Interviewed for an article at CNSNews, Robert Woodson who heads the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise asks what would happen in our poor inner city areas if all white people moved away, went to Canada? He asks it rhetorically, to make the point that who can improve those benighted areas are their residents.
Actually, we know the answer to his question. Woodson's hypothetical scenario is essentially what has happened in South Africa. Whites who were running the country have either left - many are expats - or have been pushed aside. The results are not pretty. Once the most developed country in sub-Saharan Africa, it is rapidly regressing toward the entirely depressing mean for the region.
Nearer home, Detroit or Baltimore might come to mind as dreary examples of this same scenario playing out. The whites have gone elsewhere, it hasn't made conditions better. If anything, their circumstances are worse. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
