Bush's NEW Neighborhood BANNED Non-Whites Until 2000

As was reported this week, George Bush has bought a new house in
a wealthy part of Dallas, called Preston Hollow, to live in after he
leaves office. Preston Hollow homeowners are used to having well-known
neighbors; the area is already home to Dallas Mavericks' owner Marc
Cuban and former presidential candidate Ross Perot. And while many of
the Bushes' new neighbors seem perfectly happy and excited to welcome
the former first couple, a few of them, reports the Wall Street
Journal, have some significant reservations:

The impending presence of a former President is ratcheting up
security fears. "I am afraid with all the negative press the president
has been getting, the whole neighborhood is going to be a target," said
a woman, who wouldn't give her name. She carried her King Charles
spaniel Friday past the Bushes' new abode.

But Raw Story reports that the area had some issues long before Bush made it his new home.

Until 2000, the neighborhood association's covenant said only white
people were allowed to live there, though an exception was made for
servants. The document, enacted in 1956, reads:

"Said property shall be used and occupied by white persons only except
these covenants shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of
different race or nationality in the employ of a tenant."
