Say it isn't so, and if it is, pass a law and force them to stay.

What do they call it when Latinos flee an area? Hispanic Panic?
It's an unfortunate occurance. But when the population begins to change like this, property values go down. Sad but true. Basically you have to get out before you loose everything you invested in your home. It happened to me in a very short time.
Spanish vanish?
Spanish fly...
Those suburban counties are far more racist now than they ever were when they were (in the fevered imagination of liberals) home to nothing but active-duty KKK members.
Insofar as "better, safer" implies areas which tend to vote Republican (it does) and "racist" implies areas which tend to vote lockstep liberal/Democrat (it does), just look at the recent county-by-county voting patterns in the Atlanta metro area, and you'll see how far those suburban counties have devolved - while others, much farther out, are thriving.
For now.
Besides, if Whitey is the root of all evil, as the article wants us to believe, then White Flight should be a good thing for the affected areas, right? It sure was good for Detroit and dozens of other once-livable cities.
I lived in Snellville and then Duluth between '94 and '03, the changes were pretty drastic in that 10 years.
Good One!
I don't think I've heard the term.."non Hispanic white" before...
I don't know Atlanta. How far out are these suburbs?

"Run from the border" maybe?
Sorry to hear your story. The very opposite happened to me.
I moved into a neighborhood where hookers came to the door!
About 15-30 miles depending on the town.
I just bough a house in Gwinnet county in July. The differences here are more socio-economic and class related than race related. My Zip code, 30084 is the fast increasing average home price zip code in Georgia. My neighborhood has a number of Hispanic, Asian and blacks families. They are just lie everybody else. My wife and I took a walk yesterday and it seemed like the whole neighborhood was outside with their kids or working on their lawns. Good middle class people being neighborly and taking care of their property.
The next neighborhood over is also mixed race but it's seedy. The grocery store smells bad. Kids seem unattended. Day laborers stand on the corners and there are three liquor stores within two blocks but no bank.
So the colors are the same but the people are different. Sometimes it's not about race no matter what the Atlanta Journal Constitution says.
Stupid statement that he probably doesn't even believe himself. This forced-upon-America "diversity" IS causing chaos in our communities. I see it widespread in California towns.
If we had a government that actually enforced immigration laws, we wouldn't "need to learn to cope with these issues". Our government has failed us.
Sorry, but I don't consider "equal" Americans who have spent their lives following the law, paying taxes, contributing to their communities, to border hoppers who spit on our laws and devastate our infrastructure while we pay the bills and try to "cope" with the mess they bring to our lives.
20-25 miles
Those good ol' boys better not trying "going home again"; they'd be in for quite a shock.
Nevertheless, what you say has alot of validity. People want to live in an area surrounded by people "like themselves."
Of course, knowing the area like I do, white folks would really look stupid if they start driving 40 miles to go to work just to get away from "those people."
