That is pretty much true. I remember terms like "block busting" (a
black person moving in) and "white flight". My father was very liberal
and never moved far enough to ever make a profit on his house. We
always left when crime drove us out, not just the first few black
families. One thing I have that Obama doesn't is, I was raised by a black
woman.
She was a neighbor who was my "day care" for about 10 years.

Reggie, as usual, is full of ****. I'm not sure what the phrase "the
racist people in Maryland had to leave town when a few blacks moved into
their city" means. That's non-nonsensical. What city? There are no
substantially sized cities south of Annapolis, and even Annapolis is small
time, as cities go.

PeeGee County has been the "escape from DC" county for blacks for many,
many decades, probably more than 50 years. It has had a majority black
population as a result for a long, long time, though I think it is about
60% black. In the early 1980s, the percentage was lower, though.

Some of our friends in this neighborhood were a black family, but they
thought it was "too rural" around here for their taste, so they moved
"upstate" to one of the Annapolis 'burbs. The husband was a senior officer
with the Capitol police, and the wife was a muckety-muck with the USPS.
They had moved here from PeeGee county. Had Reggie moved in next to them,
they probably would have left the state.

Of course, harry.... We believe you.

Novels of fiction...maybe that's your calling?
