Statistically speaking, the odds of being attacked by a black or brown are 12x higher than a white person, so yeah, keep welcoming diversity

statistically speaking, living in the burbs that is still majority white, my kids are more likely to be shot by a white person in their school than by a black or brown person.

Statistically speaking your daughter is more likely to get raped by a white dude she knows or at college than by a brown person no matter where she lives.

I hate to admit this, but this is true. As a brown woman myself, even I have to admit that I feel unsafe around some brown and black males. I find them aggressive and borderline scary at times. At least when I tell a white guy to leave me alone he complies. However, black and brown men become hostile and sometimes violent. I feel safer in my predominately white community. In my previous community with black and brown men crime was rampant. Daily street harassment was just a part of life. I can walk down the street in my white community without degenerates hollering or screaming sexually explicit nonsense. Minority men being violent towards minority women are never held accountable. Actually, society gives these men free passes because people just don't hold black and brown men to higher standards. So, no thanks you couldn't pay me to reside in a community where a bunch of brown or black men inhabit.

I'm a full supporter of green flight. If anyone has the financial means, then why would they want to reside in a community that puts them at risk? I don't care about white people fleeing to greener pastures because most of us brown or black UMC folks who are honest with ourselves don't want to reside in communities where there is a high percentage of minorities either. Many of my black and brown UMC friends flee to private schools or other neighborhoods once their neighborhood public schools become less white. However, we just don't discuss this in company of white people.

Thanks for the post

It's a class issue not a race issue. It's no secret people try to be in the most expensive area they can afford

Poor white areas suck too

If a bunch of old white people retire and a group of diverse younger move in, thAts not flight.

If the white people that are fleeing are whiny Republicans, then good riddance.

The people most anxious to live in a lily-white neighborhood and send their kids to lily-white schools are... wealthy liberal Democrats.

Where are these lily white schools? Most are in ever shrinking Republican strongholds in this area or in the outer burbs.

.. the 20 counties with the highest levels of middle-class white flight were:

Prince George’s County, Md.
Montgomery County, Md.
Fairfax County, Va.
Prince William County, Va.
Loudoun County, Va.

plus 15 others

So where are all the DC area white flighters moving to? Stafford?

Study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X17305422

Abstract:

Scholars have continued to debate the extent to which white flight remains racially motivated or, in contrast, the result of socioeconomic concerns that proxy locations of minority residence. Using 1990–2010 census data, this study contributes to this debate by re-examining white flight in a sample of both poor and middle-class suburban neighborhoods. Findings fail to provide evidence in support of the racial proxy hypothesis. To the contrary, for neighborhoods with a larger non-white presence, white flight is instead more likely in middle-class as opposed to poorer neighborhoods. These results not only confirm the continued salience of race for white flight, but also suggest that racial white flight may be motivated to an even greater extent in middle-class, suburban neighborhoods. Theoretically, these findings point to the decoupling of economic and racial residential integration, as white flight may persist for groups even despite higher levels of socioeconomic attainment.

I agree. I live in Prince William County and see white flight happening, but they are not leaving the county, but moving to other parts making the county more imbalanced.

Has anyone here, who is white, ever lived in a predominantly black neighborhood?

I have, and if you like littered streets, noise, a rise in petty crime such as stealing, breaking into cars, packs of 12 year olds hanging out at 11pm on a school night and declining property value, then you can live in a black neighborhood.

If you like safe, clean places, move to white neighborhoods. Ever see a successful AA live in an all black neighborhood? They flee these areas whenever they can.

She speaks of the larger society's racism of lower expectations. Black or brown predators preying upon black or brown women...get a pass. Sad but true.

A lot of white people just gave a serial groper a pass and/or a mulligan, enough so to put him in the WH.
