"It's almost when people see Black neighborhoods, they see twice as much crime than there actually is. They see worse education than there actually is," Perry said. "I think this is what's happening when appraisers, lenders, real estate agents see Blackness. They devalue the asset. They devalue the property."
I mean, I don't think they see 12x the crime, which would be twice as much as there actually is relative to white neighborhoods. And twice the funding doesn't even get half the graduation rate in black neighborhoods.
Very interesting video on the subject, with a case study of a neighborhood that went from 92.2% White and 2.2% Black to 33.2% White and 58.8% Black in the course of a decade.
The first wave of Black residents tried to assimilate into the White culture, but the second wave didn't; and as the neighborhood started to decline the Whites and Jews fled. Which just increased the number homes for sale and the number of Black residents buying into the neighborhood and making the situation worse.

No one wants to live by black people - including black people - because they are wildly more violent and criminal.

Yup, "White flight" is really just a natural reaction to the fact that wherever blacks go, crime follows.
