AND yes, there are racial and other biases in other parts of the country, as well. It is my opinion, and I have seen research to substantiate my opinion, that racial bias is still more prevalent in the south.

Ok, my belief is that assertion is based in your politics.

I also think it is absurd to act like white racism is a major problem in this country at this point in time.

White people in the south pack out stadiums and arenas and watch tv to watch black college athletes play ball.

Not true. As I said in an earlier post, I am a registered Independent and have voted for both Republican and Democractic candidates in the past. Can you say the same?

I'm not talking about party. Anybody that self describes as a progressive has an ideology. People who call themselves progressives generally see anybody who is not a 'progressive' as being a caveman bigot.

In their worldview, politics is basically a battle between bigots and non-bigots.

I saw you had a recent post on Birmingham suggesting that there is something racist about a nice suburb in Birmingham.

I see you won't answer my question. Very telling indeed. I get it now.

Here you go again, misquoting me. I said Mountain Brook was segregated, not diverse, which is a statement of fact.

It isn't segregated based on race. Lot of white people can't afford that area.

I didn't misquote you. I didn't quote you at all.

Every place is diverse because every human has unique DNA. We are all minorities of one. You are so focused on race and other group identity stuff.

It IS 97.2% white. If that isn't race segregation, I don't know what is..

It is based on class, not race. You want to make everything about race.

Obviosly lower income white people don't live in that area. But that fact doesn't fit your race based narrative.

THere is nothing that prevents a wealthy black person from buying a home in that area.

Anyway, this is too negative. Adios.

I'm not making it about race. That is a fact just like the fact that family income there is 164k.
