Right...we should sing Kumbayah too.
NO...its not because of the color of their skin. Its because, quite frankly...neighborhoods eventually become unsafe for families with kids and crime increases when a greater propensity of lower income class blacks or hispanics move in; when THAT stops happening, people will change their "generalization" about blacks and hispanics moving into a given neighborhood...sorry about the reality check...there are exceptions...but its %90 true...facts have been backing it up for years.
Its not racist to NOT want to live in a higher crime area...the numbers back my statements up, and any sane, intelligent person knows it...so flame the hell away.
Actually, its because the surrounding towns are awful, but you get the point.
If I was a decent, educated, and successful black person living in a primarily white or mixed-race neighborhood, I would be fearful of too many other blacks settling nearby. History illustrates over, and over, and over again that neighborhood degradation isn't too far down the road when this occurs. Good, honorable, and law-abiding black people must reverse that situation on a city-by-city basis.
