Long Island's changing demographics: What do you think? (New York, Islip: middle-class, house prices)

Oh come on. Don't be silly. You will give me a million and one reasons why Tolland County is this and its that and it has nothing to do with the fact that it is one of the Whitest places in the lower tri-state area. If you are not overtly aware of what you are doing then it is a subconscious reaction. Your instincts are serving you well - no need to feel embarrassment.

Yup.

It done get any Whiter than CT.

Its economics that are driving me there...not race.

If the community were Black with a strong HHI, low crime and good schools, Id be fine with it.

Im sorry you see the issue as race...I see it as poverty and ignorance.

Lets agree to disagree.

NorthBabylonResident....why aren't your insticts getting YOU out of NB before everyone on your block is black?
Why are you wasting your time up on your soap box while playing a bizarre game of chess when you should be packing your bags. Run, don't walk.

You are right Clamboy, North Babylon is having trouble - too many blacks bring down the stats.
