Like it or not, that's the way it is. Whites in Detroit don't choose to be segregated, it's just that if they have money then why live in the projects? Same goes for anyone of any color.

I really wasn't going to do this but since everyone wants to jump down Neicy's throat for every little word she says, I have to get some things straight about this comment that was made. PM_Mama you live in Detroit? Or do you live in the suburbs that surround Detroit? I'm sorry but the city of Detroit is less than 10 percent white (probably less than 5 percent white) And YES whites did choose to segregate themselves from the black people. If you look at the history of Detroit, as soon as black people started to move in the neighborhoods, the white people moved out. And if you are saying that the black neighborhoods are the projects, then I guess Detroit is one big project, because white people tried to get as far away from black people as possible.
I'm sorry to get off of the subject, but from the looks of it NO ONE is staying on the subject at all on this thread which is really getting on my nerves. For the record I just want to say that I agree that Alabama is ONE of the racist states in America. Neicy didn't say it was THE RACIST, she just said it was one of them. My mother's family was born and raised in Alabama and one of the reasons why they left to come to Detroit was because of the racism. Even though Alabama has improved since then, whenever my family goes and visit, they encounter more racism in one week than I had to endure my entire life. But anyway....
CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD!!
