These atomic youngsters are enamoured by the lights and sounds of big city life and see no solidarity for themselves in racial terms.
They’re too stupid to flee!
I’m thinking of putting my camera to good use and launching a photo-blog called: “White Flight”
Alexandria Virginia (where I live) is a study in racial self-deception in it’s own right. The planners try to impose a charming European culture onto the Old Town district in order to promote tourism, and yet at the same time, they despise the charming European culture…you can almost feel the tension as you walk around. (Imagine the irony of seeing a tour-guide in colonial dress guiding a group of arabs around the tavern where George Washington once drank! “...Land where our fathers died…” they sing!?!)
I never thought brick sidewalks and gas lanterns could be liars!
