Out of curiosity, would you be as accepting had someone said they wanted to make sure the place they moved to wasn't all black people, since they had white kids?

Btw: demographics can easily be looked up online.

Yes, I would. I think it is up to the person moving to decide the criteria for their move. And not to up to anyone else. BTW, the attitudes of people can't be ascertained by looking them up online. Instead, one might post a question in a forum for people actually living somewhere.

I know better than that, if someone posted on any city forum saying they didn't want to live where there were all black people because their kids were white, the post would have been removed and the poster would have been chastised over and over again labeled as a racist and a bigot. You know that too so let's not pretend otherwise.

YOU cannot speak for me. YOU don't know me. And I stand by my statement 100%. It is up to the person doing the moving to determine what criteria is important to them. I don't care what the criteria is. If their criteria is optimal viewing of the next solar eclipse, it's valid.

And in this case, the OP only wanted to be assured that her children would be accepted and welcomed. That's all. It's a completely valid concern.

If you insist, but most people have enough common sense to know better. I'm sure you'd be just as accepting if it were the other way around.

Yes, I'd be just as accepting. Are you done?

With trying to flame this discussion.

All the OP was doing was trying to find out from people who live in NWA if her children would be accepted and welcomed as well as to determine if the area fit the other criteria she laid out. That's perfectly legitimate .

Tia was agreeing with me, and your response to her was out of line.
First of all, there is no requirement that a CD member be a resident of a certain state in order to participate in that states forum. That's akin to these goofballs who think you can only support a college sports team if you actually attended that school. I have a special attachment to Arkansas and have been an active participant in the Arkansas forum for 3 years running. I don't know everything about the state, but I know enough to provide occasional information and to advise people like the OP that Arkansas is not the place they're looking for when it's more than obvious. Feel free to comb over my previous posts and point out anything that you find to be erroneous in correlation with actual facts about the Natural State. Sorry, but when someone comes on here asking if they can live in a southern state with no AC and if it gets above 80 degrees there that makes me think they're in here forum jumping without any real intention of seriously considering moving to the area. In addition, the OP already had just about everything on her wish list where she already lives. It sounds like she's bored and needs a hobby, not an out of state relocation. The racial thing speaks for itself, and I won't even bother arguing that point further, except to reiterate that I'm tired of people using the term "diversity" as a personal get out of jail free card for their canned racism - against whites especially, as was the case here.

As for Tia, she said that the OP had not returned to the thread and was assuming she was no longer interested in moving to NWA, when in fact the OP HAD returned to the thread and declared just that. I simply pointed out that Tia didn't bother to read the entire thread and instead used her assumption to take a swipe at me for "dissuading" OP.......and I thought THAT was out of line, if you'll forgive me for borrowing your scathing tag.

I did nothing to flame the discussion, in fact, it was you who first came to this thread to wag your finger at others.

I just called you on it.
