Karl Lindner

Well I hope today will go as planned. I hate that I have to be the one to tell them the news, but I guess thats what happens when you are the chairman of the New Neighbors Orientation Committee. I just hope they will be calm so we can "sit down and talk to each other". The last thing I want is for them to get all aggressive, I mean what were they expecting, trying to move into a neighborhood where they just aren't wanted. There are many negro neighborhoods that they would fit in just fine. Although ill be clear that this decision isn't on any basis of racial prejudice, its simply for the benefit of everyone. They should just be thankful that we are giving them such a generous offer, but the people would do anything to keep our "little community... [of] hard-working, honest people" free of people that don't have the same "common background" as us. They could take the offer and buy an even bigger house! I hope they will have some brains and think sensibly, I mean who wouldn't take the money when its given to you on such easy terms? Well, I finally arrived at the place, wish me luck.

  1. Devin, this was an interesting point of view to choose! You portrayed Lindner pretty accurately - at this time, many white people were trying to mask their racism by using "nice" terms.
