[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP is still hanging around, I'll point out that I got a similar "THAT'S RACIST" response when asking about an inclusive, welcoming, swim club this summer.

Ignore them.  You and I both know that having our kids be the "onlies" is only something minorities (or those raising minority kids) are expected to put up with.  We're supposed to be so grateful that folks let us into their communities that we ignore the weirdness, the hair touching, and the shock when our kids speak standard English or get into the gifted program on their own merit.

I'd look at close-in Silver Spring and Takoma Park in MoCo.  We know lots of middle class AA families as well as interracial families and families with trans-racial and trans-national adoptees in those neighborhoods.

Meanwhile these are the same people who meticulously analyze school lunch and rankings to make sure there is an a maximum level of brown kids, all under the guise of 'best schools for little Johnny and avoiding children w/behavioral problems which will hinder our little angel's chances of going to Harvard' and who talk about 'well so and so area isn't diverse, it's just full of black people when I get off the metro.' :roll:  :roll:

Anyway--OP I know middle class black people who live in Hyattsville, College Park, Greenbelt, Silver Spring, University Park, Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Bowie, Laurel, all over DC [less in upper upper Northwest] and some parts of VA. I have lived in DC, MD, and Virginia.[/quote]
