In my parents neighborhood, there is one black family in their neighborhood. They were there before my parents moved there and they were one of two families that actually welcomed my parents to the neighborhood when my parents moved in to the neighborhood. They brought over fresh baked goodies (i.e. bread, cookies, etc.) and the other family brought over fresh blueberries.
Unfortunately, there is a KKK group in the town in which my parents live and we're all afraid for the black family in our neighborhood. Not only are we afraid for them but for the rest of the neighborhood because the neighborhood has an association. The association approves what kind of houses can be built in the neighborhood and puts a few restrictions on residents (the restrictions aren't Nazi restrictions but there are some rules). Of course, the association let them in and there's still people moving into the neighborhood. It's obvious no one cares if there are black people or what race you are (i.e. there's a Vietnamese family across the street from my parents) living in the neighborhood.
It's quite unfortunate people have to fear for their lives and property and families in the 21st century due to racism.
