I am communicating with a prospective Buyer who registered on my web site and searched for homes. Throughout the day we have discussed school districts and properties with pools, and suddenly I get a question I was not prepared for, “Does the KKK still exist in Oklahoma?”
HOW do I answer this?
This Buyer will be relocating to Tulsa from Orange County, California – oh my, what a culture shock!
The TRUTHFUL answer to her question is “yes.” Sadly, it is yes.
She is Asian, married to a Caucasian male and they have bi-racial children. She has lived in a multicultural and diverse neighborhood all her life and is scared to death about relocating to Tulsa.
I don’t blame her.
How do I KNOW that the KKK is still alive and well in Oklahoma? My friend Judy who lives ten minutes west of me in Osage County discovered shocking KKK literature on her front porch less than four months ago. She scanned and e-mailed the literature to me – my jaw dropped when I read it.
How would you answer this question?
And I’m truly sad to have been asked this and more sad to have to answer this. Wish I could respond, “Are you kidding? It’s 2010!”
