Mostly-White Beavercreek, Dayton, Ohio Suburb Fighting To Prevent Mostly-Black Bus-Riders From Entering Community (Instead of Tennessee Williams' 'Streetcar Named Desire,' this could be the 'Dayton Bus Named Black Flash Mobs.')

Mostly-White Ohio Suburb Fighting To Prevent Mostly-Black Bus-Riders From Entering Community

A lily-white Ohio suburb is doing everything it can, including risking millions in federal highway funding, to keep mostly minority bus-riders from a nearby city from entering their community.

     You have to wonder what the reaction would be if some news source were to publish an article like this one, only beginning ''A black-as-the-ace-of-spades Ohio suburb . . .'

The showdown began in 2010 when the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority proposed adding three new bus stops in Beavercreek, a largely white suburb 15 minutes east of Dayton. These new stops would give Dayton bus-riders access to Beavercreek’s major shopping mall and nearby businesses, as well as a medical clinic and Wright State University.

Facing the prospect of buses coming in from Dayton, the Beavercreek City Council began enacting as many hurdles as they could to stop the new bus stops. . . .
