Really? white flight due to that?
The riots were mostly outside agitators coming in for a few days.
The protesters were both black and white.
The fight is between blacks and the police. So, the police are going to flee?
Those who are angry at the protesters and rioters and who cheer at Trump rallies have flown from the cities long ago. Trumpists are from the sticks now.
The cities are mostly blue, the country is mostly red. No more flight needed.
Rich liberals with the means are heading for the burbs.
Violent crime has increased at levels unseen since the mid 90s.
These folks will say the right things but they are also the gatekeepers to capital and material change.
They'd be happy to diversify the boardroom as long as they stay rich and others stay poor
Flight right now? That's awfully quick to determine a trend of white people moving out.
The people in the boardroom might move out, but they were probably conservatives anyway. That's a small number. Probably most of them never gentrified and stayed in some gated exurban community in scenic locations.
I don't know if we can say that the rise in crime last week is a trend.
