[quote=Anonymous]At the beginning of the 1900s, Appalachia was booming with coal mining and large scale logging. But later, those industries collapsed, and most left to seek work and better prospects elsewhere. Those who remained did so with little prospect locally, and this created an impoverished mainly white community of "de facto segregation" complete with poor schooling, drugs, alcohol, teen birth and all the other problems. That's really no different than impoverished black communities (and it seems to me that PP above merely put 7th ward out there just as an example - clearly one could choose from among several). Examples like Appalachia demonstrate that race has nothing to do with it.[/quote]
