it is absolutely hilarious that so many freepers are so daft as to think that these cities have declined simply because dems run them

and stupid

plenty of cities that run very well despite being run by democrats and for one reason

they lack what has destroyed the other cities

Dems don’t help but they can’t destroy cities without other components

Memphis prospered well enough under Dems many years ago when it was majority white

my hometown...same thing

and so forth

So your conclusion is the RACIAL MAKEUP and CULTURE of the population is the most important factor that influences the thriving or decaying of a city?

You hit the nail square on the head! As much as I despise Democrats and their socialist policies, they are NOT the root problem nor the reason for tje decay/high crime rates/ failing schools in these cities. There are Democrat-run cities which in spite of their lunatic over-regulation, etc, do not have these particular problems-or at least not until their lunatic policies (generous welfare benefits, “sanctuary” for illegals, etc)-they don’t have filthy streets, high crime rates ad the rest-UNTIL their liberal policies (especially welfare) start attracting influxes of “Amish”, as we are so euphemestically putting it in this thread.

The Scandinavian nations are run on socialist lines, but they didn’t have the high crime rates, no-go ghettos, vandalism and destruction of infrastructure until they began importing hordes of third world savages.

It’s the same here-there are Democrat-run cities which are as liberal as it gets, but manage to have clean cities, low crime rates, good public school systems-UNTIL their generous welfare policies start attracting the parasites (”Amish”, as we’re putting it).

The threat of repercussions from the thought police has certainly made people unwilling to to speak the truth (and that was the plan of course), for which it’s hard to blame them, but we’re never going to reach solutions until we can candidly point out the problem.

People are naturally unwilling to jeapardise their careers etc but they prove the truth of the matter everytime a white family participates in “white flight”. Even liberals prove it by living in white communities and sending their children to private schools, while condemning white working-class people to endure life under the very same liberal policies those liberals escape.
