What's So Bad About Dallas
"Republican presidential hopeful George W. Bush and his wife sold their Dallas home in 1995 with a "restrictive covenant" in the deed designed to restrict ownership to white residents, records of the sale indicate.
Bush purchased the property in the Dallas neighborhood of Preston Hollow in 1988 and sold it in 1995, six days after being sworn in as governor of Texas. The restrictive language was present in the deed in both transactions. But since the state of Texas outlawed such restrictions in 1984, the language was never legally enforceable."
But fear not, George Bush is not just moving back to Dallas, but to similar haunts:
"Until 2000, the neighborhood association's covenant said only white people were allowed to live there, though an exception was made for servants.
Enacted in 1956, part of the original document reads: 'Said property shall be used and occupied by white persons except those shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of different race or nationality in the employ of a tenant.'"
