This post is so misinformed, generalizing and idiotic that I shouldn't even comment. But I guess I will anyway.......I take it you have become an expert on black people and can make blanket statements about their lives? What in the hell is ghetto-speak?

Also, up until a few decades ago, most urban residential areas were rundown and ghetto-like. Then developers came in and fixed up those cheap blighted areas and turned them into expensive townhouses.
That is also absolute bullcrap. There have always been tidy middle class black (and other) neighborhoods in urban areas, and there always will be. Don't be fooled by your limited experience, nor by your obvious ignorance of the same.

Personally, I have lived just outside of the Boston area for most of my life and the majority of black people that I have encountered talk ghetto slang ebonics and say things like "axe" instead of "ask" and they live in the poorer sections of Boston like Roxbury... and they seem very happy where they live and are not interested in moving to other areas.
Well,and I am sure your pristine white neighborhood would be very welcoming of them if they were interested, hmmm??????

What see a lot of in my area are white and Asian geeks. I saw a dot Indian wearing hospital scrubs today at lunch.
So your limited exposure projects to the rest of us, especially those of us who have lived and experienced it firsthand?

I see that most of the time you are on the outside looking in to most of what you talk about on this forum. And what you see on TV is pre-determined and purposely aired. There's a lot more going on out there than what you see on the screen.

Get ya mind right, girl.

Actually, TV blacks are much better than what I have ever experienced in person. Shows like Law and Order, Homicide, Without a Trace, the CSI series, Cosby, House, ER all show blacks and other minorities in a very favorable light imo. BTW which TV shows do you object to in terms of how they portray blacks?

As to limited exposure, well that's just your opinion, but I have traveled through much of the US by car. All down the East Coast, lots of business trips to Atlanta. And I've driven through Alabama and Mississipi on my way to Texas. I've been through Tennessee and Arkansas a few times. My family lives in Berkeley, California and I've made it there by car. As to middle class black neighborhoods, I guess I've missed the ones in the Boston area. And my city welcomes anybody of any race that can afford to live here, so middle class blacks would do fine here. So would the Obamas (as I've stated before in other threads). Who wouldn't want neighbors that are happily married, that have successful careers, educated at good universities like Columbia, Yale and Harvard Law School, well spoken and with well behaved children?

I 've always thought Asian women are attractive. The "one that I still dream about" (I was too young) was a Filipina I met while deployed to Clark Air Base, P.I. We were never more than friends (I dated her friend, also an attractive and fun-to-be-with gal) but she had an unusual build for a Filipina; 5'11"; almost Amazon-like. I always wondered about her heritage. Anyway, she was a really nice friendship along the way...

You drove through neighborhoods in cars- so that makes you a guru?

And again, there are a lot of non-black neighborhoods where people aren't married and don't have a college education, so your overall point is invalid.
BTW those factors don't define success.

I suppose so. Most of us only see her on TV or mags. where makeup and airbrushing works wonders.
