RE: Let’s try this. Suppose you’re walking alone at night and your hear a bunch of footsteps. When you turn around, would you be relieved if they were white... YES or NO?
Actually for me, I’d be on my guard EVEN if the group of teens were white. There really is not telling...
However if the question were modified to — would you be relieved if you knew that group came out of a church Bible study as opposed to a night club, I would say ‘yes’.

Fair enough. If we could go back to post #110 which seems to have ruffled some feathers.
My reason for asking about the 'footsteps' (as well as public schools and neighborhoods) is that it supports my answer in post #110, which was in response to your original question.
No one here is going to send their kids to a public school in Camden NJ, or settle their family in a neighborhood in Detroit, or walk alone in East St. Louis. It is not over the top, IMO, to point out the elephant in the room, i.e. the demographics.
