An honest mistake.

I thought that everyone knew that wealthy black folks lived in deluxe apartments in the sky.

One would think so, but apparently not. We have a neighborhood, just about a mile down the road from here. It's been a predominantly African-American neighborhood for a very long time. But, at some point it became community for the affluent blacks in the area. There is probably not a single home over there that goes for less than half a million.
I drove my bigot brother over there once, and told him to look around, "Yeah, so?", "Nice place, Huh?", "It's f**kin' beautiful. So what?", "It's nearly 100% black."...........He still didn't get it. He told me a little later that I was an asshole for putting him, "in danger like that."

In danger of what?

They were probably afraid we were there to rob them..................

LOL, I remember when I bough my first home (inner city) my dad said he'd never come visit me there. To dangerous.

My neighbors, old Jewish couple, Mexican family, a family from France, a mixed marriage couple.... oh yeah and on the other side of town was a poor black area.
