Black suburbanization replicated city racial divides along compass axes

Evidence

And, to be sure, white flight itself had not come to rest. Indeed, as Gingrich and his allies pressed the course of suburban conservatism on the national stage, white flight continued to surge in their own districts. Over the course of the 1980s and 1990s, a steady stream of minorities moved into the suburbs around Atlanta, dramatically altering their racial composition. Mirroring the patterns of racial division inside the city, these new black suburbanites largely settled in counties to the east and south. Still, significant numbers ventured into the predominantly white northern counties as well. — Kevin M. Kruse, White Flight, 588
