Also, whites (not all) are our enemy, they want the same, as most of us. Just working to keep a roof over their heads, feed their kids, and retire! |

I have had as many white folks support me as I have had black folks. When someone with common sense sees another person with common sense, allies are quickly & easily formed. In such matters, color & gender become irrelevant. It becomes a matter of let's work together and win. |

My neighborhood is majority white so I guess you can consider it a white neighborhood. My fellow blacks who live there, along with my Asian, latin, and indian neighbors don't consider it a white neighborhood, nor have I ever called it a white neighborhood on this forum. To answer your question it doesn't matter that my neighborhood is white. I found a house I liked in a good school district with low crime. It happened to be in a neighborhood that was majority white. Whiteness had no bearing on my choice to buy a house and live there |

Sam, One of the main reasons most don't even try, is because of the confusion regarding the word 'success'. Success, to most, is viewed as being rich? owning a large home? nice car? vs feeding your family, paying off a mortage, clothing your children, graduating college, etc.. I own, repeat OWN, a nice home, as a result of hard work. I wanted to be the example for my future generations, not some actor, rapper, or ghetto millionaire. |

At my core, success for me is being able to provide for my family. My family knows that so long as I am around, I will take care of everything. Being a reliable, dependable provider & protector are core concepts for me. |

I remember you stating that you live in a white neighborhood, that's why I mentioned it. Nevertheless, we agree. Seek a neighborhood that reflects what you need/want. Safety (low crime) was one of our prime reasons for moving to our area. |

I've never stated I lived in a white neighborhood. I've stated that I live in a mixed neighborhood or I've stated that I don't live in the hood. Never have I referred to my neighborhood as white. Your memory is a little off, no offense |

I hope that your future generations will follow your lead. Sometimes it's a good example to see it in action first hand, vs only hearing about it. Watching my older brother graduate in the face of every day, being called 'nigger', seeing two of my aunts forgo marriage for college, mother going back to school (at 50) to get her degree, were the best examples for me! So far, my two daughters, are making me proud, and easing my anxiety level,

No offense taken Kenny. Your response was not mean, simply a response. |
