I may be accuse of posting yet one more American thread which also happens to contain black issues, but hey I make no apology, because I just thought they would make good debating threads.

/// Fortunate residents of this the relatively prosperous southern section of a city that is otherwise blighted by poverty, violence and a failing public school system, they are demanding the right to break away from it and forge a whole new city of their own. Putatively named St George, ///

/// Were it to become a city it would be 70 per cent white. Baton Rouge now is 55 per cent black and 40 per cent white. ///

Bravo to them.

If it were down to me, there would be certain members of our 'community' that I would like to keep outside the garden gates.

Heh heh heh...
They want to call it St George? - now why....?

I don't see any problem with this. It's something that we all do either consciously or subconsciously. I will always book business flights when I'm travelling so that I don't have to sit any where near young children (noisy) and other certain demographics.

I choose to live in a nice part of London and I choose to associate with nice liberal-minded folk, rather than boorish knuckle-draggers.

There's nothing racist about what these people are doing. I'm sure if the CEO of a private bank, who happened to be black or Hispanic, were to buy a house there, they would receive no opposition.

Similarly, if a white trashy chav (or the American equivalent) were to try and 'get through the gates), they would meet with some resistance.

AOG - I am sure that you would be happy to have (say) Sir Trevor McDonald living next to you, than White Dee from Benefits Street, right?

It's not racism...it's common sense.
yeah good idea AOG
and of course the po' whites and trailer trash are on hand to wait on tables
You only live once. If the opportunity presents itself for improvement who would hesitate?

Bound to be opposition but unless there are legal issues I can't see a problem.
