Girlfriend wants to live around Blacks, I want to live around Whites..What to do?

[QuintessentialBM]

This thread should be about living in a low income area vs high income area. Blacks and Whites/Others can live in either area. Living in a high income area doesn't eliminate 100% of the dangers that occur in low income areas, however, you and your family would be less susceptible to those dangers. Living in HIA's isn't the golden ticket to upward mobility, but it's a good start. People from LIA's can make it as well if they maintain their focus and not get caught up in the traps that are associated with living in LIA's. A lot of what I'm saying should be common sense, but I'll state what I'm going to say anyways..... If you don't have to live in a LIA, then by all means, don't do it. If not for yourself, then for your children because children are impressionable. After a certain age, it's hard to change the negative social programming that can occur, and if they get behind in their education, then it's over.

I represent the average American that came from a middle class home... My dad worked, my mom was a housewife and my sister and I went to public schools. My neighborhood was a mixture of everything(retirees, working middle class and low income families). We(the neighborhood and city I grew up in) had decent schools and was provided the resources to make something of ourselves. The results were a mixed bag, but typical of what is going on in Black America.

i can be honest breh. I never heard of an all black well mannered respectful neighborhood?

U got a link to any area like this?

All i know is....

The Hood (total fukkery and stop snitchin mentality)

Middle (mixed with all races and some issues)

Cacville (almost zero threat of violence but atleast they respect u as a neihhbor for the most part)

the only areas I know of are in Maryland..some real beautiful spots but its crazy money to live in Maryland /DC (the nice areas)

I mean id want to live somewhere where if one of the neighbor kids break our porch item, i could go talk to their parent and have it resolved calmly. Not with this ratchet family. It'd probably turn into WorldStar

Great point. But don't alienate your people. Living around too many white people is hell.

My girl from the hood (but doesnt act hood) but doesnt believe its so bad

Im from a good mixed street with respectful neighbors

Where would you move to raise a kid?

Currently, we live on a decent street in the hood with annoying lil black bebe kids wanding around bored doin little mischiveous (sp) shyt to our property like hoppin her fence breaking one of our porch items in the process and we fed up with it

(cant wait till school starts)

Especially with The Fact that you're Raising a Kid.... MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THE HOOD! You have Bigger Priorities than remaining in a Self Destructive Environment like that. Your Seed deserves better and your Girl may need to do some Growing Up. It's NEVER Ok to subject to Living Conditions as such when you have the opportunity to make it better, to be better. Move On and don't look back.

Living around white people is soooo safe........ nikkas get taken for burglars and shot for entering their own homes. And getting pulled over at night is some scary shyt.....that dude who got shot in the back reaching for his insurance....that could be you in tomorrows news.

Sorry breh, id rather get a strange look by a conservative white noisy neighbor than to end up on worldstar getting my face beat in by some high tempered low life over a porch item that his b*stard kids broke

There aren't just Black "bad" neighborhoods and White neighborhoods (which you seem to imply are all good).The last city I lived in was a very nice suburb with a high Black population..Black mayor when I lived there. There are also nice integrated neighborhoods, where you'll find plenty of Black people. You need not be isolated from Black people to live in a safe, active community. Depends on where you live, what your different options are.

Did I mention a strange look? Your downplaying the dangers of being black in nice white neighborhoods. Not all blacks are rachet. And worldstar aint black America. Go to strom front with that crap

Alot of people thinking im on some Uncle Ruckus shyt

I got a house in the best school area for my kids.....it just so happen to be in a real nice area. Nothing but old ass people on my block, I'm blessed tho.

 

[CuzTheyKnowMe]

Why hasn't anyone suggested moving around asians?

 

[smARTmouf]

Move around Indians...All they do is walk around with their entire family tree and keep to themself...

What area are you from? @Dog Based Gremlin

I'm with Dog Based, once you have kids it's an entirely different ballgame, I'm lucky to be from Jersey in the sense that there are some affluent and diverse cities in my area. I currently live in Maplewood (not far from where Lauryn Hill went to school) which is a high income area, but is still very diverse. I chose their because its within 10 mins of my old neighbor hood where I have family there still but it's isolated enough where the fukkery doesn't hit my doorstep. But if I had to choose between a white neighborhood and the hood the choice is a no brainer and just because one's kids are surrounded by white people doesn't mean that the kids are going to want to be white, thats more about how you raise them if you teach them knowledge of self, just like I was taught.
