Why does Mama buy a house in an all-white neighborhood?

Mama buys a house in an all-white neighborhood in "A Raisin in the Sun" because she believes it is an opportunity for her family to escape the cramped and oppressive living conditions they currently endure. The house symbolizes her dreams and aspirations for a better life, where her children can have more space and a chance to thrive. Despite the racial tensions and potential backlash they might face, Mama's decision is motivated by her determination to create a secure and fulfilling future for her family, defying the racial barriers of the time.
