You appear to live in a rarified world of unreality that few will ever attain to.

While you were busy living in Chicago and Manhattan, did you ever bother to go and even check out Washington Heights or Hyde Park as a place to live? Or better yet, Ozone Park or Canarsie in NYC or the northwest side of Chicago or Harvey?

Ain't it grand to be able to afford to pretend to be non-racist in you all-white enclaves?

BTW, I didn't say I was prejudiced. I just stated certain preferences in my living arrangements. Preferences aren't prejudices. At least not according to the English language I learned.

Gee, Hyde Park is VERY expensive, dear, and while it has some nice places to live, it wasn't where I wanted to live. Washington Heights, when I was growing up, was mostly filled with white, Jews, of European ancestry. The northwest side of Chicago ? As in Wrigkeyville, perhaps ? It just might interest you to know, that now, you can't buy anything there, much under $400,000, for even a " fixer upper.

As for the other places, I don't choose to live in a slum and since I could and can afford better, I did. Obviously, for all of your preening and dropping of your " pedagree ", your ancestors , not only didn't leave you any of their couth, nor money. :-)

I told you, that where I lived wasn't an " ALL WHITE ENCLAVE "; but your reading comprehension isn't quite up to snuff. Yes, NOW , my closest neighbors are white; however, that wasn't always so and our country club, here, has members of ALL races and religions. So does this town ; my immediate neighbors ( and there aren't many ), just happen to be white. If a black or Asian couple moved in nextdoor, I wouldn't have a fit; unless they were damned Liberals or someone like you

Look up the word " preddjudice " ; the meanings are varied and many. You still fit the bill. LOL
