Im hope Im gone by the time any white reference, place, suggestion or person has been culled from America.

Third world status will be the norm.

Change it to White Flight and they’ll eventually be right.

I'm going to guess that the small vocal group pushing for the change are almost exclusively white women with liberal arts degrees.

I mean who truly offended by this? Have they gone on record?


I seriously doubt anyone is. My guess is the developer wanted it changed to the name of their $Billion investment that they are building for marketing purposes and used the offensiveness as an excuse.


They now have a bunch of baws from across the country talking about their new development that otherwise would have never heard of it.

They're changing it for one thing, money. They want to attract as much commerse as possible, historical significance or values be damned.

As someone who grew up in the area, I’ve never even thought of the suburb name in this way.

It’s just the name of a place. No further meaning than that. The best way I can think of to get my point across visually is it’s not WHITE Settlement but merely whitesettlement.

that's where the "travelers" hole up



100% that's where they roam. I lived in white settlement for about 7 years. First house the wife and I bought was there. The gypsies were absolute crooks.

White settlement is mostly low to low middle income housing. Inside the 820 loop is lower income housing and outside the loop is low middle income. The street the wife and I bought on was predominantly white but when I go back to visit a former neighbor, the houses that have sold, are black and the majority of the houses are rentals.
