When the suburbanites consider cities and ghettos "no go areas" and dangerous, they have to know the people living there are often PoC and horribly oppressed by society/capitalism. The suburb folks, I think, are guiltily aware that they benefit from the oppression going on in cities, and would be angry if it was happening to them, so they expect to be the targets of revenge if they went into those poor communities. Hence, racist projection from a guilty conscience.
Ah, OK. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. That was the cause of a lot of the hatred against Obama (as opposed to, you know, the legitimate reasons to hate him). They assumed that a black president would get revenge on white people for everything they did. That was also the basis behind the FEMA concentration camps conspiracy theory.
Can you elaborate?
