Cities are great because they change. They are dynamic, and the needs of their communities evolve in a changing world, and people move on.
If people are voting with their feet, they are voting with their feet. Best encourage other groups to occupy the real estate that they left behind, instead of holding on to the past.

It's a fair question.
Perhaps the concern isn't about retaining black residents per se, but rather, about what happens if the city cannot retain current residents (who happen to be black) and nobody is there to replace them.
