The Democrats killed a bunch of people in Wilmington, destroyed all black owned businesses, ran people out of town, took over city government. It was a coup but is incorrectly call the, Wilmington Race Riot.
You want to see a town where de facto segregation is still strong, visit Wilmington.
Isn't that true of Charlotte too?
No, not at all. There are a few very affluent neighborhoods but even there you have a relatively proportional number of minorities with higher paying jobs living there too. There are very few areas where you don't see some faces of color.
Wilmington, outside of downtown, is lily-white in neighborhoods, businesses, and shopping areas. Coming from Charlotte it was a little hard to comprehend. Felt like a town in the Grain Belt with seawater in the air.
I don't think that is a fair statement. Living here shopping and working i have seen much diversity. Certainly the richer neighborhoods are more white but overall I think our schools and neighborhoods are diverse
