So in other words, what you're saying is you would have more in common (and probably bid) a black man who was raised in your town and whose parents were of the same social strata as yours before you'd bid some white guy from Pittsburgh.

I understand that - I think what people get upset about is what seems to be an assumption that there aren't any situations like that.

Yeah because he just tried to justify why this is still an extremely racially segregated society.

MEANING, blacks and whites from similar socioeconomic backgrounds remain segregated from one another versus being more integrated based on social class and similar experiences. And that's the reality.

I swear, I was trying to just bring back the "rush mistakes" but the uninformed posts keepacoming. There aren't FUNDAMENTAL differences across races.
