One of the most interesting results from the 2010 census, little discussed by the media, was the large scale movement of African Americans over the past 10 years from Democrat controlled cities in the northern United States including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and New York to the more conservative south. In an historic reversal of the 20th century migration that brought millions north in search of economic opportunity, African American families are abandoning the failed liberal communities in which they have lived for decades.

Over the past 50 years predominantly black neighborhoods throughout the north have been treated by Democratic Party as socialist proving grounds. While under single party rule, traditional American virtues like self reliance, family, and education were abandoned in favor of liberal ideology that promoted victimhood and welfare. Not unexpectedly the socialist experiment worked about as well for the black community as it did for the Soviet Union. Instead of the utopian dream, the only thing many African Americans received in return for their loyalty to the Democratic Party was drug and violence filled streets and social devastation.

Democrat politicians’ commitment to minorities turned out to be nothing more than fleeting campaign talk as most turned a blind eye to widespread corruption and government mismanagement which plagued black communities. Much of the billions of dollars allocated by society over the years to help African Americans have been directed towards campaign donors and politically connected organizations that often delivered substandard services and shoddy work. Before joining the White House, presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett was the owner of Grove Parc Plaza, a publicly financed housing development in President Obama’s home district in Chicago. She was paid millions by the state to provide housing for low income residents however, after only a few years of use, federal inspectors determined the complex was in such poor condition that “the buildings now face demolition.â€

There are some other economic cultural factors behind the demise of Detroit and the other cities of the Rust-Belt. The rest of the US could be headed in the same direction if we don't adjust to the reality of foreign competition. And the fad among "'progressive" Americans has been to snub American products, ensuring that the race to the bottom will happen that much faster. In this "progressive" city there are thousands of fancy imported autos, runnin' around with the "Obama 08" sticker.
