My family is a multicultural one. We consist of many races and nationalities. Therefore I don’t consider myself racist. And when I say that segregation sounds like an ok idea to me, it’s not from a racist perspective.

Most of the black people in our country have a degree of white/European blood in them. So I don’t get why they would feel less than human around whites. It is understandable that anybody of any race or nationality would feel more comfortable around those like them. I think that should be respected. Cities used to have sections where like minded people or nationalities lived and/or worked. Even today, some bigger cities have a “China town”. There used to be a French quarter, or Puerto Rican quarter, Italian quarter etc. These placces were fun places to visit because you got a taste of their culture, food, traditions. People have been robbed of those traditions! You can love your special culture while still loving America! People did for years.

In my multicultural neighborhood, people keep to themselves. The blacks associate with the blacks, the hispanics the same. The whites are friendly toward everyone but the others don’t want that friendship. However, all the kids play together. If a disaster happens, they don’t want our (whites) comfort or support nor do they lend theirs when something bad happens...except for one black man. That one associates with everybody and if Im on the front porch, he will come by and have coffee.

I don’t see as much racism coming from whites as I do from nonwhites. Even among the blacks, color matters. Light colored blacks aren’t as good as dark colored blacks.

The hispanics don’t care for whites but if a white woman is dating an hispanic man, they welcome her in. Otherwise, the door is closed.

Well, there are whites who are uncomfortable with other nationalities and cultures too and have experiences the snubs offered by them.

I think there have been good and bad results as a reselt of segregation. I think its contributed to problems with gangs as it violates human nature and needs.
