During the civil rights era, Atlanta thought of itself as “The City Too Busy to Hate,” a rare place in the South where the races lived and thrived together. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: “The City Too Busy Moving to Hate.”
In this reappraisal of racial politics in modern America, Kevin Kruse explains the causes and consequences of “white flight” in Atlanta and elsewhere. Seeking to understand segregationists on their own terms, White Flight moves past simple stereotypes to explore the meaning of white resistance. In the end, Kruse finds that segregationist resistance, which failed to stop the civil rights movement, nevertheless managed to preserve the world of segregation and even perfect it in subtler and stronger forms.
Challenging the conventional wisdom that white flight meant nothing more than a literal movement of whites to the suburbs, this book argues that it represented a more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved. In a provocative revision of postwar American history, Kruse demonstrates that traditional elements of modern conservatism, such as hostility to the federal government and faith in free enterprise, underwent important transformations during the postwar struggle over segregation.

People want to focus on the racial divide, which only entrenches racists and further divides, when they could champion unity and strengthen ties. Have white people been guilty of racism? Sure, but so have black people. Making historical selections to read is great, but reading it all is even greater. It’s not about the white devil or the black devil, it’s about learning to live together in brotherly love.

“Mr. Cricket”….The world needs more people who think like you.

Strange how it’s middle class silver spoon in mouth “liberals” who want to keep the division going. It gives THEM power they haven’t the abilities nor intelligence to use properly. Just to create MORE division, more hate - to entrench THEMSELVES in overpaid unnecessaruy jobs at public expense or jobs in media, also overpaid and unnecessary
When will the penny drop ?

White Flight has nothing to do with crime. It’s all about skin color. Look at Chiraq, Bullitmore and So. Philly. Great places to raise children.

@jiminycricket I like the way you think; however, that kind of thinking would put an end to the multi-billion dollar race baiting industry by the media, politicians, and hate-hustlers.

@Jiminy Cricket “it’s about learning to live together in brotherly love.”
When middle class whites flee to their suburbs, creating walled, segregated (in practice if not law) enclaves, that’s the exact opposite.
