So every opinion that disagrees with your opinion is incorrect? That's what it's sounding like to me right now as you have failed to properly explain exactly why his opinion is "uneducated" besides bragging about how you used to live in Harlem, Compton, and etc... so far.

Bottom line is, anybody that thinks that there isn't any racism in this city (or any other city as well) coming from every different race towards every different race is simply being ignorant.

Frank - misunderstanding something isn't a crime. It's OK to admit it.

You go sit in the corner with Frank. You too, have missed the boat on this. See where I said his guess was uneducated and then you might understand.

I wasn't bragging about where I lived. Frank guessed at something and he was wrong. I showed him why he was wrong. Nothing wrong with using facts vs. bad guesses- imo.

Frank- I'm sure the city will miss you.

So, where to live and whats going on in Greys Ferry?

Let's get back to the question...

Not at all what I was talking about. Yeah we know that you lived in Harlem, Compton, and etc..., but how does that specifically prove that you know more about the city than he does, especially since he has yet to state what exact parts of the city that he's been to?

Back to the original question, I personally feel that S Philly is very diverse. If you want even more diversity than that, why not check some of the upcoming areas in N Phila near Temple? Or maybe off girard by the art museum area?

Well I would want to live near Temple but I'm not a college student. I don't really plan on going to college and if I do it would be online. I have a hard time making friends my age and I tend to get along with people 25-40 years old.People my age are into partying and crap. I just wanna work and hang out with a couple of friends and go on dates. I wanna kind of skip the crazy partying years. I'm black and all of you are kind of insane. Racism goes both ways. People have problem with me. My aunt who is half white tells me I'm bosie all the time just because I don't want to struggle like her and prefer to live in South Philly and have friends of ALL races.

I work at 6th and Morris. I am Head-Start and special needs teacher.

I see every color under the rainbow there. White, black, asian....you name it. I have had no problems at all. I really like the area...nice mix of people.

For the record: I am a white, 44 year old female.

South street is nearby which there is lots and lots to do.

I wish you luck...Enjoy!

Shanny
