interesting stat

augh! i need to do my middle eastern night post, but i'm waiting on pictures to be passed along... to be posted soon!

in the meantime, an interesting statistic to consider:

"...reported that the majority of African Americans do not want to live in 'all-Black' neighborhoods; most prefer roughtly 'half-Black' neighborhoods. Similarly, when Sigelman et al., (1996) asked in a 1992 survey whether people would rather live in a neighborhood that is 'all black, mostly black, half black and half white, half white, mostly white or all white,' 44% of White Americans answered 'mostly white' and 30% said 'all white'; whereas 81% of Black Americans answered 'half black and half white.' Thus, the high concentrations of many Black neighborhoods cannot be explained by the preferences of African Americans."
