I have no idea whether or not David Berkowitz is reformed or repentant, but frankly that's not for me or Wilson to question. Her attack seems much more squarely aimed at Christians themselves. Although I find myself opposed to the views of a lot of ultra-conservative Christian rhetoric, there simply is no place for the vehement disdain that Cintra spews forth at Christianity. You don't have to be Christian, you don't have to believe in God or forgiveness, but it is rather immature and in very bad taste to pick on those of us who do. New language could appear in the chain, negating the language of the covenant, but the new language would not remove the old.
Nothing can do that.
So the effect of the actions would be just like Shelley vs. Kramer, which nullified all such covenants in 1948. A chain of title records everything that ever happened to affect real property. Robert M. Jeffers A s someone who researches deed and titles in Virginia almost every working day I can state for the record that it is highly unlikely that anyone who owns a home is entirely cognizant of his or her subdivision restrictions. These covenants rarely appear in deeds, or even on the mortgage survey if one is required, but on the subdivision maps themselves. These maps are rarely seen by anyone but the professionals responsible for facilitating the sale, and race restrictions are so common on pre-WWII subdivision plots that they lose their shock value quickly.
