Are you saying that the Ruby community is trying to ban Black people? Where did you get that idea? What exactly is your point? https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/homeowners-associations-black-americans-discriminaiton-2020-9?international=true&r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/homeowners-... >When homeowners associations were first created, they helped keep Black people out of the neighborhood.

    Without being aware of the fact that they were originally meant to and still do discriminate against Black Americans who were brought to this country against their will in chains to be slaves? I still don't see the parallel with the Ruby community. I'm American and quite familiar with American politics, and I still don't see the point. The Ruby community has certainly had its sexism problems [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7], but are you saying it was also formed with the intent of banning Black people? Please explain.

      You are the only one talking about black people and completely missing the point. HOA = Petty people on power trips.
