[quote=Anonymous]This forum has been the best ever! I just moved to DC after living in Raleigh, NC for 8 yrs. Race is always a factor...always, but class can be a serious equalizer. Being black, I appreciated when people came right out with their truth. Some I met had never,EVER had a conversation with a educated black person. Low and behold when you actually talk with someone you find out skin color is just that, something that makes my outward appearance different than yours. Many were surprised at how much we had in common. My daughter attended a private school and eventually the request for play dates came up. I realized the true character of people when there was reciprocity. It's easy to invite the only black girl in your school to your house, much harder to go to the black girl's house. It was a eye opening experience as to how many people truly live in a all-white bubble. But honestly the segregation and bigoted attitudes in the Northeast and South don't differ much. Northeast folks like to say they are liberal, but let someone of color move into their neighborhood.....oh how quick they change. [/quote]
