White flight started in the 1960s. Whites left whole cities and ran....think Detriot. Massive black riots and attacks in CA & NJ in the 60s. New York City in the 70s was a nut house of black on white crime. Millions of whites started to leave almost every major city in the USA starting 40 years ago, lol, how young are you:)
quite nearly 70
I have avoided both television and large cities for the last 20 years.
I was visiting in Detroit when the big riot started there.....and left very rapidly
