Another way you can tell......

Hasn't responded or even made another post since that one.

If this was a black person coming in here and asking where the black areas were so they could stay with their kind you would be giving them a list a mile long...

And just what is a 21st Century mentality, doing a drive by?

No need to bring race into the discussion.

Im white by the way people need to stop caring about what everyone else is doing and worry about them self. And you can take that to the bank.
If you are white and want to live around whites you are a racist but if your are black and want to live around other blacks you are just a homeboy!!!!!

I'm black and I barely want to live around JUST blacks. Doesn't matter to me.

It's funny how minorities are always barked at for using the race card and playing the victim, then those same people who frown upon that turn right around and do the exact same thing.

Sean Hannity comes to mind....

(P.S...... homeboy? Seriously?)

The hell I would. They'd get the same treatment. I don't see race like the OP.

This Huffington Post article as evidence? Just because its city limits contain a majority of minorities doesnt make a city more diverse. Most of its minorities are living in neighbourhoods that are mostly composed of the race similar to their own race. It's not comparable to NYC.

Im not sure what your point is exactly, but he is right. DFW and Houston are highly diverse and integrated areas. That doesnt mean that there arent 90% one race areas in both areas, but overall I would stand by that.

Research was conducted by Rice University, is that an issue for you too? The point of the research is Houston and Dallas are both more integrated than the city you mentioned. It is both diverse and integrated is the point and result of the research. I can provide the longer link to the research it self if you are going to read it rather than just state your opinion again.

Where is your evidence or do you rest on your lack there of....!
