LINDA - FORMALLY OF RIVERDALE

I SAW THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE POSTED RESPONSES TO MY COMMENT ABOUT MY HOUSE IN RIVERDALE. MOST OF THEM HAVING TO DO WITH RACE. I NEVER MEANT FOR IT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR A RACIAL VIEW, IT'S NOT. BUT, SINCE WE STILL LIVE IN A FREE(?) COUNTRY, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR VOICE OPINION. SO YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT. BUT, THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS ABOUT THE MAJOR CHANGE THIS AREA HAS GONE THROUGH, FOR WHATEVER REASON. AND THE COMMENTS I MADE ABOUT THE CARS "JUMPING" TO THE BEAT AT THE GAS STATIONS, AND THE TITLE PAWN AND CHECK CASHING BUSINESSES ON EVERY CORNER, AND THE TEENAGE GIRLS "DIRTY DANCING" IN THE ISLES AT THE WALMART, AND THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO SHOP AFTER DARK, AND THE MARTA BUSES, AND MOST OF ALL THE DECLINE OF THE PROPERTY VALUE ARE ALL TRUE. AND YOU CAN ATTRIBUTE THIS CHANGE TO WHATEVER REASON YOU SEE FIT. YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENED TO CHANGE THIS AREA IN SUCH A NEGATIVE WAY. I'LL BE WATCHING FOR YOUR RESPONSE, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION.

"My best friend is black." I think that the previous post (lawdawga) reflects the sentiments of a significant portion of the county.

Okay...if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it must be a duck. What was the racial population when you bought your house? What was the racial population when you left? 'Nuff said.
