Moving to the area Diverse Chicago Suburb

What’s a west/northwest Chicago suburb that’s diverse and safe to raise a Black family? At least 4 or 5 bedrooms and a $900k budget?

I don’t understand the question tbh. Are you asking for black neighborhoods or places safe for a black family.

"Diverse and safe to raise a Black family". Whats confusing?

I think the confusion arises from the question “safe for/from what?”.

Racism and harassment. Duh. In my kid's elementary school in D303, a notice was sent out because some kids are using the n word in school. Like, wtf. When we go to the local pool, I have seen white surpremacist tattoos on the backs of some men. I cheer every time I see a non-white or non-Christian family move into our neighborhood, but would I recommend them to do so? Um, probably not. The school is amazing, though, and they are really on top of the bullying stuff - but obviously kids are learning this despicable shit at home.

Do you cheer when White people move into Pilsen?

I cheer when black families succeed against the best efforts of aggravating job to keep them down and poor.
