In every nice neighborhood
there’s one white family that Does
Not Give a Fuck. You know the
family I’m talking about. They
don’t do their lawn, don’t paint the
fence, don’t fix the roof. Their
house is shit. My mom found that
house and bought it, which is how
she snuck a black family into a
place as white as Highlands North.
Most black people integrating
into white suburbs were moving to
places like Bramley and Lombardy
East. But for some reason my mom
chose Highlands North. It was a
suburban area, lots of shopping.
