That kind of thinking is so 1960 though.

Isn't it, though? I live in an integrated neighborhood, have for 20 odd years, and it's no big deal. I didn't see anyone putting up "for sale" signs, either, except for those who were moving for job reasons, a bigger house, a smaller house (or into a condo), stuff like that.

Then it is no big deal for you. It is a big deal for others. Just because you live next store, or in an entire neighborhood that is mixed, does not mean everybody has/does. There is a whole big ol' piece a land out there with many, many neighborhoods. A lot of them are not integrated. Anf there are a lot of folks who are not ready to except it. My original point... Which is rejected commonly by those who do accept integration...maybe because you don't have a choice?

I live in an integrated neighborhood now, and grew up in an integrated neighborhood, both in the South. Funny, but my parents, who grew up during legal segregation in the rural South, didn't seem to suffer under the "degradation" of having black neighbors.
