Quoted directly from the original deed of our house (some parts illegible).

No part of the premises or property above described shall ever …….occupied or owned by or held for, or rented, leased, sold, …….conveyed and or otherwise become the property of, or ….. use or possessions of, any person or persons other than White persons of strict Caucasian blood; provided, this covenant shall not prevent occupancy of servants quarters by domestic servants of a different race or nationality employed by an owner or tenant on the premises.

Even thought these provisions are illegal today, they still taint the neighborhood. I wonder when I meet or see original owners, how they felt at the time. Maybe this is a small lesson in complacency with unfair systems. I’ve shopped at Wal-mart and I’ve owned a few gas guzzling cars. I wonder what people will think of me when I’m an old man.
