Most Caucasians in the U.S. prefer segregation. Are you calling all of them skinheads and people with no credibility?

Lori, why participate in a thread you feel is stupid? Why bump it up? There are least 15 to 20 other threads you can comment on, but you just happened to fall into the one you feel is stupid. Stop being a control freak. You can not control everyone's opinion and the direction of this forum. I don't mean to come across as offensive, but I am giving you something to really think about.

I love how you keep using the word "most" without a SHRED of evidence to back up your lofty claims. Real credible there...

Here you go, I think you got lost, go home.

Well if most Caucasians do not prefer segregation, why are most of them living in areas that have a lesser amount of Blacks.

Since you know it all, which I already know you don't, prove to me that most of them prefer integration.

Your smart *** remarks show your age. Minor!

I'd say the lack of true integration nation-wide, as well as the "White Flight" phenomenon, is evidence enough.

Well, NYC's crime rate is lower than Chi despite being a much bigger city. I would certainly prefer to have the lower crime rate, wouldn't you? And what's wrong with mixed neighborhoods?

Stop and Frisk; a police force that's better-funded and managed? Just a thought.

Never said anything was wrong with mixed neighborhoods.

Interesting you would say that. You must not have seen this article that just came out regarding New York City:Sign of things to come? Integration without blacks in New York City neighborhoods | Pew Research Center

Integration in America cannot exist without blacks. Sorry.

I agree, of course, but there's a common perception that NYC has a higher integration of blacks, and really that doesn't seem to be the case. 14.9% of NYC neighborhoods are integrated with blacks. That's not a high number at all.
