Assigning blame to those who left for the actions or inactions of those left behind is a mistake.
Urban Churches find it possible to build megachurches with grand materials. Yet they can't manage to make a dent in urban blight? No. Easier to blame the racists who left.
I'd keep my mouth shut... except that this idea is so destructive to the city I love. There's no excuse for the poor level of urban housekeeping in the City. Not racism, poverty, nor disinvestment and corporate green. Wealth Inequality doesn't explain the problem.
Underneath, there's a social problem that needs to be addressed. Denial and blame won't help.
