Where's the outrage over black-on-black killings?

These concepts are socially constructed and have been given much weight. What are your thoughts?

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.


in my opinion is the biggest reason, because wen white folks leave the community is forgoten then , the community gets lower value and instead of LA fitness u get a liqour store, a dollar store, clubs and them type shits....then the apt complexes are not taken care of well...and all of us kno its hard to maintain a huose...it mite be cheap to buy a huose in the hood but u still got to go to the same wallmart or w.e to buy stuff to fix ur house....most folks grand parents had the houses and cud afford maintainance but they cant and like don want to coz they can leave the neighborhood after moving on up...thus leavin them big ass hood squares infron of houses and crack houses, hoe houses, and alot of bumbs in them houses who do alot of dumb crimes......then it jst becomes a rotten area..it takes a long time.....but sometimes short

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.
