minus-square@TheKingBeelink19•1 year agoI think this analysis completely misses the why. The why being that America is a racist country that would rather have less prosperity than social cohesion. That white Americans will run away from cities rather than live near a person that doesn’t look like them. That white Americans would rather close pools than share them with black people. That white Americans rather the government let them starve than get over their “racial resentment.” American history is written in genocide, bondage, and fear of the other. This is always where it would lead because we culturally refuse to deal with or acknowledge it.
