    I do not know what to think of it Billy. That is why I posted it hoping a little discussion would sort it out.

    I M O, What the author is saying is; the leaders of the communities are deliberately increasing the numbers of certain ethnic groups in a specific area. This in turn is causing “ wihte flight “ and turning the area into a Democrat stronghold. The more of these “ strongholds “that can be created, the more Democrat votes and elected officials who are Socialist thinking.

    If enough “ Democrat enclaves “ are created, then any opposition voters will be such a minority that their vote will in effect be useless. In this way piece by piece there will be a total transformation of the America we know into an America that becomes Socialist.

    We have seen that small but highly populated areas can control the elective direction of very large sparsely populated areas. Cities can control counties, and counties can control states. It just takes small but targeted population areas.

    Deliberate placement of dependent population insures control.

    IV got it in my opinion. It's been going on for years, there's even a name for it but I can't remember it. Redistricting? In the past it was done for the same reason, create districts that will vote a certain way overwhelming any opposition. The end results weren't so dire back then.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    unbelievably silly, cities and easily identifiable in Chicago are like tree rings with the upwardly moblie classes migrating further and further, building larger effluent homes as they go. Chicago's wealth class wasn't "whites" it was Italian.. with Americans moving into what they built.. minority move into what they left.. its just economics. If the school choose to focus on latin students its because of the resource of who they could attract..

    Thanks 2nd. I never realized that Italians were people of color.

    they are an ethnicity and when articles like this make claims about "whites" it's interesting they choose to only talk in terms of us and them as in shades of darker skin. The American mutt "white" wasn't the most upwardly mobile class. But let me ask, how does the gentrification of inner cities sit within these claims of white flight?

    I understand that you want a world in America that is all brown without any white males unfortunately won't happen in your lifetime but it may well happen so that should make you happy
