Borence "No Nigra" Zone
North Omaha. The North section of Omaha, Nebraska usually houses a large African American community. As the south houses a large community of Latinos, and the rich filthy bastards in the west. The exception to this is the Borence neighborhood.
Filled mostly with retired white folk who were transplanted here from elsewhere back in the day when dirt farming was at it's boom.
This found when Lost Bird and his sister went to look at a house that was for rent. Living in the windowless basement of one's mother's home and eating fish heads like the family secret is driving both insane.
The landlord, one Bob Wayitwas, and his darling little wife Mrtyle showed us the home. It was a nice 4 bedroom, with a fireplace, screened in porch, and a nice master bedroom. Lost Bird asked the nice retired man with a southern drawl, (think Larry the cable guy, at 85) if the neighborhood was nice.
"Well," grumbled Bob. "I reckon it's nice. Retired fellah done live on the one side, poor fellah just lost his wife, and a collert fellah done just moved in on the other. Normally, we don't rent to collert folk. They bring in their drugs and those nappy headed brats of theirs, and it's all over."
Lost Bird's sister grumbled under her breath, "Collert people?"
The man answered, "Yep, them nigra's ain't moving in this neck of the woods, hyuk."
Despite his ignorance, The home is only $500 a month. Month to month lease. And they didn't require a deposit. That and the fact they didn't have a problem having a half-breed (mexican/eskimo=meximo) living in their neighborhood.
