My husband is a civil engineer from Africa and I'm white, from the western suburbs of Chicago. We just bought a home in Munster, IN. Our neighbors are fantastic and we feel really lucky, but have had strange looks and feelings at different times outside of our neighborhood on White Oak Ave. We'll see what happens...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-76637580807821321872008-07-17T13:49:00.000-05:002008-07-17T13:49:00.000-05:00This is nothing new for Munster. I grew up in this lily white community and was disgusted by, and bucked against, the unashamed racial hatred expressed by a good many Munster residents. I remember when baseball star Ernie Banks of the Cubs looked into buying a home in Munster for himself and his family. When word got out, there was such a brou-ha-ha, that Banks backed off. Imagine opposing ERNIE BANKS as your neighbor! I had hoped the town had changed since the 30+ years since I left. Apparently not.veritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815849455121809852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-2974682688833293882008-07-17T01:17:00.000-05:002008-07-17T01:17:00.000-05:00God Help Us Racism still exist in America! The sad part if we got to know each other better we would find out we all want the same thing! Family, friends, religion and good times. The people that scare me are ones who will die for a cause! The truly insane thing is it is usually someone else telling you should die for a good cause, but they certainly won't be in line with you. Shiss don't tell Abduhl racism still exists in Indy! OK that's a low blow but the cause of Racism is change and not wanting to accept that someone is different. That's a very sad epitaph for the human race.guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.com
