When did white people become victims? Because they always are crying about something. White men keep saying they are not treated fairly but what they really mean is they do not get all special treatment they want.

Haven’t they try this already? Many times? And failed!?!

The most recent time being the era of “White flight” to the suburbs following the passage of integration, especially in public schooling which implemented bussing.

Btw, they should try keeping their young White daughters away from young, Black teenage boys and Black men. Oh that’s right. They keep failing at that too! /being facetious

When these white fortresses are created, the underrepresented communities they break away from tend to have little to no say. In the new cities formed in both Louisiana and Georgia, only citizens within the proposed new city get to vote by referendum, despite the taxes that would be taken away from the surrounding community.

The white fortressing points to modern-day forms of white flight that have shaped American cities for decades as a result of desegregation in a racist post-slavery America. The consequences of these practices typically impact underserved communities by negatively impacting the health and wealth-building opportunities for generations.
