[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a few black affluent neighborhoods existed throughout the country because AAs were not very welcome in white neighborhoods, and felt more comfortable with other affluent AAs. [b] However, because times are changing and whites are more comfortable living around black families of the same SES in 2015, I wonder whether AA affluent neighborhoods will start to become a thing of the past, for better or worse.

I live in a predominantly black middle/upper middle class neighborhood that is slowly changing over as young white/other families move in.  While I don't mind the diversity, I do hope it doesn't become completely white anytime soon--I like having people of all backgrounds here.[/quote]

Yes, they will. Just look at the "gay ghettos" like West Village and Chelsea in NYC, Dupont Circle in DC, or the Castro in SF - heterosexual people moved in 20-30 years later, driving up prices, and thus displacing the social community that centered on their minority status.[/quote]
