Why is there such a thing as white flight if no one is racist?

No one admits to being racist and its frowned upon, but yet why is there private schools when there are public schools kids can attend for free? And why is there not people moving into the hood and building nice houses on cheaper land instead of gated communities?

1. There are a lot of racists.
2. White flight is more about economics than racism.
3. Ever heard of gentrification?

Its called the middle class moving away from the trash. It happens everywhere regardless of race. Middle class and rich ppl don't want to live around trash of any color.

So why aren't people volunteering to have their homes burglarized, children teased relentlessly, and wives and daughters treated like shite? Good question.

Neither of the things listed has anything to do with race.

One of them is quality of education the other is because hoods have crime. Criminals come in all shapes and colors.

Hating crime and violence is racist now?

Because at private schools you learn when to use the word "is" and when to use the "are" correctly.

Black people who can afford to move out of the hood do so. Are they racist against there own people?

If you're looking at it from a pure economical angle, then buying a lot in the ghetto for 10,000 then building a house makes a lot more sense than spending 100,000 on a lot in a gated community then building that same house.
