it's a little bit more than white flight, alot of shit happens to turn those neighborhoods into hoods, white flight is just the first step.

Wrong. Media wasnt the reason for their fear back in the 40's 50's etc..etc.. It's just in their nature.

If thats the case, why do you have ethinc Ghettos all over the world, even in countries, where you have no white people?
E.g. I just read some shit about Islamabad, Pakistan. The bad part of that city is called "Little Kabul" cause all the refugees from Afghanistan settled down there.
I would say, simplified its like this:
Poor people move in, rich/wealthier people move out, no matter if they are white, green, purple or yellow.
And when back in the day blacks moved to the big cities on the east and west coast they were anything but rich.

How are poor people moving into where the rich people live? Those panhandlers must make a killing! They didn't need spare change for a phone call! They're using that money for a down payment on the house next door!
I think it also has to do with economics. Like my wonderful example above, poor people don't just move into rich areas. Rich areas take an economic hit of sorts, housing becomes affordable, poorer people move in, rich people start leaving, housing prices fall, rich people start to leave even more, other poor people move in until it's a virtual slum. There's a lot of factors to consider and skin colour may be just one of those.
