You won't find many blacks who willingly choose to buy a cheap house in a marginal neighborhood if they can afford not to.

A lot of what you see as racism is really risk management.
thanx 4 answering the question. anyone else can add to this.

your making this out to be a test of some sort for your own entertainment.

one thing i forgot to mention, i am a 28 yr old white male, and the neighborhood i live in is a predominantly black neighborhood, temple terrace. i know there is crime that happens around here, i have made friends with all my neighbors, people are people, whats the race attraction of this thread? seems like you have the problem here.

The only ones that can answer the question are those that ignore "black" neighborhoods.

I am curious as to the husbands answer as to why he does not want to live there.

Sorry that your confused. This is not a wind up, so don't assume that I want to be entertained. This is a serious. Express your views on the topic discussed.

So if you are poor you are most likely to become a criminal. What about white collar crime?

White collar crime does not involve people getting their heads blown up in gang warfare.
