Would you really want to live where you are not wanted???

I know I would not move in an area like that.

I have a right to live wherever I want. You have a right to live wherever you want. Why should a person be told "you are not allowed to live here because you are of a certain race"? This is a free nation. I have the same rights, and I will not have someone tell me that I can't live there. It should be about choices.

There should be no areas like that.

What is moral about telling people "because of your race/skin color/ethnicity, you aren't allowed to live here, by law"?

You are missing my point. It is about the freedom to move to the place that you want to live in. I'm talking about FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I am speaking of having the freedom of choice. Making laws saying "because of your race, you are not allowed to live here", that is a form of force.

Well, there shouldn't be. Say I can afford to live in Beverly Hills, and that I want to live there because it is a safe area with homes that I like, a great school system and other amenities that I want in a neighborhood.

If I can afford a home there, there should be no legal or societal restrictions to me buying there. Anyone should have a right to live wherever they want as long as they can afford to live there.

Besides, I am a person of high character. The neighbors should want to have someone like me there. If they don't, it points to a character problem on their part.

Those kinds of laws are no longer in place, and if they are, they are unconstitutional and can be taken up in court. I'm talking about how these laws once existed. There were many places, where by law, I wouldn't have been allowed to live in simply because I was Black. None of those laws applied to Whites, just non-Whites. Why should I be limited in where I can live and not live? Why shouldn't I have the same freedom to choose where I want to live as anyone else?
