The Role of Blacks in The Decline of The US East Coast Cities

Executive Summary

• In nearly all media, blacks are framed as the victims of the decline of black East Coast cities.
• This article proposes a different explanation that has to do with blacks themselves.

Introduction

This article will use several important graphics to counter the generally accepted explanation that blacks have nothing to do with the black East Coast cities. After reviewing the evidence, you may agree that it is clear this explanation has not been provided due to people censoring themselves, as the conclusion is not politically correct.

City Example #1: The Similar Decline of Baltimore

Baltimore went through the same things as many cities in the Midwest. Like many Midwestern cities, Baltimore was once a major hub of manufacturing in the US. In 1940, whites comprised 80.6% of the population, and the city was thriving.

However, in 2020, Baltimore is only 27.6% white and 62.4% black — and Baltimore is considered a punchline –with a vast no-go zone.

Baltimore’s Demographic Change

Baltimore and Crime

Due to black crime in Baltimore, the city is known for mass surveillance.

The following quotes on Baltimore are from the article on Baltimore in Wikipedia.

Baltimore reached a peak population of 949,708 at the official 1950 U.S. census count. In every official ten-year census count since then, the city has lost population, with its 2020 census population at 585,708. In 2011, then-Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said one of her goals was to increase the city’s population by improving city services to reduce the number of people leaving the city and by passing legislation protecting immigrants’ rights to stimulate growth.

This is not going to work. Whites are leaving the city because the city has become black-dominant and black-run. At that point, leaving is the best option for all racial groups.

Baltimore is identified as a sanctuary city. In 2019, then-Mayor Jack Young said that Baltimore will not assist ICE agents with immigration raids.

Baltimore City’s population has declined overall from 620,961 in 2010 to 585,708 in 2020, representing a 5.7% drop. In 2020, Baltimore lost more population than any other major city in the United States.

This is the norm. When a city has a high percentage of its population that is black, the city’s population tends to decline.

See the graph of Gary, Indiana. Once an area becomes predominantly black, the population declines due to white flight, the flight of other races, and, eventually, black flight.

Once a predominantly industrial town, with an economic base focused on steel processing, shipping, auto manufacturing (General Motors Baltimore Assembly), and transportation, the city experienced deindustrialization, which cost residents tens of thousands of low-skill, high-wage jobs.

The city now relies on a low-wage service economy, which accounts for 31% of jobs in the city.

This is the standard or establishment explanation. However, this same phenomenon has occurred in any city that has transitioned from predominantly white to predominantly black. With such a large black population, having highly skilled jobs becomes no longer possible.

Considering the Black Devastation on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

The following quote from Wikipedia explains the rapid decline of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. The Inner Harbor was one of the few tourist attractions that Baltimore had — that is, until blacks began to go there.

Baltimore’s history and attractions have made it a popular tourist destination. In 2014, the city hosted 24.5 million visitors, who spent $5.2 billion. The Baltimore Visitor Center, which is operated by Visit Baltimore, is located on Light Street in the Inner Harbor. Much of the city’s tourism centers around the Inner Harbor, with the National Aquarium being Maryland’s top tourist destination.

This was true in 2014. However, black vandalism and mistreatment of the Inner Harbor have dramatically decreased tourism to Baltimore since this quote was written.

“Juveniles” at the Baltimore Inner Harbor?

The media has a series of euphemisms to keep from saying the word “black.” If you hear the words “juveniles,” “students,” “youths,” and something is being damaged or there is mass criminality, that means black. 

“Juveniles” Rampaging in Baltimore

As soon as black people begin to frequent a tourist area, that area ceases to be a destination that can attract other tourists. 

This is a quote from someone who used to visit the Inner Harbor.

The Inner Harbor was built up to attract tourists in the early ’80s. Forty years later businesses are leaving due to a decrease in tourists and an increase in crime. Baltimore has been in decline for years. Now, it’s a dying city on its last leg.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Inner Harbor ends up being practically a ghost town in the future.

Again — why is it dying?

Why are all the cities that have large black populations categorized as dying?

Here, we have a tourism area. The Inner Harbor is not a manufacturing area; its decline cannot be blamed on “deindustrialization.” The reason for the Inner Harbor’s decline is the decline of the black population.

Continual Black Pushback on Policing

Blacks try to get policing minimized, which leads to more black crime. Blacks also tend to be reluctant to “snitch,” making it significantly more difficult to catch criminals. Blacks seem unable to put 2 and 2 together that they need to prosecute black thugs to have a safe environment. Black judges show enormous leniency towards black criminals. However, blacks do want whites prosecuted aggressively. Blacks appear to want whites even falsely prosecuted — and blacks either underprosecuted or not prosecuted at all. This black view of justice has been tried in city after city — and it has led to predictable outcomes everywhere it has been tried.

Blacks’ Incapability of Participating in the Justice System in a Positive Way

Involvement of blacks in the justice system in any way is a serious problem. And it is a significant factor that supercharges the ability of a black population to ruin a city in a way they could not when they had no voting power.

The Example of the Black Devastation of Buckhead, Atlanta

Atlanta used to have a very well-known and active nightclub area in Buckhead. However, in the early 2000s, blacks began to go there, which led to fights and shootings.

To address the issue politically correctly, the nightclubs were shut down, and the area was converted to high-end shopping. This eliminated blacks’ interest in visiting Buckhead, and the city became civilized again. This is alwasy the way to return an area to civility — remove black attendance.

Baltimore has not learned this lesson. They continue to allow blacks to visit the Inner Harbor, which means that the Inner Harbor will cease to be a destination for any groups but blacks.

City Example #2: Similar Decline in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is also not in the Midwest — however, the same pattern repeats.

Philadelphia’s Demographic Change

In 1970, the city was 63% white; in 2020, it had fallen to 34.3% white. On the other hand, Blacks have gone from 33.3% to 38.3%. This is a less drastic change than has been seen in other black-degraded cities; however, the migration to Philadelphia occurred earlier. The higher the percentage of black residents compared to the white population, the worse that city will be.

The ratio of whites to blacks is less than one-to-one, which means the city will be bad. In 1970, at least the whites outnumbered blacks by almost two to one. Now, blacks outnumber whites in Philadelphia. This is not entirely due to an increase in the black population, but because of an increase in the Asian and Hispanic populations in Philadelphia. However, it’s not Asians or Hispanics that make a city pleasant; it is whites. Blacks can never seem to explain, if whites are holding them back than..

a) Why do blacks continually move away from black areas to be around whites?

b). Why do the prospects for black decrease when the black population percentage in a city increases and the white percentage in a city decreases?

Philly’s Decline Has Mirrored the Rise in the Black Population

Philadelphia’s reputation is so bad that a black comedy sitcom called itself “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” a poke at Philadelphia’s reputation. If Philadelphia were nearly all white, the show would unlikely have been named for the city.

Black Crime Always Gets out of Control When Blacks Run Black Cities

More Bad Schools in a Black Run City?

As with all black-inhabited and black-run cities, Philadelphia’s schools are not terrible. 

City Example #3: Similar Decline in Wilmington, Delaware

Wilmington is one of those cities that fly under the radar. However, it is yet another example of what happens when blacks become a substantial percentage of a city’s population. Notice the population decline in the white population from 2000 to 2020. Blacks have been the dominant ethnic group in Delaware for decades. However, blacks had nothing to do with building Delaware into the city it became. Delaware is a late-stage city; this is where most of the white population has already left, and as there is less that can be parasitized, the black population will probably start to go as well.

Delaware’s Demographic Change

Notice the growth of the overall city’s population below. The town reached its maximum size in 1940, with 112,504 people. However, by 1950, the population had begun to decline. This is likely because black migration to Wilmington makes the city less desirable. By 1980, the population had declined by approximately 42,000, representing a 37.5% decrease. This was due to white flight, as blacks made Wilmington less desirable. As there are fewer whites, the average behavior level declines, crime increases, and destructive policies are enacted by an increasing number of blacks in political positions, worsening the situation.

The Effect of White Flight on Blacks

The original reason that blacks moved to Wilmington was to take advantage of what whites had built. With fewer whites, and most of them behind gates or otherwise restricting their interaction with blacks due to fear of being parasitized, this gives blacks less to extract. Trust has been ruined in Wilmington due to blacks.

Moving to Parasitizing the US Government

After the blacks can no longer parasitize whites, they move to parasitize the US government and absorb a very high percentage of the available welfare benefits. Blacks have shown a willingness to reproduce multiple generations based on government handouts.

The result is a city that was built by whites ends up being handed over to blacks, and the city falls off of the list of towns that anyone wants to visit. Blacks then say they need more government support, and then complain of racial discrimination. 

As a former city, Wilmington has become a location for companies from other states to incorporate. This reduces the tax burden on different states. Another thing Wilmington does is export usury laws from Delaware to other states through its influence on their laws. This means that a person who has a credit card in Nebraska issued by a credit card company incorporated in Delaware is subject to the nonexistent usury laws of Delaware, rather than the usury laws of Nebraska. As blacks became a target in Wilmington, Wilmington became a target in other states.

City Example #4: Similar Decline in Camden, New Jersey

The Flagship of Inner City Ghettos

The title of this video is “What happened.” It’s the same thing that happens when blacks migrate to your city. 

Camden’s Demographic Change

Notice the decline of whites from 1950 to 2010. Whites made Camden pleasant, and blacks, as parasites, were attracted to what whites created. By 1970, a white flight was underway; by 1990, it was a runaway train. In my lifetime, Camden has always been known as a no-go zone and a punchline. These tables are from Wikipedia.

Camden was once a highly regarded city, with people wanting to get married there and other events held there.

See this comment.

Comment #1: Camden Was Great?

I grew up in West Camden during the 60’s. It was great. At five years old I walked to school by myself. We played outside until 9-10pm on the weekends, ate Yum- Yum, sold on Baird Blvd. It was a beautiful time.

Yes, the 1960s were prior to the black takeover of the city.

Stunning Decline of the White Population

Let’s review the following demographic table, which brings us forward beyond 2010, covering the period up to 2020.

By 2020, whites will be nearly absent from Camden. But by 2020, the Latino population is at 52%, and the blacks have declined in absolute number from 34,277 to 27,800. Without the whites to parasitize, it’s time for the blacks to leave Camden to ruin other cities. Latinos with very low standards will actually move into areas ruined by blacks. Camden’s violent crime levels have decreased because Latinos are less violent than blacks. However, this shows clearly that Latinos do very little to counter the effects of blacks. 

The following is a whitewashed explanation of what has happened to Camden.

Camden’s cultural history has been greatly affected by both its economic and social position over the years. From 1950 to 1970, industry plummeted, resulting in close to 20,000 jobs being lost for Camden residents.

As with all coverage of black-ruined cities, the fact that this was an intense period of black migration to Camden is left out of the discussion of why industry plummeted. Between 1950 and 1970, the percentage of the city’s population that was black increased from 14% to 39%. No town with such a high percentage of blacks has ever proven sustainable.

This mass unemployment as well as social pressure from neighboring townships caused an exodus of citizens, mostly white.

Really? It was entirely due to unexplained economic causes, which the dramatically increased black population had nothing to do with – even though this same pattern has been repeated in countless cities.

This gap was filled by new African American and Latino citizens and led to a restructuring of Camden’s communities. The number of White citizens who left to neighboring towns such as Collingswood or Cherry Hill left both new and old African American and Latino citizens to re-shape their community.

Why did they leave? Isn’t diversity (non whites that is) a strength?

To help in this process, numerous not-for-profit organizations such as Hopeworks or the Neighborhood Center were formed to facilitate Camden’s movement into the 21st century.

This will not accomplish anything. The fact remains that what made Camden sustainable was the whites. Blacks came and ruined that, and now Latinos are picking up the pieces, and the city will function at some degenerated Latino+Black level. This will never return Camden to what it was. With a white population percentage at 4% Camden (and still declining) is now a third-world country — and is doubtlessly a net recipient of federal tax dollars rather than a contributor to the federal government. The politicians of Camden will be a combination of black and Latino, both of whom have no idea how to run an advanced society.

City Example #5: Similar Decline of Washington, DC

Washington, DC is “murder town” because it has a very high black population. 

DC’s Demographic Change

Washington, DC, was 71% white in 1940, and it is now only 39.6% white. And blacks had a very significant population of 28% in 1940, but it is now up to 41%. The higher the percentage of the black population in DC or any other city, the worse that city becomes and the less sustainable it becomes.

Entitled Black Criminals

Look at this video of brazen black crime. Many blacks think they have a license to steal, and it’s racist to stop them. Blacks are so heavily involved in shoplifting that it’s better not to have them come into the store. 

Covering Up Crime Statistics for Black Cities

The crime rates in black cities are terrible, and they are always led by black management. Black management of law enforcement is incompetent, and they become angry that such a high percentage of the people who are arrested are black, which causes them to do things like say they need to defund the police. Any black city is eventually going to end up with unreliable crime statistics as it attempts to cover up the problem because blacks are so prone to criminality. This quote is from the article Left-wing cities no longer report crime statistics to the FBI, resulting in a “50-year low” in reported criminal activity.

To create the illusion of a strong and healthy American society, the Biden regime is now blatantly lying about crime rates.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), crime rates nationwide have plunged to a 50-year low. Murders, rapes, robberies, thefts and property crimes are supposedly much less frequent than they were half a century ago – but is it true?

It turns out that left-wing cities, which is most of them, are no longer reporting crime to the FBI like they once did. As such, the data appears to suggest a safer and stronger America, which is anything but true.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) found that almost 40 percent of local law enforcement agencies no longer transmit data to the national FBI database. This is how the Biden regime is getting away with lying about crime.

“In 2021, 37% of police departments stopped reporting crime data to the FBI (including large departments for Chicago, Los Angeles and New York), and for other jurisdictions, like Baltimore and Nashville, crimes are being underreported or undercounted,” reported Red State’s “Bonchie,” citing CPRC data.

The truth of the matter is that America is arguably more dangerous than ever before, all things considered. Metropolitan areas continue to face rampant smash-and-grab incidents, as well as break-ins, robberies and all sorts of violence as the country descends into a depression.

Country Example #1: Why Did Zimbabwe “De-Industrialize”

The constant explanation for the decline of the Midwest is that it was due to foreign competition in the key manufacturing areas of the Midwestern cities. However, de-industrialization is not only caused by foreign competition. At the 22:30 mark in the video — it is explained that mismanagement by the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe led to..

Rapid de-industrialization as production ceased and imports rose. One after another public services like electricity, sewage, transportation, schools and hospitals crumbed as by the time they received funding, the money had already depreciated to almost nothing. Many professionals foreseeing a grim future fled the nation, leading to crumbling infrastructure and an alarming deficit of doctors and teachers. 

This occurred when Zimbabwe transitioned from a white-run government to a black-run government. Any country or city that is black-run will end up being “de-industrialized” because industrialization is a function of a society that is beyond what blacks can manage. Blacks invented nothing that is part of industrialization; it was brought to blacks by whites, and blacks think they can manage it as well as whites can. It should be evident that an industrialized society contains inventions, technologies, and organizational structures — none of which were invented by Black people. Furthermore, there has never been a prosperous black society by a white standard.

Therefore, the question of any city that begins as white and is then taken over by blacks is not if it will de-industrialize, but when it will de-industrialize. This is another way of saying that blacks can’t manage any society that was initially developed by whites. And it is not only whites. Blacks cannot maintain a society created by North Asians or many other higher-performing societies. This illustrates that “de-industrialization” is not imposed by outside forces, but is primarily due to internal performance and behavior.
