Remnants of Racism

MANIFESTO

It is amazing that restrictive covenants purporting to prevent the sale or rental of homes to blacks and other minorities still exist despite being found unenforceable over 60 years ago. It should be no surprise that some people still try to enforce these clauses. This is just another example of the simple fact that, no matter what the law is, if it isn't enforced or people choose to ignore it, the law doesn't mean a whole lot.

What is sadder is that this story touches our current Chief Justice.
