No, the OP wants to live in a community where there are no minorities because she can't stand the sight of them.

And if I said, hypothetically, "Yes, you are wrong", what bearing would that have on your feeling?

1) In asking if you are wrong for feeling as you do, you are asking for the "blessings" of strangers

2) Obviously you knew that your thread would be offensive otherwise why would you preface with the phrase "Am I wrong...?"

At its core, this thread is quite suspect in its agenda and was meant to be provocative yet not productive

Why does that even matter dude? Black people have great personalities and are among the best entertainers! Try being positive instead of self loathing if you even are Black. I could compare different groups all day long and find positive things and negative things about all of them.

You would never acknowledge that such a neighborhood exists, so I'm not going to argue the point with you any further.

And the parents of my majority black preschool class do not fit the above descriptor either.

I'm not conducting a social experiment with my child, the neighborhood school we've picked is a high performing, very diverse public school. Majority black. They do exist, sorry.

You're right, it is my choice, my opinion.
Whoa why is it everytime some one agrees with African- Americans they are either a racist, self- hating or simply wrong? Excuse me I know such places exist, I live in one. Guess what the schools are crap, PG County has the 2nd worst schools in the state of Maryland while being the most affluent majority Black county in the country.

So if it doesn't exist here why would I think it exists in Philly? Maybe we have different standards. Silly me I actually think Black students should be performing at or above the level of their non-Black peers especially above the level of non-English speaking immigrants. Simply sending them to a school where they don't have to walk through metal detectors is not good enough.

That is a stereo type for a reason. Single parenthood causes poverty and every problem related to poverty. That is fact.

Lol you can't build a society on entertainment. Entertainment is a diversion from reality.

Absolutely not, man.

No one wants to live in a neighborhood likely to have crime, when they can go to a neighborhood likely to be better.

You're right about it, no matter your color.
