Do you want to live in a majority black neighborhood? Posted on 08-22-2005

When you get "established", mainly speaking of when you get married, have kids, and are done with school, where would you prefer to live? Do you want to live in a majority black neighborhood, something mixed, or would you want to live where it's barely any blacks? Be real and speak your mind.

I would love to live in a progressive predominantly black community. The problem a lot of neighborhoods that start out being the place upwardly mobile blacks go is that once the ones that are about something move in, here come the vagrants. And most black people won't call the police and say get this person out of my neighborhood the way a white person would in the same instance.

All this for $500,000 -1mil.... You couldn't get a mansion with that out this way. Maybe a two-bedroom condo. I want to live in a VERY diverse neighborhood, where whites are the minority. I love neighborhoods where the signs outside of stores have all kinds of languages on them.

Cosign I want my kids to know about other cultures and feel comfortable around every kind of people. I believe they will be more successful in life if they know about other cultures and religions rather than just glorify one.

living in the metro Atlanta area is relatively cheap...but yea...they're about $500k-$1mil and they are HUGE...tennis courts, golf courses and everything...the one my parents toured had a theatre and all marble flooring...I was like "damn, is this a hotel or what?" that's a problem if you can only get a 2 bedroom condo for that much...

If I have kids I would prefer they live in a neighborhood with diversity just so they could get more exposed to people other than their own.
