Yeah, I think I am going to have to go back to usng the archives ans ignoring your threads. Annoying, since not everyone is as identifiable as you and it leads to confusion, but there it is. Since we are here however, let's stick to the point. I'm not talking about white racism. You may be and feel free, but this is not my point. My point is that there are neighborhoods that are not all that safe. This goes both ways, though if Duane were black I would not have any particular qualms about Over-the-Rhine. In that case, I would not be concerned unless he were headed to Howard Beach or some othr such enclave.

I have mentioned Howard Beach several times already. We're discussing why you would tell a > white person not to go in a black neighborhood. I didn't say don't go. I said consider asking someone local whether there are any dangers associated with neighborhoods you need to go to, because there have been problems in that city in the past. Totally different proposition. I spent part of my time in New Orleans recently in some pretty devastated neighborgoods, but see, I knew where I was when I went. http://picasaweb.google.com/dana.tierney/NewOrleans Those riots were six > years ago, when are you going to let it go. why do I need to let it go?

Apparently you didn't hear me say earlier in the thread that I spent years driving a cab in Washington D.C. ;) > Funny thing is I'm not even discussing this to piss you off.

Proving that a dangerous neighborhood isn't dangerous seems borderline stupid, in my opinion. > So there are no rascist whites? I didn't say that at all. I've met quite a few and so have you. I merely deny your silly proposition that there are no racist blacks. ::sigh:: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:240951 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
