I grew up in a white suburb. My dad commuted three hours every day of his life just so us kids could grow up in a town safe from black crime and black dysfunction. Despite that, black kids from 50 miles away still showed up to break into our neighborhood. So yeah we had a gun. https://twitter.com/hornyphilosophr/status/1308572193920446464">https://twitter.com/hornyphil...
Black people love to make fun of the suburbs, but they& #39;re the reason they exist. Do you think white people *enjoy* spending 1/4 of our waking hours commuting every day?
We do it because *we have to*, because blacks make raising a family anywhere near a city impossible.

I once had a friend tell me about the "black tax". It& #39;s not a literal tax. Rather, it& #39;s all the small, daily ways that your peace of mind is impacted by having to live around black people.
It& #39;s a crackhead suddenly screaming on the train. A kid blasting music with no headphones.

It& #39;s a bunch of black girls screaming and pushing each other in public. It& #39;s a black guy catcalling you. It& #39;s a black teenager facetiming at full volume in public. It& #39;s a black homeless guy calling you a cracker.
We tolerate near constant disruptions to our peace.

I visited Germany for the first time a few years ago, and the thing that struck me most was how *quiet* it was. I kept waiting for some random black guy to start yelling, but it never happened. It was just...calm. I could relax in a way that I simply could never do in America.
We got back to America, and as we got off at the train station there were a bunch of black kids screaming at each other, and a homeless guy begging for money. My wife looked at me. We didn& #39;t have to say anything. It was obvious what we were both thinking. We& #39;re back.
The point I& #39;m getting at here is that black people aren& #39;t just a safety risk that forces us to move hours away. They are a source of constant agitation and disruption in our lives that we& #39;ve all just kind of been taught to pretend doesn& #39;t exist. In fact, they lecture *us*.
And that& #39;s not even getting into schools. School integration was the single biggest social failure in this nation& #39;s history. How many thousands of public school districts have fallen apart as a result? And it hasn& #39;t& #39; even benefitted black academic performance.
White southern segregationists have become a punchline. Yet every one of their worst fears about their public schools literally did come true. Public schools across the south--and much of the whole nation--have completely fallen apart. White kids have no choice but to go private.
If you& #39;re a white kid who lives literally anywhere in or near a major metropolitan area, you *cannot* go to public school if you want even a mediocre education. You are forced to cough up tens of thousands to go private, and they *still* bring black kids in on scholarship.
