Yep, just pack it up and run. That is part of the problem too. As long as the money just runs away, the problems won't fix themselves. The states in the South (and especially Louisiana) have set up a system of education (private/public) that guarantees 2 classes of people. Anyone with a semblance of means, puts their kids in private schools and rejoices when politicians announce more cuts in spending (where the public education system is taking a beating). You can run from the problem, but don't complain about "them, over there" when you didn't do anything to help the community. Communities elsewhere are safe, and what you typically find they have in common are strong public school systems, where true integration happens, which brings up the quality of all the kids, that will eventually be then living amongst you in your community.

I don't think they need my help.

That is the difference in my position and most liberals that think the whole is somehow responsible.

You seem to act as if the communities can not fix themselves...I think they can. They just choose not to, therefore, if they wont help themselves.
