There was a long pause. I could see my father redden.
“So, we’re not welcome here?” His voice was tight.
“Legally, you have a right to be here, of course,” the speaker said. (New York state had just enacted a law prohibiting homeowners from including “restrictive covenants” in their deeds that barred sales to “Negroes or Hebrews.”) “But we don’t think you and your family will be happy here.”
“Thank you for coming by,” my father said flatly, opening the front door for them. Then he exploded: “Now get the hell out of my house!”
@celset2 Sounds like your father was dealing with some racist Christian asshats*. It would not have been worth it to ask “Does Jesus approve of your message?” 🔥 * Not to imply all Christians are racist, asshats. Unfortunately Christianity has been infested by Beelzebub in disguise, and not much of a disguise.
