As far as blacks are concerned, I would prefer to work with less of them--
especially the male ones.
I don't want my every white glace, action, or word to be interpreted by them as a prelude to racism. I don't want to have to listen to how the only reason they are not a CEO is because of racism and have to nod sympathetically, when their incompetence is so painfully obvious to everyone, but them. Sorry, besides black men always say white women benefit disproporiately from affirmative action, yet it is the black student unions at colleges accross the country that have harrassed the hell out of anyone who criticizes it. If Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan are for someonething (they are all strongly in favor of affirmative action) you can bet your ass they are not doing it for us white women.

As far as women are concerned, I would prefer to work with less of them--especially the white ones. I'm totally gay, and I don't want my every non-white glance to be interpreted by them as prelude to harassment or rape. Sorry. Besides, white women benefit disproportionately from affirmative action anyway. Strange how the opponents of it don't slap a white woman's face on that argument.

Gays, like feminists have piggybacked on the civil rights movement. Most gays now want 'normalcy' and most 3rd wave feminists want 'femininity'. What that means is that they want the ease that comes from conforming to the dictates of white identity and that minorities can no longer trust them on issues of 'intersectionality'. You say: "woman is the n--- of the world". I say, "then you sure as hell ought to be treated that way." From what I have seen, 'rights' are limited and identity politics is a zero-sum game. So maybe the blacks should research how much power the Church is willing to give them in exchange for overturning abortion laws and gay marriage. We all know where your solidarity would be.

Maybe now.
But wait til he wants their votes so he can get married.
They'll become his new Mandingo best friends.
And he'll obsess about them day and night.
(when he's not obsessing over Mormons, that is)

Whatever. I guess "dude" should have tipped me off, but it's been at least ten years since I've seen the movie. Sue me.

It is left as is because updating condo declarations would have to be brought up to date with dozens of other legally required updates. Those other updates would require decisions and voting by 2/3rd of the ownership. Just bringing it up results in endless bickering and hard feelings between neighbors, so why do it?

Go to the "Victims and Offenders" document for the year 2005, and go to Table 42... compare the numbers under the category of "Type of crime and race of victim" for "Rape/sexual assault"...

Sundown Towns: book, searchable database, etc.

Some Dallas neighborhoods and suburbs have done wacky things to preserve de facto segregation and I'm sure some still do, but (as has already been pointed out) Preston Hollow deed covenants aren't proof by themselves.

GWB is being who he really is.

A racist white guy from the upper class.

I live in an apartment complex full of Israeli Jews and they are all arrogant and talk incredibly loudly and are generally a bunch of huge assholes.
They treat anyone who is not an Israeli Jew like shit.

Said lot or lots shall not be sold, conveyed, or rented nor leased, in whole or in part, to any person not of the White race; nor shall any person not of the White race be permitted to occupy any portion of said lot or lots or of any building thereon, except as domestic servant actually employed by a White occupant of such building.

Now, given that these clauses have been unenforceable in Washington since 1948 and outright banned since 1968, what do you think is the best thing to do about them? As I see it, there are three possibilities.

1) Leave them as they are.
2) Remove them.
3) Amend the deed or covenant with a clause that specifically negates the racial restrictions.

To me, 3 seems like the best option (assuming it's legally feasible). 2 is apparently very difficult to do because of legal issues, plus it seems like just sweeping the ugly past under the rug. As for 1, while racial restrictions are still unenforceable, it's offensive to leave them unchallenged on the deed.
