LOL, I remember when I bough my first home (inner city) my dad said he'd never come visit me there. To dangerous.

My neighbors, old Jewish couple, Mexican family, a family from France, a mixed marriage couple.... oh yeah and on the other side of town was a poor black area.

A lot of suburban folks are afraid of the mean cold city. I would add, if they don't know, maybe they should be.

My brother isn't "suburban", he's a backwoods redneck. I've never met anyone more afraid of black people in my life. Of course, HE doesn't think of it that way. But, that's what it is; Fear. I've observed the look on his face stuck in a crowd full of blacks. Fear, plain and simple. Like there's a Grizzly Bear snapping at his buttocks. I find it hilarious.
