Ummm...I am from the Midwest. PLEASE. THE SEGREGATION OF RACES EXIST ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This is not exclusive to Jackson nor the South. I get sick and tired of reading this complaint as if this only happens in the South. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. THAT IS HIGHLY SEGREGATED AND VERY RACIST. I DON'T CARE WHAT "LIBERAL" OR "PROGRESSIVE" AIRS IT PUTS ON. Anywhere you go in the USA, you are going to know where the poor blacks live, where the poor whites live, where the rich whites lives and so on. Furthermore, who cares if an area is integrated or segregated, what is important is that the area is AFFLUENT, SAFE, WELL MAINTAINED. WHAT DOES LIVING WITH SOMEONE OF ANOTHER RACE OR BEING AROUND PEOPLE OF ANOTHER RACE HAS TO DO WITH MAKING SURE YOU ARE SAFE, IN A CLEAN AREA, IT HAS THE AMENITIES THAT YOU NEED, NICE HOMES, NICE OUTSIDE AREAS--IT DOESN'T. The only reason Black people are concerned with integration because they want what white people have and figure integration would provide them with the lifestyle and material assets and wealth that white people have. Integration is a mechanism, not the end goal. What is more important here? A quality lifestyle with the resources that you need or living next to someone who is different from you? Priorities?
