Yes I do which is why I can't help but to laugh at the clueless people that try to use it as an insult. Like a child holding her hands over her ears saying: "la la la la la! I can't hear you! I got filter on! La la la la la!" It makes me giggle every time. Since everyone involved is white we're discussing white racism. I know for a fact you can find whites areas that aren't safe for blacks because of their skin color. We're discussing why you would tell a white person not to go in a black neighborhood. Those riots were six years ago, when are you going to let it go. Do you think every black neighborhood is in danger of having a racial riot at any given moment so they should all be avoided? Funny thing is I'm not even discussing this to piss you off. I'm actually curious as to where the line is. I would always go to the bars or walk down the streets whenever a black person told me it was too dangerous for whites. But I did not to be a bad ass; I did it to prove to myself that it wasn't true, and I was always right. > However if a black friend was headed in that direction, I might give him a > heads up and suggest that he check check the idea out first with some locals > before strolling through the area.

Just don't expect me not to laugh ;) So there are no rascist whites? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
