Oops! Sorry!!

I don't know, JMR, I could be wrong (it's happened before!) but I do not think that it was so much "hyper-liberal Norman" (??) deciding amongst themselves to not sell homes to black people pre-1965 or whenever. I think it was pretty standard practice across the USA. My mother was a realtor back in Connecticut in those days and it was the same situation there. My former husband and I lived in Denver in the seventies and it was the same situation there. Just try to get a mortgage in Five Points in 1975! Ha ha ha!!! Red-lining. We couldn't even get a TV delivered! We looked at each other and said "Wow! They really DON'T come up into the hills anymore!"

Dr. Henderson was the first block-buster in a small town, and many people are still here who remember it, and it has become an iconic story told every year. It was not unique to Norman, however, in my experience.

My Mom was a realtor in Norman for 35 years...trust me on this one--it was a well done slick maneuver...and they were ALL big-time democrats...ALL...

I shall send a donation to starving children to make up for this final bit of off-topic miscreance...

If you want to send me a donation, I'll forgive another off-topic, jmark. LOL

You are already quite well-off...but perhaps a few extra shekels for kids who need food...which is where we all should send the extra cash we might have...you can't take it with you...
