#3 Scroll down to the lament of a fed judge with his job.

I seem to recall the dictate of Federal Judiciary who imposed forced busing on these metro areas. The federal judiciary ignores its culpability in these matters. Social virtue is allowed to trump the consequences of reality in their hands. While all the Lefties decried the 'white flight' they ignored the upper and middle class black flight that real desegregation provide for. How much of the downward spiral for cities like Detroit and Baltimore could be traced to a combination of forced busing, decline in discipline (which further fueled the flight), and the lowering of academic standards (they're racist!) as parents of all colors took to the suburbs and elsewhere? /rhet question.

#7 It's not the homes it's the lack of culture in the people in them (thanks to benefits).
