you're exactly right

black run towns..something plenty of highminded here have no idea about when they point fingers...are usually in collapse and those in power are trying to stop the tax base flight of incorporation

somewhere like Atlanta has seen the black population in the inner counties soar as white get pushed further and further out and then those whites ..and other earners of different races who also live with said whites..try to insulate themselves for schools and services etc and the black power structure downtown will try to thwart it

this is curious...i’m wondering if it's just black majority cities..

Nashville has 20 percent black and little serious decay like say Memphis or Montgomery or Jackson MS but we do have Belle Meade, Forest Hills and Oak Hill and other little enclaves incorporated to various levels apart from metro Nashville guv

in Jackson MS, they would love to gobble up the white counties (relatively speaking,...these counties are far less white than most freepers live in)around urban Jackson for the cash..but they have been stopped so far

I never knew you needed Civil Rights pass/muster to incorporate

thanks so much all that 60s Civil Rights stuff conservatives like Hannity and Beck tell me I should like...the gifts that keep on giving

Atlanta was not a black majority urban area when I grew up in the 60s and 70s...no southern cities were..imagine that. Blacks still lived rural and before the reverse Great Trek.

These days living inside I-285 is an Atlanta status symbol. Five years ago my intown neighborhood was 70% black. Today it’s 70% white. It’s trending this way all over the city.
