Blue State exodus

If you were to believe the conventional wisdom constantly espoused by the media, you would believe that the suburbs and the south were populated by droves of white racists; practically klansmen without the robes.

But how is it that affluent blacks are leaving the cities for these racist enclaves and there isn't even a cross burning to celebrate?


Affluent African-Americans are leaving industrial cities for the suburbs and the South shifting traditional lines between rich and poor, according to new study.

Their migration is widening the income gap between whites and the inner-city black population who remain behind, while making African-Americans less united as a group and subject to greater income disparities.

Roderick Harrison, a Howard University sociologist and former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau, said: 'Reverse migration is changing the South and its race relations.'

He said a rising black middle class is promoting a growing belief among some black conservatives that problems of the disadvantaged are now rooted more in character or cultural problems, rather than race.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's what conservatives have been preaching for decades.
"Promoting a growing belief"? Maybe Dr Harrison can explain how it is that for all the racism in this country, how is it that many blacks can achieve and be successful and feel totally comfortable moving into primarily white, conservative areas and these people don't care.

What's most hilarious about liberals is their unflinching belief that they are so much smarter than any conservative.  Yet the concept above seems so foreign to them. Exactly how smart is that?

Consider this. In the past 40 years, the south has become populated with relocated northerners, has become more conservative and decidedly less racist.
Maybe that says more about democrats than conservatives. Read more:
