Quote from gwb-trading:

I am at a loss to find an 'upscale black neighborhood' in Raleigh, Durham, or any other city in North Carolina.

There are a good number professional blacks who live in our neighborhood which is a mix of Research Triangle Park professionals of every racial background. We have people from India, China, etc. who all moved into the RTP area. Most are engineers, scientists, etc. Let me say that some of my black neighbors are among the brightest people I have met. A couple of have PhDs. The typical image of 'ghetto' being applied to all blacks does not fit in my personal experience in our neighborhood. I find that 'upscale' blacks tend to live in integrated neighborhoods rather than segregating themselves.

I've got several black families in my neighborhood. One is a dentist. A husband and wife are both engineers, etc., One couple is retired. ALL are very nice people. No, I don't talk politics with them, but they seem pretty conservative to me. Most WORKED their way up, and didn't want to settle for "free" ice cream cones from the gubment when they could work, and buy their own gallons of ice cream.

Because, unlike you, I had a collegiate experience and got to see some places from beyond a hotel room.

Really? So now your argument is tha you, the third shift nurse from Peoria, have seen more of the world than Lucrum, the pilot? Is this another one of your delusions of grandeur?
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

I would that you are right about that. If we are looking for the black Beverly Hills, it is not there. But there are some neighborhood that are majority black with household income in the top 25% on average.

None that I have ever seen or heard of. At least not in New Jersey, Maryland or Florida (where I have lived in country for the last 6 years).

You mean like, affirmative action field trips?

Unlike the rest of us, lunatic, lying buckwheat probably got to go to college for free simply for being black.

This has been my experience, too. All very nice, very educated and conservative. But majority of the neighborhood? Never saw it.

Well, growing up in Atlanta, Cascade Heights was always my example. Professionals living in very nice house with manicured lawns, poodles, and all that.

And yes, most are FISCAL conservatives. Reagan Democrats when I came of age. But the GOP went hard to the right socially, and that is just unacceptable.

Judging by his response to this post, you're probably right. Hence his sense of entitlement.

Lucrum sees the world the way the military "sees" the world. They see it from base to base, he sees it from hotel room to hotel room. And then that is only if his owners want to go there.
