Comments on: Social Segregation http://freepresshouston.com/social-segregation/ FREE PRESS HOUSTON IS NOT ANOTHER NEWSPAPER about arts and music but rather a newspaper put out by artists and musicians. We do not cover it, we are it.

I think part of the problem is because it is easier to stay in your comfort zone. At the same time, I think for social gatherings, we take off our social awareness hats and put on our drinking caps. Clubs still have “black” nights and “white” nights and we just go along with that for the most part. It probably takes a more conscious effort on our parts to truly break down the walls of segregation.

The past few times I’ve been in midtown I’ve seen the same phenomenon, groups of six or more friends who are all the same race. Even though they shared the same spaces, bars, coffee shops, etc, they all remain separate, as in a state of tolerance but not integration.

Great article. It would be great if people actually admitted this but unfortunately we most deal this thing called pride that usually subjects you to denial of there being an issue.

We definately have a long way to go as far as the full integration of all races. Being open to this type of integration call for many to have an open mind and be tolerable of not only race, but religion and culture.

With that being said, I think the first and most important step begins with respect. Respecting others even though you may not agree with their practices. Once we infuse this into society, we can begin the process.

Even though the jogging/biking trail along White Oak bayou is re-done and beautiful, i’m often one of only a handful of white people out there using it. It is filled with hispanics. Meanwhile, the streets immediately adjacent to this trail are filled in the late afternoon with white people jogging and walking their dogs. It boggles my mind.
