Racism is a subjective term, what in this piece do you deem as racist?
Let's start with where you put it:
US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum > US Discussion > Race Relations/Racism > White Flight, the taboo subject.
You're the one who made it about race.
I didn't put it there, the mod did. It is absolutely about race, but I am curious as to where he sees racism in the video and whom he thinks the racism is being perpetrated upon?
So long as there are place to fly to, there will be white flight.
Whites need to ask themselves, "what happens when those places run out'?
Will you stand and fight?
Makes me wonder what the kids in 165 years are going to think about the upper-crust of today.

Does it make you mad that your ancestors were so focused on short-term profits and personal ego that they screwed their descendants by bringing a LOT of blacks here against their will to begin with?

My ancestors never owned slaves, and weren't in America until within the second half of the 20th century. That seems to be an asinine assumptions. But I agree, the 2% of Americans who owned slaves when it was legal did screw the rest of us by bringing millions of Africans over here, and people who live in America on the aggregate would be better off if Africans were never brought here here.
They on the aggregate have prevented me from keeping more of my property through their general voting patterns(like 90% of them), which directly effects my future prosperity. I guess that would be the most direct way. But that isn't a problem of black as much as it is democracy.Does it make you mad that your ancestors were so focused on short-term profits and personal ego that they screwed their descendants by bringing a LOT of blacks here against their will to begin with?

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts it would be Christmas every day. Have blacks stopped you from achieving your goals in life?

Good topic.
Racism doesn't exist in America...right?
Get out once in a while...
...and do a little reading.
1. But major metro areas are casting a declining share of the nation's votes, while fast-growing counties beyond metro-edge cities, with family-size subdivisions and megachurches, are heavily Republican Democrats have made their greatest gains in the nation's very largest metropolitan areas. At the same time, Republicans have been gaining in rural areas and the fast-growing metropolitan fringe. Michael Barone, http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/001106/6pol.htm
2. These areas, with with family-size subdivisions and megachurches, termed Sprinkler Cities by David Brooks, are experiencing astounding growth, due to Americans looking to escape high taxes, bad schools, and still-high-priced homes.
a. Sprinkler Cities are the fast-growing suburbs mostly in the South and West that are the homes of the new style American Dream, the epicenters of Patio Man fantasies. Douglas County, Colorado, which is the fastest-growing county in America and is located between Denver and Colorado Springs, is a Sprinkler City . Sprinkler Cities are also generally the most Republican areas of the country. In some of the Sprinkler City congressional districts, Republicans have a 2 or 3 or 4 to 1 registration advantage over Democrats... In fact, the rising prominence of these places heralds a new style of suburb vs. suburb politics, with the explosively growing Republican outer suburbs vying with the slower-growing and increasingly Democratic inner suburbs for control of the center of American political gravity. Patio Man and the Sprawl People | The Weekly Standard
b. Already, suburbanites make up about half of the country's population (while city people make up 28 percent and rural folk make up the rest), and America gets more suburban every year. According to the census data, the suburbs of America's 100 largest metro areas grew twice as fast as their central cities in the 1990s, and that was a decade in which many cities actually reversed their long population slides . The majority of Asian Americans, half of Hispanics, and 40 percent of American blacks live in suburbia. Ibid.
While the election of 08 saw votes from every geographic and demographic for Barak Obama, and explanations for this multiply daily, the 10 mid-terms may indicate that this was an aberration, outside of the trends suggested above.
The next election may tell the growth outside of cities is a hint of dominance for the Republicans, or continuance of a divided polity.Ibid.
This 'racism' thing is a sickness you should try to get over.
Read this again, in the context of the post:
"The majority of Asian Americans, half of Hispanics, and 40 percent of American blacks live in suburbia."
Grow up.
Wise up.

You realize that article is from a decade ago?
Blacks and Hispanics are turning the "Suburbs" into the same shitholes as they did in the cities.
