I agree with you entirely; what you said was not racism in my book.

However, you are too late. There is nowhere in this country that is safe. For example, here in PA we have a large Amish and Mennonite population existing side-by-side with a large Hispanic gang population. The only reason the Amish and Mennonites are surviving is because they send their kids to their own schools or they homeschool. I live in a very nice suburban community where many of the white kids act like trash. Where do they get it ? From friends, music, movies, and video games. You can't get away from it anywhere that I've found.

One word: homeschool. You get to influence where your kids find friends and how much exposure they have to those who have undesirable habits.

WTF...how friggin depressing. Thats not the America I grew up in....and I'm only 30, turn 31 in June. It used to be so much easier protecting the innocence of our children. When I look at my 10 mo. old boy...I think, "How bad is it going to be when he's older?" I don't know...I suppose we have to always be on our toes and try our best. Public school has never entered into my mind as an educational option for my kids anyway. (I suppose I should be thankful that I have the means to have other options) I know my life would have turned out totally different if my parents didn't sacrifice and send me to catholic school. I'm enternally grateful to them that they did.
