Uhm.... the post you're responding to is 2 and a half years old, and the poster hasn't been back since.

BTW, keyboards can be had for cheap. You might want go get one with a caps lock key that works.

So in a nutshell, the children if we were to have any, may experience problems with identity on the African American side, and due to lack of diversity in the school system. My future husband and I, due to no direct contact with my race, some of the elderly citizens of small places, such as New London, and Clintonville, will not like that we are there--together--and scrutiny may exists. Some have only learned by what was passed down and choose to hang onto that resistant to change is what I have experienced here in the South...and it cuts both ways.

May I share the following:The choice to embrace love and commonalities is a choice, God has no respect of persons, why is it in such a country, whose anthem sings proudly, "the land of the free and the home of the Brave", are some people choosing to keep THEMSELVES in bondage, while seeking to alienate at the same time. Christ died for all, his blood is red, so is mine, yours, everyone. We are a beautiful array of colors, and this same array will be seen in Heaven as well...why is it so hard to repent, to forgive...to forgive. I know this is not a perfect country, or world, but selfishness and hatred and ignorance to the truth appears to the root of bigotry of any one color. Jesus said, as he has loved us to love one another, and went to the cross, sacrificing his life for ALL of us....then rose again on the third day with all power and all victory, he reigns for ever. So with all of that being said...why should any one be bound to chains of the past, legacies of hatred from the past to be passed down to their children, and their children's children, etc....when CHRIST HAS SET US FREE from all of that.

Peace, love and blessings to all of you!

And this is how we should be thinking.

As for how to think along the lines you are talking about, I am taking a cue from your username, Agape, and the meaning of agape. That would be part of the solution.

So no nice people with good values in Madison or Milwaukee???
You have Middleton, Madison, Waukesha, Mequon, Waukesha County all places that are highly rated as among the best places to raise a family. I can think of a bunch of great small towns between Milwaukee and Madison.

Lake Mills
Delafield
Oconomowoc
Verona
Cambridge
Fort Atkinson
Wales
Hartland
North Lake
Cedarburg
Port Washington

I had lived in this area for most of my life and found they are in fact very tight - knit. Then I moved to the southwest and experienced the same thing in reverse.. The Native Americans and 'others 'like to be tight- knit also... I guess it is not just the whites...I have found a few from every culture tolorant, but depends on the area and situation, I am sure if it gets down to it we all pretty much stick to our own kind because it is more comfortable...lol...take care!
