Progressives Are The Real Segregationists

Progressives are fond of calling out conservatives as "racists”.  According to them, racial segregation is a result of the backward attitudes of conservatives toward racial equality. 


In a 2013 report professors John Logan and Brian Stults of Brown University and Florida State University analyzed 2010 Census data for major cities using a dissimilarity index. The dissimilarity index measures the percentage of one group that would have to move to a different neighborhood to put an end to segregation. Here are the top 10 US cities based on that index.

1.   Milwaukee 
2.   New York 
3.   Chicago 
4.   Detroit 
5.   Cleveland 
6.   Buffalo 
7.   St. Louis 
8.   Cincinnati 
9.   Philadelphia 
10. Los Angeles 

Note that all of these cities are hotbeds of Progressivism where local government has been controlled by Democrats for decades. If Progressives actually (as opposed to rhetorically) abhor segregation, why would they not have done something in the places they already run -- far from the influences of those evil conservatives? Actions speak louder than words. Especially in places like Milwaukee, New York, Chicago and Detroit.
