1999: Is Charlottesville's petition to revert to town status valid? #cville #WhiteFlight #sprawl https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/va-supreme-court/1335669.html

Oink! 3 #gammons will be spending Christmas and a few months after that in #jail after travelling from semi-rural areas of #Essex to East #London, stalking #multicultural community buildings and where #BritishMuslims gathered for #education and #prayer and leaving pig heads and racist #graffiti

There would have been a significant amount of pre-planning, the buildings targeted are *not* obvious #mosques and the men drove some distance from villages on the other side of #Brentwood (I'd always suspected many of these places to be #WhiteFlight areas from multicultural London)

Another great, in-depth report from Capital B News. This one's about the water system in Jackson, Mississippi, which, after two years of fighting between residents, Jackson officials, and state officials, is still in a state of disrepair, spitting contaminated, often tea-colored water out of residents' taps. Capital B reporters unearthed evidence that the EPA failed to act on its own reports about Jackson's water quality, thereby leaving a large amount of federal money, which could have been used to prevent the crisis, unspent.

I hope you do! I hope you send them some money too!

@cam @chargrille @StillIRise1963 Typically, in the #US fashion of #whiteFlight, it is now a majority-#Black city.

As far as I am concerned the #GOP is the #DogWhistle #eugenics party now. #MoralPanic #WhiteFlight

A new 56-page report shows that the population of Black people in Boston and the Greater Boston area is increasing. (Cue any racist members of the white community in Boston opting for white flight or getting angrier or more violent.) https://bit.ly/3zCSPVD #BlackMastodon #Mastodon #whiteflight #usa #boston

I'll let you guess where the Bentley dealership is.

I've been slow to contribute here, still thinking the tweetzone might survive and transform in a mix of better and worse ways... in the struggle for the better towards the good @stephjoke over there... critique of #whiteflight cuz maybe #socialpanic ... noticing Black Twitter going nowhere... more endurance to hostile institutions, perhaps? Also very focused on sustained interaction rather than one-offs or pile-ons. We change the world through consistent intention.

In response to legitimate critiques about academia’s #whiteflight to Mastodon, how are we reflecting on our decision to jump here or add this platform to our repertoire?

Ie #histodons @histodons @histodons - which is a great list - was largely white the last time I checked.

Cishet white people have the least to lose when resisting M*sk and fascism in general. How do we keep supporting more minoritized folks?
