WHAT IS THE SENSE OF SEGRAGATION You have thinking that all blacks only want to be in accompany of other blacks....How narrow minded are you!!! In this business climate no one can survive on catering to only their own races or ethnicities....Wake up it's 2010...you need to before all......We're talking about culture today...Not the 1950's, 60's, 70's but TODAY!!!

Ok, like I said before you are either a recent transplant or someone who has lived in a secluded area outside of pittsburgh away from ordinary blacks. If you knew the history (and present day) of Pittsburgh b/c apparently you did not know that part of the hill district which was the most vibrant part of the black community was destroyed so that the Civic Area could be built and thus cutting blacks off from going into the downtown area (where they were not welcomed anyway). What does this have to do with anything? Well since this all happened in my lifetime how many of those very same racist attitudes still exist there?

Do we need to go into the disparities of income, education, jobs, unemeployment, health or just the general quality of life for the blacks in pittsburgh for you to overstand and quit defending such a racist city?

This is where I met my wife and I've been married nearly 22 years. Incredibly beautiful women, who are understated in their beauty. Equally beautiful on the inside too and of the eastern variety. Character, integrity, devotion, and depth. I think Pittsburgh is a great city for a black person who doesn't need a large black population to be happy or to define their self-worth.

IMO, if you want to confine your existence to the black community, move to Bham. If you want to expand your horizons, move to Pittsburgh.

Oh, I just want to add that b/c you are a transplant you will never overstand what the native blacks are going through. People from other places for some reason will get hired before the black natives except for menial positions.

Look at more tech progressive cities and see how much longer Broadcast Radio has to live....Like the Newspaper, Like the Music Industry and CD's, its a dying industry....You're just showing how far behind in times people in Bham and the South really are....Internet is the way of life now for all things MEDIA...

1 - I am Black

2 - I am from Pittsburgh - East Liberty to be exact

No more racist than the Deep South Honey! And speaking of racist....you seem to be doing pretty good for yourself....since according to you...All Blacks want to seclude themselves amongst other black....That's racist too...

Sorry I am I suppose to be cheated by society or something? am I suppose to feel oppressed and feel that every white person is racist and holds me back? I'm an Educated Black Woman and a graduate of Finance from Point Park College with a successful career in NYC...so tell me how has Pittsburgh cheated me? some of my best friends in college are White, Asian, and Cuban and we all went to Point Park....

Sorry that I dont look at every thing as black and white as you do

What are you talking about Pittsburgh is WIZ hometown he's from Hazlewood....If its not all that then why Rep in EVERY VIDEO...obviously he's proud of his hometown....I guess Pittsburgh doesnt scorn everyone the way it has you....and by the way are you here just to Bash the Burgh...or do you know anything remotely relevant about Birmingham and the South????

Absolutely not. I really wish people of all races would stop throwing the word "racist" around so much. Just because a Black person would prefer to live in a predominantly Black neighborhood does not mean that he/she doesn't like White people or he/she believes that Blacks are superior to Whites simply due to skin color.
