    I have lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana all of my life. Do not stereotype me because I live in the south. I am a Bible believing Christian and there is not a racist bone in my body. Down here, we have a large concentration of black people. In New Orleans, there is even more. I know where all the black areas are and what they are like. I know and work with many black people and find them all pleasureable. In whole though, black people tend to be louder, more active physically and definitely a lot more vocal. They take advantage of all the space around them. They are not trying to take over, but are acting cofortably in their surroundings. Yes, they block the areas in front of stores and theaters, but when in they are in their own black neighborhood, that is also how they act. Other black people that they live near do not mind because that is their free nature. So when a horn is honked in a black neighborhood, it goes unnoticed. Large gatherings and people on the street at night goes unnoticed in these neighborhoods because it is natural and commonplace. On the contrary though, white people are more conservative(not uptight). Serenity and individualism is preferred in neighborhoods. Neither whites or blacks are acting wrong, but merely on how they are comfortable. Sometimes the two dont mix in one neighborhood. Of course, I am not classifying all blacks, but basing this on what I have seen in the south. Your neighbor can be rationalized with. Blacks are not thoughtless fools and compromises can be made. I am proof. I have done so in the heart of racism. Yes, the KKK still exits in areas around me. Even though, black people still talk to white people. Try it. It works.
