Why do white people NOT want blacks in their neighborhoods? Wouldn't it make sense that if blacks brought value to a neighborhood, they would be welcome?Originally Posted by fj1200

Perianne, I agree there are many racists of all colors and political stripes. The focus here tends towards the whites, because that's most of the posters here.
I do promise though, that if Rev starts posting racist stuff about killing all the whites like Sharpton does, I'll slam him as well.

Wow, is that assbackwards.
It's not the new folks fleeing. It's those whose 'cultures' are being imperiled. If supply exceeds demand, prices fall.
There's laws against redlining you know.

Just when I think there's way too much made of racism, someone comes along to change my thinking. Then others applaud the racism and I know a reevaluation is in order.

God bless you, Perianne. America needs more like you !

I think we must be talking about two different things. I have no idea what the above means.
"If supply exceeds demand, prices fall." If the racial makeup of a neighborhood is not controlled, prices drop. Now that is a fact that is difficult to argue with.

I know. And the odd thing is, I am only American because I came here. Certainly not American by birth.I think I'll now have a 'Drummond moment', with ....

There is no 'drop in prices' if folks stay in their homes. It's when everybody wants to 'run away' from the new 'culture' that too many houses for sale say 'desperate.' Fire sale anyone?

Well, I could easily be wrong in this .. but, maybe it's because you arrived in America, you have enough alertness in you, to be aware of what's possible ? A slight detachment that comes of being able to look 'in' to a culture and observe how people interact with it, which gives you a slightly bigger picture, so a better overall perspective ?
It's actually frightening to consider that there are probably millions of Conservatives out there, who really don't begin to comprehend that the Left are all about re-engineering attitudes and imperatives, so that they reshape society by reshaping the people within it.
In my society .. if you look at TV recordings going back to the 1970's, say, and compare what was THEN permitted and thought 'nothing of', compared with the mindset of today, that'd see it as 'wrong' .. you understand how much re-engineering must've happened in the intervening years.
And people just don't realise that this is happening to them.
There will come a time, UNLESS Americans can mount a resistance to it which the British FAILED to do, where the Left will have re-engineered people to the point where America will no longer BE America, AND, Americans themselves won't be aware of it !!

Who are you kidding I still have them cutting my grass and plowing the fields.Jeff owned a few slaves up until a few years ago. They're a little slow on the news in Georgia.
I honestly can't think of any out and out racists from our extended family. Our immediate family? Nope. Got my ass kicked pretty good by BOTH parents when I was real young for repeating the N word. None of that was happening in our family. But yeah, we're human and we've all likely used the word before. But saying a word, and ACTIONS, are much different. We grew up in an area with quite a few black folks, and our school as well. The idea of "separate" was not acceptable in NJ. I'm cool and glad for that.
Seriously, when I go south to see Jeff, or my Dad, I seem to deal with more black folks than I do with white folks. Stores, restaurants, regular stores, businesses... Seemed to be that way anyway. And also the kindest people you would ever want to meet. I don't know why, just seems like the black folks are so much nicer the farther south you go. I'd like to live in the south just for the cool/kind people alone.Yes that is a joke.
As for coming south , the north has way more racism that we have down here, don't get me wrong its here but not like up in the inner cities.

The solution is no-nonsense police departments. Let strict law enforcement and strict prosecution drive the undesirables out. I guess the "just-us" department could try to exert pressure to not prosecute certain perpetrators based on skin color. Let some home invasions and break-ins go un-prosecuted to compensate for past redlining. Some undesirables were talking loud and acting disorderly in front of an empty house next door. I called the cops who promptly carted them off; no fuss, no muss.
Maybe some heavy-handed policing is a price worth paying to keep our neighborhoods nice. I applaud Collin County police departments, especially the McKinney PD.
Perianne, thanks for your post! I will remember to appreciate a persnickety Homeowners Association when you remind me what the alternative is.

You just repeated what I said. I am happy you are coming around, sir!

1. The two of you should get on the same page; are you going to argue race or are you going to argue culture?
2. I am eagerly awaiting your answer. And then give us all an idea of how you would enforce such a stricture.
