This is an invalid argument. And I might add that since we all descend from Adam and Noah, we're all one big race anyway and all inter-related, so we're all distant cousins.

Don't be politically correct and assume that any discussion of race is racist. I think it's an elephant in the room that everyone is afraid to talk about for fear of being negatively branded by the PC crowd.

Although my post was extremely concise, you still managed to miss the point. To think about or discuss things in terms of race is racist, by definition. I don't know why you are so willingly propagating the PC crowd's mantra that thinking about race is evil.

Also, we aren't one big race. We're one big species with some huge differences between the various races.

What are you talking about? Please show us this so-called definition.

But those are differences that we can move past. The genetic make up of a white man is amazingly similar to that of a black man.

Apparently we are having morality issues and racial tensions within a thread about a racial makeup of a neighborhood... People are way too sensitive.

I have a friend who is white and who lives in Pine Hills. I'm not sure what zip code, but he's got a really nice house, lots of land, and is happy with where he is. He's never had a problem. Crime in Orlando seems to be very localized. There can be plenty of crime happening in one area, yet if you live a mile away, you could be quite safe. Just like the avalon park/waterford lakes area and ucf. Plenty of crime in the apartment communities around UCF, yet avalon park is pretty quiet and residential.

I probably wouldn't move to Pine Hills personally, because I would have no idea how to pick a safe area, but there are people who do live there and haven't had problems. In my life, I've lived in all sorts of neighborhoods, ranging from poor to upper middle class. I've found that most people tend to just want to live and let live.

And for the record, when I watch the news at night, I see all races of people committing crimes - murders of children and adults, petty thefts and larceny, home invasions, embezzlment of millions of dollars. Being a criminal isn't about the color of your skin, it is about what is in your heart.

Do the white residents get along with the non-whites and vice versa?
