Its one of the most racist places I've ever lived.

(146,317 posts)And that's the story, in a nutshell. And the working cops come running to enforce that.
I can imagine that happening in any number of places, actually. My wife's mother sold her townhome in MN. When the eventual buyer looked at it, MiL got a call from the HOA office, asking her if she was planning to sell to a black family. MiL said, "What's that to you?" No answer.
The sale went through with no additional problems.
