I will wager you envisioned a community of mansions when you first heard “gated community.” That was the impression the MSM and idiots liberals wanted to generate as it played into the nonsense about the community being “exclusive” and any black person wandering the area would instantly be out of place.

Apartments and condos everywhere have gated entrances. . . but they are never called a “gated community.”

Tell me when, if EVER, a condo area was referred to in crime reporting as a “gated community.”

So why now? Why is this condo area (where the units are the same size of apartments) called a “gated community?”

The answer is simple for even the most simple-minded: the MSM and liberal race-baiters wanted to convey an inaccurate image.

If you are honest you would admit you thought something along the lines of “exclusive” rich area when you heard the term.

How much??

You’d lose. In my world, “gated community” is any area where access is controlled by gates. Doesn’t matter what kind of housing is behind the gates.

If you were honest, you wouldn’t be trying to make this such an issue.

Facts are stubborn things. The area in question is access controlled - by gates. It’s a gated community.

I used to live in a gated community. It waz gated to keep out the riff-raff and criminals in the surrounding neighborhood. It cost us an extra 2,000 dollars a year to live there, but it was worth it. And yes many expensive homes were there.

Yes absolutely there is a connotation in “gated community” that goes well beyond the simple denotation of the two words. It wasn’t necessary for the news media to mention it in the Zimmerman case except they wanted to impose a narrative on the reader.
