Reserve that judgement about racism. > Hmmm. (1)Middle-class blacks try to settle in a middle-class white neighborhood; (2) The middle-class white go bonkers because there are blacks nearby; (3) The whites begin to leave the neighborhood; (4) property values go down, not because of the blacks who enter, but because of the whites who leave; (5) with lower property values and cheap housing, lower-class blacks move into the neighborhood; (6) the neighborhood deteriorates, inspiring more whites to leave (and some blacks leave, too); (7) observers see white flight as an effect, not a cause. It really is a shame. There are many hard-working, conscientious blacks out there (some are middle class, too) who really want to participate in the "American Dream," but the whites are too scared of them. And as far as riots go, look no further than post-game destruction a la Madison, Wisconsin, where people (mostly young white men) set fires, overturn vehicles, and so on. Most of them are lucky enough to wind up in suburbs, so they can exercise their aggression while at the comfy job or on the road (in the SUV). But the Blacks are perpetually stigmatized; if one black acts up, they're all bad. When white boys riot, they're just boys; when blacks riot, they're evil, and their manifesting a "cultural" trait. Sad, sad, sad. Have we forgotten that lower-class Irishmen and other white ethnic were famous in Milwaukee for their riotous lifestyles? Remember the Third Ward, anyone? But they were white, they eventually blended in, their kids and grandkids assimilated, and now life is nice in Greendale. Too bad we can't allow blacks the same promise.
