Perhaps it wasn't racism. Perhaps it was that out of a population of approximately 500,000 people, 340,000 of them - which is most - are black.
Generations of racism are frustratingly slow to end
There's nothing even remotely racist about people with available transportation and the common sense to recognize imminent danger getting out of town while they could.
