The town I went to school at had very few blacks, the one my wife went to had a large number, they lived in what was called the south side(not a good neighborhood), she did have several friends from the area though.

I live in an integrated neighborhood and I love it. It is a fine balance though and not easy to maintain.
Glad we are mostly past this form of racism. Sometimes the only way past this is through it.
