I don't buy that Rufus is an innocent idiot at all. You're trying to sell your house and find that clause. Black person comes to buy the house and what, in the year 2005, do you say? Gee black person I can't sell you this house because some bigot long dead says I can't. Spare me. How about gee black person, maybe after all that civil rights stuff we might be able to find a way around this.
I'd bet rufus is just an ass that enjoyed jacking with people. Whatever the lady doesn't get I hope the lawyer gets the rest.
"If it were a Hispanic or 'Blacks' only deed would this even be in the news?
Hell, it would probably be celebrated as 'diversity'."
No... that would be illegal too.
"What kind of idiot would try to enforce a racial covenant in this day and age?"
Yes, that's a completely indefensible position, not enlightened like giving minorities entry points for their ethnicity in the contest to enter Univ of Michigan Law School, or giving favortism to minorites over whites for plum jobs, etc., etc.
LOL! So how is affirmative action different than a racial covenant? Hint: all men are created equal, but some are [viewed by the government as] more equal than others

She don't look that damaged to me. She looks like some white hating black woman with a chip on her shoulder hoping to win first prize at the judicial jackpot of injustice.
sounds like a job for a certain org to put the smack down....

Your so racist!/Sarc
Only in Richmond! Glad I escaped to Louisa County.
Because when you slam one poor schmuck, you then are able to cower every other poor schmuck.
Witness the homosexual radicals.
That is excellent. You are absolutely correct.
Senator Robert Byrd?
Yes, but only against "white n$$$$rs".
I don't see it this way. Considering we're talking private property (in theory) and considering more especially all the weighted elements in favor of minorities in education, jobs, legal protections and so forth... I cannot find a liberty-loving argument against a person being selective with whom they choose to do business.
I live an a neighborhood which has been part of mass shift in ethnic makeup. Property values have risen thanks to market forces *however* the attractiveness, cleanliness and basic community itself has degraded. Sure, this reflects the usual tenant apathy vs. owner-occupied self-interest but the fact of the matter is, why would I want to sell or rent to person who do not value the property and community within which they're asking to become a part?
On the flip side, this "multicultural" fascism is quite dangerous. Language is becoming a problem when a longtime English native-speaking resident cannot communicate with the neighbors, with employees of neighborhood shops or read signage of the neighborhood services. Culture is becoming a problem when older men drop their pants and make use of the neighbor's lawn like they did in the old country. Neighborhood residents and children be damned.
I grow increasingly tired of seeing unfinished food thrown on the ground because it's too much of a burden to carry the rest of the sandwich across the street with you. I grow tired of watching half-chewed food being spat-out into a gutter because you ran out of your softdrink. I'm tired of shopping carts become the lawn-ornament de rigeur.
And that's just based on what I've seen this week.
I'm not saying I agree with the concept of a "whites only" deed but I question the strictness of limitations put upon owners by judicial activism or liberal social experimentation. The more excuses made under "multiculturalism" and "tolerance" for coarse, intrusive, and bad behavior the more balkanized our nation will become until eventually we will live in a cities, towns and neighborhoods antithetical to the values and traditions which have made America great. We need more assimilation, not less and I believe property owners should have the right to insist on assimilation rather than allowing defacto occupation by foreigners and fostering reconquista movements.
Are you saying the courts have ruled you can't *not* sell to illegals?

It might be illegal but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen in effect. We all know how neighborhoods organize in cities into ethnic ghettos. Ever wonder how it is that these aren't broken up by the diversity police? Oh, of course... the diversity police depend upon these ghettos to get elected and maintain power.
The sellers mistake was being stupid enought to say something like that.
Excellent points made.
