Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Amid rampant violence, urban decay and racial strife across much of the ultra-Liberal heartland, more and more Whites are migrating to the suburbs and rural areas. However, as disaffection for the pale-face tribe continues to climb, this demographic is facing some unexpected hurdles along the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For even the most progressive liberal, the daunting problems plaguing America\u2019s inner cities \u2013 homelessness, homicide, racial tensions and of course Covid lockdowns \u2013 is becoming too much to bear. Now, an increasing number of Americans are pulling up stakes out of Dodge for some semblance of peace and security. But there\u2019s just one rusty catch to this great migration \u2013 the White escapees, together with long-term residents \u2013 may no longer be welcomed with open arms as they once were. After all, the White man is becoming a second-class citizen in the country of his ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In scenes more reminiscent of apartheid South Africa, Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters have been flocking to the posh suburbs of Portland and Seattle, demanding that its gentrified citizens make amends for the original sin of being born \u2018White and privileged\u2019. Aroused from their slumber by the Faustian chant of \u2018Wake up, motherf**kers!\u2019 suburbanites are getting gratuitous lectures on the brand new woke version of American history, which says that the land where they now reside was, in the words of one agitator, \u201cBlack people land.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cDo you know that before your White -ss came here, this was all Black people,\u201d the young man asked his bleary-eyed audience peering through their blinds. \u201cDo you know that people like you came in here and basically bought all the land from the Black people for less than what it was worth and kicked them out so you could live here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Black Lives Matter mob demands White people move out of neighborhood and give their homes to black people.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K2ywb899zS\">https:\/\/t.co\/K2ywb899zS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mark Dice (@MarkDice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkDice\/status\/1294076760078684160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The homeowners were then instructed by the foul-mouthed Soros-funded protester to \u201cdo something about it.\u201d Apparently that means handing over the deeds of their domiciles to the mob.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Had the activists conducted a door-to-door survey, however, they may have been surprised to learn that the demographic makeup of these neighborhoods \u2013 Black, Asian, Korean, Jewish, etc. \u2013 roughly corresponds to the total number of representatives from any respective race across the country. Since Whites of European heritage, for example, still make up around 70 percent of the total population of the United States, it should come as no surprise that their numbers would stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In any case, this scenario places the average White American, who is \u2018guilty\u2019 of purchasing property on the marketplace at an agreed price, into a very precarious situation. On the one hand, they, like all people, want to provide the safest and most livable conditions for themselves and their families. Yet, the left-leaning politicians in control of many of these major cities \u2013 New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and Portland, for example \u2013 heeding the demands of radical activist groups and progressive politicians, are working at cross-purposes of the status quo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Amid the George Floyd protests, activists began to make some shocking demands on the authorities, which included defunding and disarming the police. The politicians were only too happy to comply with their wild wishes. To add injury to assault, the citizenry were put on notice that they were at risk of running afoul of the law if they took any actions to protect themselves. That is something that Mark and Patricia McCloskey discovered the hard way after BLM protesters trespassed onto their property and the lawyers flashed firearms. St. Louis Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner, who was catapulted into office with some support from George Soros, ignited a constitutional firestorm when she charged the couple with a felony for the \u201cunlawful use of a firearm.\u201d Incidentally, the McCloskeys will be among the guest speakers at the Republican National Convention.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is an outrageous abuse of power <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WWftfcqXdZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/WWftfcqXdZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HawleyMO\/status\/1285363169238687744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Meanwhile, aside from declaring war on the Second Amendment during the hot riot season, liberal mayors and governors, under the guise of \u201cprotecting Americans,\u201d have cranked up the heat on their Covid pet projects, prohibiting exactly those activities that matter most to conservative Americans, like attending a baseball game, cutting grass and observing the Sabbath. On the other hand, looters and vandals get a free pass to destroy property, attack police and act like your average thug. And if by some chance the police actually arrest a looter or vandal, you can be sure a Hollywood celebrity will very publicly fork over the bail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Perhaps the authorities do not take such disturbing trends seriously because the playing field, so to speak, is not even. Consider, for example, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a liberal Democrat, who ordered the city police to keep protesters away from her home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cI make no apologies whatsoever for that,\u201d Lightfoot said. \u201cWe are living in very different times and \u2026 I have an obligation to keep my home, my wife, my 12-year-old, and my neighbors safe. \u2026 I have a right to make sure that my home is secure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">No sane person would question that statement. We all want to feel protection on our streets. The problem, however, is the glaring double standards and hypocrisy that grants violent protesters carte blanche, while punishing ordinary citizens who wish to protect themselves. And when push comes to shove, and \u2018White flight\u2019 becomes the only alternative, yet another hurdle has been thrown up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Today, gentrified suburban homeowners, many of whom have taken the knee in support of BLM, are now being asked to put their money where their yards are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cTo achieve real equity \u2026 white allies will have to move beyond symbolic displays of solidarity and actually help Black Americans get into their neighborhoods,\u201d Noah Y. Kim, advocating on behalf of radical zoning reform that threatens to eradicate the tranquility of suburban life, wrote in the pages of the Boston Globe. \u201cThis would entail the elimination of single-family zoning, a receptiveness to building affordable developments, and increased tenant protections for low-income residents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In other words, the urban escape hatch is being gradually slammed shut, indefinitely, not just for White Americans, but for any person regardless of color, creed or religion looking for a slice of peace and tranquility in a world gone slightly mad. If this were allowed to happen, the United States would quickly collapse \u2013 not from any racial reasons \u2013 but from under the weight of its own internal contradictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategic-culture.org\/news\/2020\/08\/25\/white-flight-or-fight-either-way-american-dream-is-turning-into-nightmare\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The escape hatch is being shut, indefinitely, for any person regardless of colour who wants to flee America\u2019s urban nightmare <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-212607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=212607"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":212634,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212607\/revisions\/212634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=212607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=212607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=212607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
