Unfortunately, there are many narrow minded, intolerant, racist people in the south and everywhere else in the US. I do think that racism is a little more common in the south. I for one am a southerner and it makes me sick to hear nasty misconceptions about people just because they are a different race, different religion, or live a different lifestyle. I wish more people had a "live and let live" attitude. We'd all be better off.

1. Racisim is still the no. 1 answer... who votes the most... the elderly.. who was rasied when it was ok to be racist... the elderly... not that all elderly people are racist, but I think it would influence many of their votes.. and of course you have the South.\n2. Education, or lack there of. Through the years education in "black areas" has been sub-standard when compared to the same education in "white areas." Things have been done to work on the problem, but according to test scores, there is still much work to be done, both in family attitudes about the value of education and in improving the schools themself.\n3. Population, there are just fewer black people than white people. Black people make up around 15 percent of the population, if I remember correctly. So fewer people equals fewer chances to be the one person chosen to be in control.

So, Grambling State is out of the question, huh....  Well, I don't know about the historically chartered schools (e.g. Fisk), but I believe that in Mississippi, Alabama, and maybe even Florida and Texas, the A&M schools are proportionately higher in black student population than are other schools (and were initially charted to serve black/former slave populations and their descendents), so you might check to see if that's true (I'm not 100% on this) and see which of these have real estate programs.\n\nGood luck!

Personally I think about 1/2 of the U.S.'s population IS racist and about 1/2 or more of them are black.  I am white and i am not racist until i see someone talk about how good whites have it.  ITS NOT THAT GOOD BEING WHITE THESE DAYS.

Arizona is turning into the new Florida.  It's a retirement mecca now.  Most elderly folks you see are Bachelors and Bachelorettes who were divorced, widowed, or never were married.  I guess they pick Arizona because it makes them feel more comfortable to be single in a warm dry place.\nIn the next several years, I'm sure lots of people single & married will flock to Arizona to retire because Florida seems to be getting crowded with the youth(including myself).

Being originally from Illinois and just having moved to Arizona I would say more then likely yes! The state of Illinois laws are stupid! Did you know it is actually illegal to dance in the streets of Peoria after midnight! This is an actual law! Illinois sucks move as soon as you can! As for it actually being illegal I don't know I think you should check with the post office and your local police department.

Arizona is a wonderful state that a lot of Americans go to during the winter.  Travel there in the summer and visit many great attractions such as the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Painted Dessert.  Keep away visitors and the economy of AZ would have a lot of problems.  Terrorism is just that to terrorize people so that they do not act as normal.  An attack against the Southwest of any sort would have an impact of people coming to your state.  That is they're intention to control what we do by instilling fear in our people.  I know that to some people an attack there would make no sense, but to me it makes as much sense as anything else.  The terrorist threat is supposed to be that scare the people and keeping people from doing everyday things is the way to go about it, much could be destroyed that we could never get back and that would probably be more devastating than 9/11.

1)Yes, we still live in a racist country.  I am a 46 year old Black woman who has experienced quite a bit of racism bcos of the color of my skin (caramel) without any knowledge of who I really am.  I have traveled quite a bit within the states as well as other countries & honestly cannot see much of a difference.  Point in case...I've even traveled to Africa & have been faced with questions like "what are you?".  I think that I offended the one asking the question bcos I said "I'm an American".  They responded "do you mean African-American?" to which I responded "sure if thats how you would like to phrase it".  2) Yes my parents had a hard time but they "dealt with it" by being active in the civil rights movement.  My great-grandmother would never let me work in the fields when I visited saying " no way, your Mom & Grandmama would have a fit & besides those days are over for your generation".  She was right, however there are others here who seem to forget that.  With regards to "us guys" still living in this country...this is our country & we'll fight for the right to live here....in peace.

First of all AA is a particular diaspora and does not apply to all Black people. To answer your question in some cases the minute Black people or any other non WASP group move into a neighborhood no one wants to invest in it. Without resources a neighborhood won't thrive.  I'v seen this happen.  Everyone left and took everything with them. Only thing that was left was an auto parts dealer and Walmart, no one can live on those wages.  They left because of Racism plain and simple. I also think it is a mind thing, the minute a black child leaves the womb thier stamped with Deprived or Inner city or Ghetto or Crime.  It doesn't go away you have to make it go away, If those things were true I wouldn't be working on my 2nd Master's right now. Also there is this stigma that comes with black neighborhoods. That is, that their must be more crime there. So you will have, White males cruzing the streets harrasing women and young girls and trying to by drugs. Like I said before Black neighborhoods lack resources if their were more places to go for help instead of the police station we would be better off. \n\nMy Boss (who is white)asked if it is a good idea to start hiring students at the nearby high school.  The school is mostly Black.  She was concerned that she might have trouble with these kids.  I took offense to this and we began to talk. She asked me why don't we all stick together instead of killing each, why is there so much crime and black women on Welfare. I kindly told her that we are not the ones on Welfare, her people are, and White people kill each other all the time I don't hear the term White on White crime. I also told her that if she paid people decent wages and start some college and mentoring program that might help. She didn't like that answer and she stated a scholorship at a surburban prep school that was mostly white.  I didn't understand, most of the people at my job (who are Black and my job is in a Black Neighborhood) didn't either, so we started a mentoring program.  This reasoning is part of the problem. She completely wrote off a group of people imagine 20 people thinking this way now imagine thoudsands, get my point.  She had it drilled into her her whole life by watching tv and reading the newspaper that Black people are lazy and don't want to work, steal and rape white women. That's part of the problem and that's why there is crime because no one wants to invest. So people sell drugs and their bodies so they can eat and feed their kids. They feel depressed because of their state, so they drink and do drugs. The media creates a demand to have Ipods and shiny jewerly and cars, so they rob and steal to make themselves feel apart of something.  They  go to jail and when they are released can't find a decent job so the are back to selling drugs and their bodies.  They start using drugs again which is observed by their kids so they learn early. Then the cycle starts over and over again.  Just think that, if someone invested in some of these neighborhoods, with better health service and decent paying jobs the cycle would stop.

I don't believe those numbers there be a lot more people than that. I think your way to pessimistic. You need to look on the bright side, you wont have to mow your lawn, they'll be a Mexican restaurant at every corner right next to the gas station owned by an Arab. You'll be  able to learn a foreign language, such as Spanish. And you know what when you grow old and if your fortunate enough to grow old you probably  be  taken care by a colored person.  You no that Hispanics will if not are already the majority in most states. If you want to get away from them i think you should definitely move to one of the southern states towards the east. What really is your point to stir up hate and animosity.\nI side with the president on this issue. I think he's doing a great job on this issue. :  )

people like that definitely exist.\n"White Flight" is very prevalent in Mass as well. As soon as white families saw a few negros moving into their town, they all ran for the hills.\n\nPeople like that will ask you stupid questions like "do you get shot at like everyday?"\n\n"Are you part of a gang?"\n\nand other annoying racist shit
