How do you feel about upper middle class to upper class AfAms starting their own communities in efforts to escape the perils that so often are prominent in our communities? I am torn. I want to help rebuild "our" areas, but like I said before I want my kids to be safe. I want them to walk down the street and not pass drug dealers, I want them to play in parks that are not littered with syringes, etc...
What is our responsibility? In feeling a "responsibility" are we burdening ourselves with "group association" other groups do not experience? I am curious to the opinions of others...

I don't have a problem with people wanting to live in a safe neighborhood - shoot, I'm one of those people. lol
I believe we are not the only group that dabbles in "group associations". I live in a predominately white city and there are all white, class-based neighborhoods here. The only difference between "us"(blacks) and "them" (whites) is that we are made to feel guilty for wanting to live and raise our children in safe neighborhoods.
