I would love nothing more than to be driving through a black neighborhood and feel that it is unneeded to roll my windows up and lock my doors. I have yet to drive through a trailer park that I was scared of. Wouldn't leave my car unlocked but I certainly wouldn't expect to be pulled through my window at an intersection. That’s the real shame in all of this. That’s what us conservative white folk hate about this country right now. I am tolerant of any culture that doesn’t threaten my family’s safety.

How am I attacking the poster?

Quote:
I have a good god fearing white family and if I move to Atlanta I don’t want my wife to be howled at or raped by minorities who seem to be born with a sixth sense of disrespect to woman. I also have a daughter. My thinking is that if she is not around a lot of black people the chances of her becoming one of some black guy’s baby’s momma are much slimmer. You can teach them all you want but it happens to good families all the time. That would just break my heart.
Sounds like fear of minorities to me.

Texas and Atlanta are full of US - minorities. I'm just putting it out there that if they are afraid of minorities, Atlanta probably isn't a good fit. And I'D rather not live near someone with such an ignorant mindset.

You are so right. I'm off to have an adult beverage with a few other people who don't mind/aren't afraid of minorities and enjoy my evening.

The original poster is absolutely correct in his assessment of crime and race. The statistics bear out what he states. Blacks are by far much more likely to commit a crime. Seriously, all you have to do is a google search for FBI crime stats, and you see the truth for what it is. Why attack the messenger, a person who simply wants to look at for his family, and one who wants to be around his own kind; all people desire the same, regardless as to whether they admit it or not.

Sure, he started out defensive, but it's probably because he's read this forum before. It's common if you've seen the forum that it has an obviously liberal bent/readership. He likely felt compelled to put it out up front.

When you attack someone for their personal preferences, you're not being very tolerant, something that many liberals like to pride themselves on.

Live and Let Live, and Love!
To spout off a juvenile, stereotypical whine and prop it up as undeniable fact is really narrow-minded and silly...

What's more, the original poster and yourself display a common characteristic---an unshakable belief that anything one says about blacks as criminals, or statistics or google searches that claim to validate those beliefs, are the set-in-stone gospel truth...

And just because people are not lining up to kiss your rumpus as you spout all that nonsense, doesn't make them liberals...that's another crock of BS, another silly little name you call people who are not buying that divisive-a** junk...

It's a wonderful thing that City-Data and the world don't revolve around what YOU view...in plain English, nobody is paying attention to you and all your statistics and hot air, quiet as it's kept...

In a city of over 5,000,000 people you need to be more concerned with security. We have trailer parks here and I would advise you to be forewarned that drugs and drug related crimes are an issue.

Contact officials in Gwinnett county and gather statistics on crime. Gwinnett has larger Hispanic and Asian and other populations than many of the other metro counties.

Certainly you could search in Cherokee County--in NW Atlanta and plan on one of the worst commutes imaginable to NE Atlanta--I wouldn't consider it.

There are parts of Tucker that would be fine with most of us.

Can we please stop using the word "ignorant". Ashley and Steve is not ignorant. If one is ignorant, they simply do not know. What this poster has posted is statistically true, so let's drop the facade of being superior in beliefs to him/her. Since statistics bear out what he/she says, is it really him who is ignorant, or is it the individuals attacking him for holding such views. Logically, it'd be the latter.

A white person can have such views and be proud of such views, and shouldn't have to be attacked for them, as though they're trash, when they're not. I think what the attacks really come down to are "minorities" sensibilities being hurt, and they are lashing out at the poster. The other contingent is that of the white, easily-influenced, left-wing crowd who lets mainstream society dictate how they think about "controversial topics".

People need to be more real and get over this "How can you say such a thing, you're ignorant" complex.

I have been nothing but respectful. I simply have disagreed with the attitude of some people on this forum.

Different strokes for different folks. Right?
