It does not feel that way to me. I am a white person but observe with concern that races still live Very seperately especially here in the south. If you are black, do you feel intergrated? Do your kids? Are we choosing to, for the most part, to live seperately? We have very distinct neighborhoods stores etc.? What has the MONTH accomplished? I gave a CHILD (without seeing color) a dollar to cover his bill at checkout. I heard him outside exclaiming to someone how that WHITE lady helped him and smiled. "She aint even looked bad at me. She say no problem and just give it to me." I am ashamed that these kids are treated poorly by "my people." I am now compelled to write a piece on this subject, I look forward to YOUR comments. Thank You.

Before you write "a piece," you should know that the word is "integrated."

We have come a long way...but still have a longer way to go. As a senior African American I still agree with Richard Prior when he said that justice to white America means "Just us".
Of course this does not mean that all Caucasians are bigoted or racist or against integration and equality. All one has to do though is look at the Katrina situation to realize how bad things really are and how far behind we still are.

We're better than we were and not as good as we could be.
Some of it is fear on both sides.
With every cloud there's a silver lining....maybe with all the different nationalities in America now we will be forced to integrate more. I read an article in the local paper about one workplace that had 6 different countries represented.

i've noticed progress in the last 20 years, albeit slowly. i live in the south and i think our biggest problem is we don't educate our kids well enough. the poor grammar that child used is the norm no matter what race they are. where i live there is a high percentage of high school dropouts and drug users. i've traveled all over the u.s. and nowhere else in the country are people as ignorant on average as they are in the south.

We have integrated in small ways but you will always find ethnic neighborhoods around. same thing with racism. While not as prevalent as it once was it is still there and just as nasty as ever.
