Yes, Shaker and Cleveland Hts. are good examples of integrated
neighborhoods. However, the rest of the Cleveland area is extremely
segregated.

...And if you want to look up the facts, go to the library and do a
search through USA today. They published the findings of one study
recently ranking Cleveland the 2nd most segregated city.

Additionally, a study was done of Shaker Hts which showed that in terms
of percentages, their city was integrated but when you actually broke
down the city into neighborhoods, it was largely made up of pockets of
blacks and pockets of whites. If memory serves me correctly, Cleveland
Hts. had a similar makeup.

Before accusing someone of wacky facts, I suggest you get your own facts
in order.
