Having grown up "dirt" poor I'll be the first to say screw that. I don't live in major liberal asshole cities for a reason. And it's funny my black/brown/yellow neighbors have nice houses and nice cars and cute little kids that play outside.
And it has zero to do with forced government integration.

Sooo, I'm a kid from the great state of TEXAS, where I never paid attention to "white neighborhood/black neighborhood" whether real or perceived. What I do remember, is that you worked to afford a better place for your family. I now live in the communist state of Maryland (finally a Republican Governor), but my county is rife with inclusion. When I moved here 8 years ago, I could go to the Harris Teeter, and see the occasional "gansta", but I was proud of what I had accomplished after 19 years in the military.
Now I hear loud music, the contrivance is full of ghetto acting kids, and families are moving, including me. Why, because it doesn't matter that the area is full of hard working Americans with nice homes, lets put section 8 and apartments so everyone can have the same "lebensraum" for less than what we worked hard for. It wouldn't be so bad if they moved here with pride and took care of the community, but it is the exact opposite.
And by the way, I don't define myself by this, but I'm black (note I didn't say
African American, I fricken spend a lot of time on that continent...you can have it)
AMERICAN!!!
