Why don't black and white Americans live together?

Legal segregation in the US may have ended more than 50 years ago. But in many parts of the country, Americans of different races aren't neighbours - they don't go to the same schools, they don't shop at the same stores, and they don't always have access to the same services.

In 2016 the issue of race will remain high on the agenda in the United States. The police killings of unarmed black men and women over the past few years reignited a debate over race relations in America, and the reverberations will be felt in the upcoming presidential election and beyond.

Ferguson, Baltimore and Chicago are three cities synonymous with racial tensions - but all three have another common denominator. They, like many other American cities, are still very segregated.

People segregate themselves. Probably more along ideological lines than anything.

My little town only has 1 black family but they’re conservatives.

Because “hip hop” and “rap” music drive me crazy and I don’t like basketball?

It’s complicated and half of humans are too stupid to get along.

They do where I live. Perhaps people should only write about things they know about.

Because white people will work themselves to the bone, reduce their number offspring, and pay any price to get away from them. Anything.

It's been that way since the beginning of time. Who are we to say it is strictly a racist thing? Like it or not...we're all groupies.

Don't see any tigers sleeping with hippos.

Leftists fail to understand or acknowledge human behavior, once again.

In America, there are màny people like my ex-wife: what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is ours. Unfortunately for their race, there are many members of “the race you mention” who feel like my ex. Given that, many people of the Caucasian persuasion choose to live someplace away from “the race you mentioned.”

It’s total bovine patties from Marxist English who have no idea what the US is — and don’t care.

The propagandist doesn’t even read what he wrote.

“Brookings showed most of the country’s largest metropolitan areas have segregation levels of between 50 to 70.”

So the entire premise isn’t even true.

This whole Black and White stuff is a 50 year old meme.

Income levels and savings. Blacks generally earn less and are big spenders per dollar of income, so they can’t generally afford to pay as much as whites, whether it’s rent or mortgage.

“Probably more along ideological lines than anything”

And economics.

Education level? Income? Parental training? Political orientation? Interest in maximizing self sufficiency? Planning time horizon distance?

From the left-wing mouthpiece of a country that denies its own enclaves aka “no-go zones”.
