[Claudia-S]

I feel black Americans do not bring down the value of a neighborhood. Poor opinions of people, like those Stan expressed, do. I am a black female who grew up in a neighborhood of many races, and everyone took care of their homes and the neighborhood. Color has nothing to do with this issue. It depends on the person. For instance, since my parents have divorced, my mother now lives in an all-black neighborhood. The people who work and want something for themselves take care of their homes and the neighborhood. Those who do not work do not care about their homes, much less the neighborhood, but feel they have to have the nicest car on the block. These are people who have never owned anything, don’t want to be anything and couldn’t care less about people like you. There are many black Americans such as my family and myself who take care of ourselves and our community. I have been on my own for six years. I have a car, an apartment, am enrolled at a college in which I will be receiving an undergraduate degree in accounting and am applying to several colleges to study for a graduate degree in elementary education. I forgot to mention I work for one of the top companies in the country, Nortel Networks. My neighbors did not have a problem with me moving into their neighborhood because I care about myself, my home and my community.
