The Fire Rises is related to "Baneposting" which came from this scene:
It may have been adopted for the meaning you said, not sure...
But even for non radical whites the issue of avoiding even passing through shitty black neighborhoods the cause from redlining, property taxes going to local schools to richer get better ones, white flight are complex problems. I would say that property taxes to pay for education is rooted in classism and racism.
BUT, for a white person the rational decision is to NOT live in shitty areas with blacks - even if that same shittiness was partially caused by white politicians and voters. I won't be made to feel bad about not wanting to live in a black area after having been attacked by blacks twice as a white teenager back in the day.
