There it is. The thing they DON'T understand is that rural folks have to go along and get along. Hard to do without neighbors. If their vision is all black, they will find out the bed they've made.
@roamer_1 They know. Oprah created an exclusive upscale housing development in the middle of NC back in the 70's,and ownership was restricted to black people. I can't remember where it is now,but it was in one of the poorer counties with a large,and maybe even majority black population.
And let's be plain about this,these were not middle-class homes. They were mansions on large lots with gated security.
Plenty of cheap labor around to do the serf work,and a lot of it was white. There is NOTHING rich blacks love more than white servants.
Oprah herself had a big house built there,but I seriously doubt she had any intention of even visiting there,never mind living there.
IIRC,it was a failure. Not close enough to any large city were there was a large population of upper middle-class blacks looking for upscale suburban living,and practically none of the locals,black or white could afford the costs.
