I have spoken directly with a few people who left their southern in town neighborhood (still houses with yards etc) in the early 70's because they did not like the way black people behaved after civil rights in the 60's.
Not sure if that counts for you as racism but there it is.
- Danihan 9y agoDepends if "behaved" means, "being too successful" or "being too thuggish / criminal". If it's the latter, of course most people want to live in a nice neighborhood, not a crime den.
