Remember What I Said About The Melting Pot?

There's a plan afoot to move people of a particular skin tone from the places where they are now to the suburbs.

The confusion between correlation and causation here is that living in the suburbs causes people to be more successful.

I think the causal relationship is actually that people who earn their way to the burbs are successful and it's the choice of successful people to live there.

Moving someone who couldn't earn their way there doesn't necessarily mean they will thrive in the new environment because they have not adopted the culture needed to succeed there.

It's not skin tone scaring people in the burbs, but culture conflict.

Forcing these cultures into the same proximity will cause conflict and traditional Americans are getting very close to not caring what the world thinks of them when the decide the conflict is existential.

I have a local example.

Two doors down and across the street I watched a dark complexioned neighbor dress down his daughter for her choice of a gangsta type boyfriend.  The shouting amounted to, "I did not move away from that shit for YOU to bring it home with you!"

He's a very good neighbor.

But he bought the house on his own, it wasn't leveraged to make some white liberal, who lives in a decidedly urban (and probably gentrified) neighborhood, feel better about themselves.

I wonder if the real drive to move black people out into the burbs has more to do with getting access to new places to gentrify so as to make their urban dreams more pleasant.  Why should the way THEY vote cause THEM to have problems when they can shove the problem they've carefully nurtured to fruition onto someone else.
