Thanks for answering.

I disagree with your opinion, but I'm from another generation. I'm sure my grandkids will think some of my current opinions are obnoxious.

When I was really young, really young, my grandfather owned a steel shop in Detroit. Had a few blacks working for him. Not because of laws, but rather demand...low intellect type work. When the riots started, he insisted the blacks stay put...right there at the shop. He brought them food, and sent one out at certain times to deliver food to the others homes. But he(my grandfather) still lived in the burbs and continually moved outward, as the blacks moved outward. He hired them, helped them, but did not want to live next store to them. Why do you suppose this was? I imagine he was your fathers age...

Why do you suppose there is a constant battle going on between home owner associations and potential black buyers...aptment landlords etc?? Why?

It has changed a little because of the amount of blacks now in the middle and uppr class. But there is still the fobia, fear, or just plain dislike of the fact that a black family is moving into a white neighborhood. Once they do, some whites immediately put the for sale sign on their own property. Call it rascist. That is what todays culturally sanitized individual would call it. The un-sanitized person would call it not wanting to live next to blacks. Even though, 90% work with blacks, help blacks, and even hire blacks...not because they are told to.

As far as the queers go, I say no more about that...
