Memphis is making strides. I have said all I can say on that topic. I agree that poverty and blight are the true issues in this city (and many cities, counties, towns, and unincorporated hamlets). If your premise is that race is not a motivator in a lot of the shade thrown this way, we will have to agree to disagree. I appreciate your contributions to this discussion.
I live in Harlan Kentucky brother, there is a very good reason I believe what I said to be true, few upward middle class people want to go back in most of the hollers here, and there aren't a lot of folks of color here. Not every freaking class problem in the world has to be about race.

I think he mentioned what he did because the city of Memphis is over 65% African American. Race is a common denominator in many arguments against Memphis. People who have lived in Memphis understand that when conversing with those who haven't. With that said, some folks may not realize that there are many large suburbs of Memphis that are predominantly white (e.g., Germantown, Collierville, Southaven, Bartlett, etc.).
