New readers who wonder why I call American Democrats the Party of No Guts and Republicans the Party of No Brains can look to East-West Gateway’s latest Where We Stand report (pdf) on St. Louis Racial segregation for part of my reasoning.
Go ahead and point out the PNBs’ legendary record of racial hang-ups to justify your support for the PNGs—then look at this Black-White segregation metrics chart I grabbed from the WWS report. Most of the top 20 American metropolitan areas with this most segregation are filled with…Democrats.
Here’s an observation which may astound some of you—the cosmopolitan capital of the nation known as New York City is number two! But some of you already know that NYC has taken segregation to a different level these days.
And of course American segregation 3.0 is almost always accompanied by public policies that reinforce racial inequality across health, social and economic dimensions.
