Move to Colorado.

Were they harassing you because you were white?

These things are about class, not race.

Knuckle draggers come in every color.....

Time reveals all....I can wait

You'll get your 20 bucks back Brewha...

My assumption was you parked the uhaul in the wrong place and all of your new neighbors were mad.

Wait.
What'd I miss?

Yep, it was OK then, to be racist, and most everybody was. Heck, even President Truman, the great Truman, uttered a number of racist statements, in public. One if the most famous Truman quotes: "I think one man is just as good as another so long as he’s not a n**er or a Chinaman” – President Harry Truman

Trump seems pale in comparison, but, let me tell you, he is great at division, believe me...oh wait, can
"Mexicans are rapists" be topped?

This will sound silly, but what if the neighborhood WAS better "before"?

If the blacks represented a lower economic class then wouldn't their integration into the neighborhood bring property values down regardless of their skin color?

Seeing reality and stating facts that are mathematically accurate does not make you racist. Using it as an excuse to discredit that segment of the population does.

Unfortunately, today's liberals don't see the difference.

It's a racist comment because it makes the assumption that the integrated minorities will be less intelligent.

Schools do dumb things down to the LCD, but it's not based on race. Just stoopidness.

property values would go down if the "old" neighbors sold their homes for less

backwards.
They would sell their properties for less if the property values were down.

Nobody just "decides" to sell for less.

Plus, I think they all had aluminum and vinyl siding. Nothing ruins value so quickly. Or so I heard.

So TW's neighbor is prejudice, so therefore any talk of how the neighborhood was in the "old days" is racist.

I know that that's not what you mean, but that's what we're being fed.

People feel the need to be "careful" with their word choice, because saying things or remembering better times could be construed as being insensitive.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

We should abandon the Pledge of Allegiance and instead read aloud a single mantra:
Some people are racist, but that doesn't mean everything is racist.

The images from the crowds during the inauguration and all the celebratory events that day, contrasted with the crowds the next day, in size, diversity and location, speaks volumes...

...and the images that give one the most comfort is worth at least a thousand words...

but how could values go down until a couple sold too low in the neighborhood?
less demand/high supply in normal situations, though that has not happened too often until recently in real estate.

But right in Boston, as you know, we had a panic market created by banks and realtors after a few black families moved in back in the 50's and 60's. It became known as White Flight and those homes stayed undervalued for decades.

I agree with much, you are not surprised, but many families that fled Boston were not personally against integrated neighborhoods (no idea if they were libs or not), rather they left for fear of further price drops which in effect created further price drops.

Behind the scenes was where the racism festered as part of a nefarious plot by bankers and realtors to "place" the blacks who qualified for mortgages in selected neighborhoods... known as Red-Lining...which was most definitely racist and "proved" that one should fear black neighbors due to loss of home value.

If it happened here, I have a feeling, I'm believing it may have happened on a widespread basis in large cities. And no, that does not mean the sellers were racists, they were victims of a scam too.

we likely have a ton in common on this and other issues, as you know. I'm glad you agree I am more right.

But I don't want you to think you slipped one by me so I'll just say "Vinyl is final".

close enough to be a point in my column.
Shameful.

you staying at the trailer with Z?

I think my neighbors on the right of me moved because of me.

I don't think it was cause I'm brown though, I think it's because I wouldn't kiss their azz like my predecessors.

Annoying ass neighbors.

So...you weren't like..."what can brown do for you?"

I know one of my former neighbors to the left moved because of me- followed by a good one then another bad one and now back to very good.

Reminds me of what the old black people I knew growing up said about how to get along...

Wow, didn't think I would get that many responses on that, lol.

Well, I think it was more my dogs than me personally. My old neighbors when we bought the house, they had a pitbull that was crated when we looked at the house. Friendly dog, so I was wondering why, scratching my head.

Well, it didn't take me long, within a month, I had a nasty message on my door to do something about my barking dogs (they bark, but no more than any other NORMAL dogs). So... it pissed me off, and it was right around Christmas time... So I came up with a plan. I went, and bought a bunch of gifts, and went beating on all my neighbors doors giving them gifts until I found the a$$hole that did it.

Found em!

Then she says, well, maybe if you crate one of them (that's when I realized why the old home owner's pit was crated), I was like, nah, you'll just have to get over it. She was like, we were the first ones here before any other houses, blahblahblahblah. It's like lady... if you want to be isolated, you are going to have to dig in those pockets and buy a bigger plot of land.

Anyway, they called the police on me at one point, then I guess they sent one out and she called me and told me that she didn't hear a single dog the whole time she was sitting outside my house. Not just my dogs, but she didn't hear any dogs... period. I was like, that's cause they're a$$holes and they'll call you if they bark one time.

Anyway, they tried to screw with me a few other times... if she were to be able to get into my head, she would have found out much sooner that I just don't give AF. At one point the lady tried to talk to me, I was like... I have nothing to say to you. A few months later, they were gone.

The new neighbors are cool though.
