When will communities in the United States stop being referenced as "white community" and

Doesn't this characterization promote segregation? I thought that a community was a communty. When did it become a black and white thing? Where is our sense of a national cohesion of Americans? Do blacks want to be considered as seperate from whites as having their own community, culture, identity? What does that do for or against the United States as a country? A lot of questions I know.

I suppose from a sociological perspective society needs descriptors. If you look at the work of Foucalt and postmodernism, whatever society calls something is what it is. Yes the term no doubt does promote separate identities but can also work in reverse (king, queen, president). Grouping people together is a way of dealing with a vast population (consider schools) BTW it is not only the USA that has this issue
Well I lived in a white community, then they put in public housing. Along with the housing came trash in the yard like cheetos, beer bottles, chocolate milk cartons, needles, spray painted fences, people standing in the middle of the street stopping passing cars, loud stereos in residential neighborhoods, kids throwing rocks and breaking out windows, police not doing crap. I moved wasn't worth the trouble. So, I did like all other I moved to where there were snakes and other wildlife that I know certain people are scared of.

When god comes down and call it a day!
There's a saying that goes" Birds of a feather flock together" We humans are more comfortable with others who are like us and share our cultures. With the races, our cultures are blending more as time goes by. But there will always be those who resist other cultures. Even to the point of being hostile.
If this were a serious question, it would merit a serious answer, but you're merely a petulant rightwinger whining about those black folks and how they're at fault for white racism.



I suppose the Don Imus affair got you off on this little riff.
I agree it does created segregation, but the media is reflecting how society is. America is so diverse, yet still no segregated, I will never understand why. No one ever says "white community" they only say African American community when its about something negative. I think that we are all just people with different skin tones due to the climate in which our ancestors inhabited. We might have different cultures but at the end of the day we all want the same basic things.
