The only racist person in this thread is you. And progressivism is a morally bankrupt enterprise whose existent is justified to cure the problems it creates.
>It's funny you read 'hate' into my comment.
It is not so funny, because you could make a very minor tweak to your comment, and even you can see it is unacceptable:
"Personally, I don't care at all if urban Detroit dies. I'm living in an urban "community" myself right now, and it's honestly torturous. I'm glad people are moving to away to raise their children because, frankly, it seems abusive raising a child in this environment. There's no Uber, basically no other apps, very few amusements, and virtually zero culture beyond what the majority in the area (old black people) prefer. The lack of competition in general means that there are very few new things, and lots of old, crappy things. Raising children in this area deprives them of stimulation that will literally mean their brains are less dense and less able to fluidly adapt to new situations."
It hard to keep track of who to hate. Apparently it is OK to hate old people. Or maybe just old white people. Or is it just old people who live in rural areas? And also apparently we should hate those who aren't serviced by Uber. And those whose culture we don't like.
How about top 5 all time good books by non-whites (not just what you read in 2014).
You realize that my comment was in response to another comment, and not at the top level, right?
Completely off topic, but I always figured that you'd get better mileage out of "blessed" rather than "privilege".
