Blacks are vanishing from cities.

Black folks are fleeing city life. In such disparate American cities as Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Houston and Atlanta, African Americans are evaporating as Whites are pouring back into the urban core, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. San Francisco’s vanishing Black problem has gotten to the point where Mayor Gavin Newsome even established a special team to work on ways to convince African Americans from leaving. In that city, Black deaths are dramatically outpacing Black births. In D.C., between 2000 and 2006, the White population grew by 24,000 Whites, while the Black population declined by 21,000. What was a 72-percent Black city in the 1970s is now 60-percent African American. The report attributes the population shift to rising real estate costs and Black flight to the suburbs.

Florida driver faces race charges. The Florida driver who allegedly ran down a woman on a bicycle, just because she’s Black, is now facing two felony hate-crime charges. Earlier this month, police arrested Thomas Cosby after he allegedly crashed into 25-year-old Nekedia Cato, who was hospitalized with a broken leg and internal injuries. She had been riding her bike on the sidewalk along a state road when Cosby allegedly rode onto the sidewalk to hit her. Witnesses said Cosby ranted a slew of racial gibberish about wanting to kill Black folks. He has been charged with aggravated battery and battery.
