I live in Chicago and I've heard over and over how people moved hee from small rural towns to be around others that accept them. THOSE are the bubble people. The same thing happened within big cities, white folk move away from black folk then complain about segregation. The logical answer would be to reverse the white flight, but they don't like it when I say it.
ReplyDeleteThe moving around thing is very difficult. People do want to live with people like themselves. I think that's ok because eventually those communities transform and it take a lot of energy to move away from what you know. Urban planning with the intent of equal access to good quality living. If you have an industrial zone, ensure a light commercial zone to buffer from residential areas. The problem comes when the government doesn't supply quality services equally creating ghettos.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, thriving black communities were decimated to build the interstate highway system - either by appropriating land or cutting them off from services. Also, apparently, blacks were not allowed to buy in certain neighbourhoods while whites were discouraged from buying in others (according to different sources I've read) More recently the N Dakota pipeline was diverted from a white center that already had a pipeline (Bismark) to an area valued by indigenous people.
Most of those instances would benefit if white people move back into the areas they fled. Instead those same white liberals want the Black folks do the hard part of moving to good areas. The white folks are the ones that can better afford to move, but they'd rather talk than do. Part of me thinks they are using the Black folks as pawns in debates, hypocritical in not wanting them in their own back yard, let alone move to where blacks live now.
ReplyDeleteIf we move to the under recognized areas, we bring out privilege along to attract more services and help to those areas.
Anything else is just keyboard warriorism. When I was homeless, most liberals said they wanted to help, but did nothing. That hurt worse than the Conservatives that outright ignored me.
