That is an excellent question. Because our neighborhoods are generally nicer, and therefore attractive to other races. When that neighborhood is ruined, they go to the next.

so many of you obviously don't like to open your eyes to white racism. Just because there are more predominant white neighborhoods does not mean we should have to give up that right either. Ive also seen where they renovated a poor and dominant black neighborhood and they tore it down again. Ask yourself this? Why are there only black colleges allowed and not an all white one? Goes with the first question.

I don't think you understand the process of colonization.
First, there is no such thing as "white" culture. White is an abitrary name we assign to European cultures which means nothing, since there are many cultural traditions within causasian populations.
The European nations embarked upon a process of colonizing the rest of the world for several centuries. They brought their culture to the locations they colonized by force.
These colonization processes brought people from around the world together -- often by force, sometimes by economic necessity, and at times by incentive -- and allowed them to evolve their cultures into a fusion.
There is no pure expression of culture. AfroAmerican culture is not uniform, and is the result of the fusion of African, Latin and European traditions. Latin American culture is a very complicated mix of traditions from Spain, various indigeneous cultures and other influences. Look at modern India, and Hong Kong, and Japan, whose modern culture is very much the product of fusion of western ways with their own traditions.
I think you are looking at difference more than similarity. If you look to see what is common between people and their ways of being, you will be shocked at how much we act the same.
And if "white" culture can be seen as too white, it is because it is the dominant culture in a context of multiculturalism and assimilation. It too must bend and should not guard itself from enjoying the traditions and expressions of the larger world.

Interesting question. There are neighborhoods in Houston that were all white and shifted to all black, not they are heading back all white and the outcry is that the blacks are being victimized because of higher property values.

I've seen lower income areas revitalized and then some whites move into the area. Take Utica New York for example. Millions of federal monies were pumped into an area to revitalize it.

what? it is not true, here in my city, they also bring traditionally 'white' events and stuff into the black part of town.
it works both ways. in fact i used to work at a historically and predominately black university and they gave a scholarship just for not being black (a minority at that school). so your theory is not correct

What labored for some hundred years replaced into the "melting pot" theory in which immigrants like my father got here right here with the point of turning into American and, like him, retained delight and fondness for his us of a of beginning even as considering himself as American first, with out favor for a hyphen. This replaced right into a procedure, not a static concern, so at any time an immigrant inhabitants may have many participants who ought to not talk English &/or who lived in truly closed communities even as they & their little ones made the transition. (convinced, i recognize: evil racist us of a, pressured into ghettos, yadda yadda. there is reality to that yet for most populations it replaced right into a localized or non everlasting concern that interior the destiny produced a blended & quite useful custom.) starting up interior the 1970s, "melting pot" replaced into steadily replaced by skill of "multicultural" which refers, not for all immigrants or maybe for most yet, for too many people, to coming right here with out purpose of assimilating yet in basic terms to reap the wealth of the rustic.

liar.
give an example if you are not just trying to be inflammatory.
why are you letting people show how bigoted they are? they don't even realize what they are saying. or they do, they just don't know how wrong they are.
