In Philadelphia during general elections -- Black Panthers threatening voters to vote for Obama. Was there, witnessed it, decided not to vote there -- decided not to vote at all.
In Michigan, small town, very black. We were welcomed. I'd move back there without a second thought. Very large, Christian community. Also a very large Mexican community.
In New York, Queens... Quoting family of mine who lives there.... You're either a wop, a ****, a ****.. And I'm quoting what my grandmother says. She's not being mean, just describing the people she knows, people she's friendly with, goes to Church with...
** City-data didn't like some of the terms I posted. No offense intended, just expressing what I heard growing up. **

Racism in the South? I'm sure it exists here, like it does everywhere... Have you ever lived somewhere where everyone loved everyone else? Can I have the address?

We are living in a decent society that allows every legal citizen — regardless of skin tone or ethnicity — the liberty to choose a path in pursuit of happiness. I have seen enough examples of successful minority professionals living comfortably in Greenville to know that anyone IS capable of achieving a better life if he/she is willing and able to make necessary personal sacrifices and work very hard along the way. We each have been given only one brief life to live here on earth. Please don't waste your real potential on petty distractions and mindless amusements.
