white flight caused the assimilation u speak of



let me tell you something my friend...my father lived in the Hill neighborhood in new haven, ct with 8 brothers and sisters...in a tenement...in 1967 there was a trial here regarding the black panthers which caused a major riot like in many other cities in the late 60's, i believe the one im referring to was in 1967 when my father was 10...they were blowing shit up everywhere....my grandmother would throw boiling pots of water down onto the street to keep the rioters out of the building while my grandfather, father and some of his brothers threw sticks of dynamite off the roof. they moved shortly thereafter and i grew up in the first floor of a three family apartment in a neighboring suburb called Hamden...I am the first person in my family to own a house, neither parents own one to this day.

you want to call that white flight go ahead....
