So is Olympia Fields, IL. The house I grew up in was a few blocks outside of Olympia Fields and I'm white. It's racially mixed but majority black..

People on this thread are just saying "black" but they really mean "majority black". Olympia Fields is NOT black the way Vermont is white, believe me.

Thats true. I actually meant to say Olympia Fields is the wealthiest majority black mucipality.

In reality its pretty close to being half white/half black

agreed. There are more wealthy blacks in neighborhoods in Detroit than in southfield. Palmer Woods and surrounding areas comes to mind. I can't picture southfield blacks to be much or any more wealthier than them

Boston-Edison has or had it's share and the same with the Villages(Indian and East English). I think Rosedale Park is still alright.

There are no black affluent communities.

NAME ONE.

All blacks are from the crime-ridden ghetto and that's where they will stay.











I bet a lot of people think that.

True and if you go by the media, you'd think all of Oakland is rough.

Sad but true.

The Wayans Brothers were trying to build a movie studio in Oakland a while back and I went to a mixer they were at. Anyway the 2 younger ones(forgot their names) were telling me how they couldnt believe that Oakland had so many "Huxtable" like Black folks. LOL.
