Urban Renewal as a Racial Emergency

An alarming piece at Citylab reveals just how bitterly progressives hate white people. Whites who had been driven out by urban decay coming back to rejuvenate inner cities with their competence and work ethic is literally viewed as an emergency:

Ron Daniels, president of the Baltimore-based civil-rights network Institute of the Black World 21st Century, assembled a group of some of the foremost African-American social-justice advocates, thinkers, and influencers to Newark [recently] for an emergency summit on gentrification. The emergency is that too many white people have been moving back from wherever they fled to into inner-city neighborhoods that have been culturally and racially defined as black communities for the past few decades. This white invasion is an “insidious onslaught” to African-American life as we know it, as Daniels spelled out in a blog he penned last November, and so walls must be built, or rather, policies must be built to stop the occupation.

The “occupation” of American cities by the core population of America is a crisis only if that core population has been slated for marginalization and eventually worse.

The hypocritical double standard could not be more obvious. Complaining about blacks moving into white neighborhoods could easily end a career, despite the effect this phenomenon has had on formerly great cities like Detroit. Racism only cuts one way, once the scapegoat race has been settled on.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.
