Grand Rapids woman receives unwelcoming letter at new home on southwest side

[@dmt02459]

I think it would be much better if the neighborhood group that said they didn't send the letter actually stand with her publicly.

[@user-vk7cp1op9p]

Agreed! That is how neighborhoods learn to be stronger than people😊 that tear it down.

[@JSchaffer214]

It's the homeowner's association which means it's made up of some of her fellow neighbors and she said her other neighbors have been supportive since receiving the letter. One would assume that at least some of those neighbors are either officers of the H.O.A. or are members. Does nobody in the comments own their own home?

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

We recently had the only Black family in our neighborhood move out due to a similar letter. We found out about the letter and had a 'support' barbecue on our cul-de-sac, the one on which they resided. While they appreciated the support, the husband said that he felt that the single person expressing such vicious behavior was an immediate threat to his family's safety. Our neighborhood has Hispanic, white, Asian.... Young families, old pensioners. People who are losing their hair (me) and people with green hair, and people whose hair changes color (seemingly) on a weekly basis. If we could find who wrote the letter (the woman in this vid had hers hand written, so maybe someone would recognize the writing), we would be showing them what ostracizing someone really meant. No mercy for such hatred.

[@brt5273]

That's unfortunate they had to move. I'm not very outgoing but I love living in a diverse neighborhood where everyone coexists, some more friendly than others, but most everyone at least occassionally giving a little wave or more.

[@pamcooper5837]

My daughter (white} is married to a black man. They bought a house (because they both WORKED!) and moved into a nice modest suburban neighborhood. Immediately, the neighbor across the street put up a 'For Sale' sign in protest. They were 'cordially' shunned, and their son was bullied on the bus--there is more, but too lengthy to continue. After a couple of years, they had to relocate for a job and move out. Shortly after their move, the snooty house on one side of them was busted for high end drug dealing (they drove new Lincolns). The guy in the house that put out the 'For Sale' sign and didn't sell it had a PTSD experience and tried to kill half the neighborhood. BUT, that young bi-racial couple on the corner . . . watch out for them!

Sometimes white passing people are even worse. I watched a documentary about a man who came from a white passing family. He was born darker (still not dark at all) and his family chastised him for it. They would tell him to pray for God to forgive his sins and lighten his color. Mind you, his grandfather, who was the main culprit, had double the black DNA he did. This man just physically looked darker, but his DNA was nearly all European. A lot of people in the comments said their families are white passing and treat dark black people like crap. It’s called internalized racism.

It makes a huge difference having a decent husband to conduct business. Even where we live now there have been more single moms moving in with kids (different races). The reality is that you can tell which kids have a good dad in the home vs the kids who don't. It is what it is. My son is grown, but for years after his dad & I divorced I was a divorced single mom. I didn't get upset & understood why some places wouldn't want to rent to me. Now I'm married and pregnant since I understand the importance of having a strong husband and father in the home. It makes a huge difference. And the blaq community is always trying to argue about the reality of how society views single moms instead of using that energy to build blaq families, businesses, & safe neighborhoods that way this single mom trend wouldn't even be a discussion
