It would be great if this wasn't the case, but unfortunately, take a look around (Detroit, Camden, etc.).

SF is really Asian and doing fine. Atlanta is pretty black and fine.

Atlanta's boom has cononcided with the boom in it's white population. Like DC just did, ATL will be under 50% black in a year or two and sits about 53% currently after falling from the mid 60s just a few years ago.

The Atlanta metro area will remain heavily black. It's a fairly sprawling place, more like LA than DC.

The suburbs will for sure but that is sort of the effect we are talking about.

Except it doesn't really matter when the "city" is so suburban anyway. And Atlanta's economic success is tied to its job base. It doesn't matter whether the its workers are living in the city or commuting from the cities. The Atlanta area will stay very black and succeed.

^^^ whether its worker

^^^ commuting to the city (from the suburbs)

I've basically stopped caring about residential segregation and I'm black. I'm more focused on making sure there are jobs and public areas where people are drawn together from their various segregated neighborhoods. Most people are just weak and only feel safe living among people who look like them.

I dont remember the exact numbers but in the 90's there were approx 60% white kids and the rest were other races, It has gradually switched over and is now only about 8% white.
So either the white people are moving or they are all sending their kids private which I find hard to believe. Makes me sad.

I think we may live in the same area! It is sad. There seem to be plenty of white people in my neighborhood but many of them are elderly and if they are young enough to have kids, send their kids to private schools. Mine will be going to public though!

Why is it sad? Seriously. White people are not endangered. It cracks me up to hear white people lamenting this given their historic lack of empathy for, say, Native Americans who they almost completely wiped out. There are plenty of y'all. Calm down.

I am the original PP, It is sad that white people dont want to send their kids to school because there are more black kids. That to me is sad.

I don't think white people scare easily. See how they colonized and built this country. They do not want their kids exposed to certain elements and want a better education for them. I understand what took place in the 1950s thru 70s and it is only a matter of time until this social upheavel occurs again. That is why I live West of 270 - like a moat.

Don't overreact. I don't know what part of Moco obviously but I live in Moco and imagine the kind of influx the original PP mentioned is generally new immigrant Hispanic. Immigrants historically always concentrate while the "natives" flee, esp. on the coasts. That's what heavy immigration looks like.

They didn't scare easily when they colonized because they had guns and disease. Playing field is level on that now. White people are scared of their own shadows.

Also your reference to living across a "moat" is not helping your case that you're not fearful. Lol.

Please. If people had to do without white inventions , systems and government they would be living in huts with 20 year lifespans.

If white people had to do without the inventions of middle easterners and enslaved black labor, they'd never have developers the "inventions, systems and government" you hold in such high esteem. So there. We all need each other.

^^^ never have developed

Oh and I forgot to mention the knowledge of Native Americans that kept the weakling little colonists from dying.
