'White' flight stems from subliminal guilt and a desire to have an unjust advantage

In a summary of the book The Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control by Theodore W. Allen, Lewis Bassett states, "When the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619, there were no "white" people there. Nor, according to colonial records, would there be for another sixty years. In this seminal two-volume work, The Invention of the White Race, Theodore W. Allen tells the story of how America’s ruling classes created the category of the "white race" as a means of social control. Since that early invention, white privileges have enforced the myth of racial superiority, and that fact has been central to maintaining ruling-class domination over ordinary working people of all colors throughout American history." The African slave trade started in the mid 1400’s before the discovery of the Americas. Up until the 1600’s they were called indentured servants. Many races were slaves across the world. When America was settled there not many indentured servants brought with them. The Dutch slave trade ships mostly picked up people from Africa. They quickly found there was a market in the Americas for indentured servants. Very quickly it was easy to tell who the indentured servant was since they were the only black people in America. The superiority did not originally start with it being a race based one. America was settled by Christian fundamentalist. The Puritans and Quaker had no problem trying to whip Jesus in a person. You let that go on for a 50 year and yes it will morph in to something else. When your whole life you have seen black people being sold like cattle, and beaten for the smallest infraction it will make you look down on them. Not like some was saying that not right at this time. Even to this day there are people that think black people are not capable of being a Christian and for this reason they should be slaves. Allen has taken one part of the cultural construction that lead to racism and forced on it being the only cause. Old Single Mom the author J.A. also states at the end of her blog post you cite, “That's my piece, and that's my peace. Thank you for taking the time to read my silly words. It means the world. Carry on...” This source is satire, a joke, or sarcasm depending on how you want to label it. Marty Beckerman about page states: “#1 Amazon.com bestselling humorist. MTV News editor. Contributor to the New York Times, Esquire, Wired, Playboy, Salon, Maxim, the Daily Beast and the Atlantic. USA Today calls his writing "laugh-out-loud." Hunter S. Thompson called him a "morbid little bastard." Again this was satire about comparing race equality to homosexual equality. Leftcheek deuse your 4th source is not reliable. They are doing the same thing we are here but in blog format. They are not even journalists. I could go on citing sources, yet, as the factors that underlie 'white' flight are subliminal, they are rarely admitted to when raised openly and directly. At most they are understated or marginalized. A fact illustrated by my opponent who suggested there were only "some racial problems" during WW II (circa 1937-1945) when segregation and lynchings were rampant and basically legitimized by Jim Crow laws. I did not say that. There was no “white flight” then cities were segregated. The first African Americans to move into what were all white neighbor hoods were WW2 vets. As my opponent requested a more reputable source detailing the 'white' flight out of schools where they were being 'outsmarted' by Asians, I will do so. It deals with the same story. It is written by Suein Hwang of the Wall Street Journal. http://www.freedomcrowsnest.org...... Some excerpts from the article: This is a forum post, this is even less reputable. My opponent has still not show any argument for “white flight”, “subliminal guilt of non-melaninated peoples regarding the past and present systems of racial and economic bias and discrimination developed,propagated and maintained by the evaders and their ancestors.” My opponent is mostly just coping and pasting from sources that really are not that good. My opponent didn’t even read two of their sources thoroughly enough to notice they were jokes for my side of the argument. Also my opponent has not given any rebuttal to my arguments that economics play at least some part to play in this.
