Self-respect should be the priority, based on accomplishments in learning and actual abilities. Any kid, black or white, who's a good reader/mathematician/general scholar, is MUCH better equipped to handle life than some kid who's had sunshine blown up his rear end. Kids in the latter situation grow up to find that no matter how much "self-esteem" they've been taught, they aren't equipped to DO anything legitimate. They've been cheated and lied to. |

There might be a few areas like that, but it's not typical.

Add Mountain Brook to that list. But I personally feel that anyone will be welcome in MB.

Everybody is racist everywhere, its simply different in other regions. and its not really even racism so much as it is "ism." japanese people hate chinese people, muslems hate jews, white people were discriminated against by other white people for being a different nationality. the world would be a better place if everyone stopped thinking they were the ones whose views were the correct ones and just start accepting people en masse. i.e. who cares what other people do/who they are as long as it doesn't hurt you personally
and the thing i've noticed about southern folks is that more people are extremely polite and helpful but less of them are genuinely warm. and another thing i've experienced since i've been out here is a real "hate whitey" vibe from some black people. i don't like being the target of someone's inner rage that revolves around something that i had nothing to do with in neither a cultural nor historical context. ![]() Last edited by CaligirlinNawlins; 03-10-2008 at 06:24 AM.
