Not bad. But the black segregation thing is just being too focused on while completely ignoring the basis of the issue. Poverty and crime are not just a black problem.

For instance to the south of Boston there is a poor large black population. You could point to it and say that is the cause of white flight from cities - case closed. However the reality is to the north of Boston there is just as many poor central and south Americans minorities who aren't looked at any differently. To the east is a notorious organized crime area run by white people like Whitey Bulger (Hollywood movies about it).

Of course that doesn't fit the agenda of groups who want to highlight their specific ongoing racial discrimination. They''d rather other groups/problems be ignored in any and all equations. Don't need special funds for the disenfranchised being diluted
