Same here. I sincerely believed that people were so racist that they left the cities because they couldn’t stand to live near black people.
I have an excuse, though. I’m an immigrant. If Americans tell me they are like that, why should I disbelieve them? I heard this all the time, repeated like a mantra, with no other explanation offered. Why was I supposed to doubt it?
With the number of immigrants coming in, any person who can explain things beyond the ruling narrative is worth their weight in gold. We can’t turn our noses at anyone because the things that a newcomer gets told are very tendentious, and people believe them because there’s no alternative narrative anywhere.
