Wow… I feel so sorry for Ms. Cynthia Lynch… you see a gang is a gang just like any other i.e. Bloods, Crips, Cholos, The Mafia… once you start the initiation process, if you want out… the answer is… NO.
…unfortunately Corporate America is being run by that same kind of gang mentality.
It’s called the good ol’ boy network.
Look what it has done to the US.
You bring Mexican in giving them jobs and promising them a better life… then when you’re done with them… you throw them away… and herd them straight into the Black Communities.
How do you think we feel… but at least we don’t put on hoods… and try to kill them all off…
…we just look at white society, shake our heads, and wonder again… what the hell do you white folks really think you are doing.
CAUTION… because of the Internet, now the whole world is looking at you, and they ALL (just like us) question your integrity… history shows that you do not have any.
Remember… you are just 10% of the Planet Earth… what you do comes back to you… 10 fold.

ClarkR ~ I am of mixed heritage myself but your last few sentences are nothing but veiled threats. Because of the internet, you are on display as well.
I am sorry you carry the anger of everything that has ever been done to your race. And I’m sorry you apparently hate blacks. (I say this because you don’t want to live in a black neighbourhood.) Perhaps putting some of your energy into positive actions for your community might help you with your anger.

Ghetto’s are the same all over the word… look at China Town, Korea Town, Little Vietnam, Little Italy… Some German Towns and Communities… the list goes on FOREVER.
Most are not even aware of what has happened to them… and that is… CULTURE SHOCK!
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, disorientation, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown culture such as one may encounter in a foreign country. It grows out of the difficulties in assimilating the new culture, causing difficulty in knowing what is appropriate and what is not. This is often combined with a dislike for or even disgust (moral or aesthetical) with certain aspects of the new or different culture.
There are three basic outcomes of the Adjustment Phase:
1) Some people find it impossible to accept the foreign culture and integrate. They isolate themselves from the host country’s environment, which they come to perceive as hostile, withdraw into a ghetto and see return to their own culture as the only way out. These Rejectors also have the greatest problems re-integrating back home after return. Approximately 60% of expatriates behave in this way.
2) Some people integrate fully and take on all parts of the host culture while losing their original identity. They normally remain in the host country forever. Approximately 10% of expatriates belong to this group of Adopters.
3) Some people manage to adapt the aspects of the host culture they see as positive, while keeping some of their own and creating their unique blend. They have no major problems returning home or relocating elsewhere. Approximately 30% of expatriates are these so-called Cosmopolitans.
The process of cultural adjustment, which is also known as the U-shaped curve of cultural adjustment, encompasses five distinct stages:
Stage 1: The feeling of excitement and eagerness. This stage occurs before leaving to go to the new culture.
Stage 2: The feeling that everything in the new culture is great. This stage occurs upon arrival to the new culture.
Stage 3: The feeling of everything in the new culture is terrible.
Stage 4: The feeling of adjustment. The stage where the visitor begins to feel comfortable and takes steps to become more familiar with the culture.
Stage 5: The feeling that everything is fine. The stage where the visitor has adapted to the culture and in some ways is embracing it as their own.
Culture shock is a state of dis-ease, just like a disease. It has many different effects, time spans, and degrees of severity. Many people are handicapped by its presence and don’t recognize what is bothering them. Culture shock symptoms are really hard to seclude.
Culture shock is a subcategory of a more universal construct called transition shock. Transition shock is a state of loss and disorientation predicated by a change in one’s familiar environment which requires adjustment. There are many symptoms of transition shock, some which include:
* excessive concern over cleanliness and health
* feelings of helplessness and withdrawal
* irritability
* glazed stare
* desire for home and old friends
* physiological stress reactions
* homesickness
* boredom
* withdrawal
* getting “stuck” on one thing
* excessive sleep
* compulsive eating/drinking/weight gain
* stereotyping host nationals
* hostility towards host nationals
There are no fixed symptoms ascribed to culture shock as each person is affected differently.
Ghetto;
Originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live, a ghetto is now described as a: “portion of a city in which members of a minority group live; especially because of… Social, Legal, or Economic pressure.”

So… yes… exclusively white (i.e. German, Irish, etc.) communities are in fact just as much “ghetto’s” as well.
A ghetto is a ghetto.
I just happen to like living in areas where there are all kinds of people… it takes away stereotypes and releaves the social pressure to CONFORM… you begin to see people as PEOPLE.
You actually START TO NOTICE that they’re “just like you”… just as sure about some things, and just as unsure about other things… ‘just like you’.
And as an added bonus… there’s no pressure to conform “to any one group!”
