Or with your neighborhoods suddenly becoming 50% black as a bunch of middle class blacks moved in

In answer, yes I'd have a problem with 50% black, I'd probably be looking to move elsewhere, while receiving value for my home.

But we have about 12% Black in my neighborhood, we have minimal crime and worst trash affenders are home constuctions.

So welcome all that want a crime free neighborhood.

But if you expect special consideration and understanding, I qualify as a racist.

I actually grew up in a neighborhood that was 50% black (West Mt. Airy in Philadelphia), with my section tending towards 65% (the Pelham section - Census Tract 237). I didn't have a problem with it - not much crime (though I did receive a few unwelcome incidents) and nice houses and neighbors. But I can't say I'd live there with my children. White people and black people simply live in seperate worlds, even when they live right next door, so I'd be depriving them of most of their opportunities for friendship, simply because it just doesn't happen - children and especially teenagers tend to group up into race based cliques. I know it, because I lived it for 22 years from 1974 to 1995.
