I was just in Baltimore and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the city surrounded by black neighborhoods. I saw a thriving integrated communiity with black people running businesses, workiing, participating, energised. The criminal class is a small minority just as in the white community. Hey, even the drug dealers looked good and prosperous.

I live in a city with a high black population.
Most of them are the nicest, warmest people.
They are wonderful neighbors.
Before retiring from the decorating business, I worked in their homes.
They have the same fears we have when it comes to crime.
I have never heard one of them slur whites, they are for the most part upper class and have no reason to resent.

Thanks. If I need any drugs I now know where to go. Do you think I look out of place with a rifle on my shoulder.
