[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved your report and appreciate that you said it felt safe. I don't know why other posters gave you a hard time. These trip reports are helpful and I appreciate a mother's perspective. I read the guide books but I guess you never know until you see it for yourself. I like the details from the these trip reports. Some of the guide books say places like USC and UChicago are not in the best neighborhoods. While students need to be careful on all college campuses rural and urban, it is nice to hear when parents like the area directly near the college.[/quote]

Thank you. There is a select subset of this forum that thinks everything is about race. You have to just ignore them. For the rest of us, we simply want to ensure our kids are happy and safe. They are correct, however about my lack of knowledge re: geography :)

[/quote]NP here.  My jaw dropped when I read others think everything is about race BUT you and the rest want YOUR children safe.  You think the others don't want THEIR college kids safe too?  What a mean thought from you or maybe just oblivious.

Not to worry.  I am totally and unequivocally done with you and yours.  Nice going, PP.

What is your problem? The OP posted a nice trip report and described how she liked the area around the college and about 5 posters were all over her as if she had done something wrong. Who said anything about "others don't want their children safe." Why do people ruin these threads. [/quote]

I'm OP and thank you. Because they like to stir trouble through race-baiting. They equate the word 'safe' with race, as if it's a code word. It's not. [b]But it's what the sheep are being told to think now, so who can really blame them?[/b][/quote]You just don't know when to stop, do you?  All kids should be safe and that does include those non-whites who are leery about venturing into certain areas especially after dark.  Safety isn't reserved for one group of people, whether you think they're sheep or not.[/quote]

You care clearly making things up. Knock the chip off your shoulder. What I'm referring to is the fact that some people are simply going to see racist undertones in everything and I regard those people as not being able to think for themselves. It's sad.

it has nothing to do with race at all. You are making it into that. Where the hell do you get off thinking that we don't think all kids should be safe?  No one EVER said that.
