight. You know that, right?

We can't live anywhere. We're racist for existing.

I swear the left in this country is intent on living out Atlas Shrugged without realizing the point of the story.

Cowardly White Flight?

How much you want to bet their are some black families that have moved from the shite holes too.

Also, when White people start revitalizing and remodeling areas once thought unliveable they are vilified for that as well.

Bottom line you can take your race baiting information and stuff it up your a-hole.

it's like they want white people to move back around minoriites in cities but somehow keep the areas as shitty as they currently are, so that prices remain low. so then you have to ask, are you trying to raise the lower class up or bring the upper class down?

Classic example of giving someone something they want, watching them frick it up and then them wanting what you have so they can frick it up too...

Novel idea here but try working to earn something, quit treating your vagina as an amusement park, and make something of yourself rather than going through life with your hand out...

So what do you propose, forcing all the white people to move back into the inner cities? Financially penalizing them for moving to the suburbs?

There's some argument there about the tax base shrinking as a result of white flight but remember, a lot of inner-city schools get Title IX funding to offset that, and they still suck. Maybe if you "charterized" every school and introduced wide-spread school choice, some inner-city public schools could become really good which could mean some white parents may send their kids to those schools because of the quality of the education. That would help address the issue.

No kidding.

These leftists, like yoga girl, are insanely racist.

if you want to make an argument based on money? OK fair point. that's an issue (even though i don't think it will matter)

but when you make an argument based on integration? yeah you're gonna be racist in making that argument

i've set up a few black, activist friends of mine with this argument. they handled it better than my white, rich, prog friends though (who flip out)

Hahaha,

You bring up yet another "problem" brought about by policies your people supported in the first place.

I grew up in areas and went to schools I would never want my kids to live in and attend. I want to protect them from the lack of respect for life, women, and family morals that is embraced by poor minorities. The problem is you look at everything in groups instead of individuals. I will do whatever I think is best for my family and every person in this country has that right. My children shouldn't have to suffer because you think it negatively impacts minorities.

Cowardly white flight? So whites should move to the ghettos and go to community colleges?

Liberals love to link everything to racial identity. Somehow, my being white, means that I have to consult the white people's manual on where to live and what school I should go to. This is all about individuals making decisions that are right for them - whether they be white, black, brown, or whatever... Everyone wants to get into the best school they possible can. Everyone wants to live in a place where they are comfortable - with low crime, plenty of jobs, or whatever.
