Don’t want to deal with the impacts of leftist policies? Racist. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at a summit at the Obama Foundation. She recounted her childhood years growing up. She grew up with friends from all backgrounds. She said that Caucasians left neighborhoods that African-Americans moved into.<\/p>\n

She argued that this is a process that still continues today. Throughout the article, she tried to paint a picture of “racist whites” who didn’t like what other groups represent.<\/p>\n

Looking at articles that are posted here, and elsewhere, could this “flight” have something to do with the negative side effects of near-perpetual Democrat rule? Gun violence? Poor economic opportunities?<\/p>\n

From the Washington Post:<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2010, Chicago had the fifth-highest combined racial and economic segregation in the nation and the 10th-highest black and white segregation, according to a 2017 study from Chicago-based Metropolitan Planning Council. Chicago is now ranked the fourth-most segregated city in the country, USA Today Money reported in July.<\/p>\n

White flight reduced the city’s capital for schools, infrastructure and other community resources, something Obama noticed when she was growing up. She said she felt a sense of injustice as a child because she could see and feel that people were running from families like hers. She noted that she and her brother had friends of all races when they first moved in.<\/p>\n

“There were no gang fights; there were no territorial battles. Yet one by one, they packed their bags, and they ran from us. And they left communities in shambles,” she said during her time of plugging the Obama Presidential Center to be built in Jackson Park, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She and her husband were considering a beachfront property at Martha’s Vineyard. That’s far from the neighborhood that she talked about above.<\/p>\n

It’s easier to pull the race card then to look at the actual problems or causes. Could racism have played a role? Yes. However, there are other variables at play.<\/p>\n

Maybe look at the political party that dominated the city’s government over the past few decades. Perhaps by the time that Michelle Obama witnessed the “white flight”, the negative effects of “progressive” policies were already being felt.<\/p>\n
