I tried to find the posters name who posted abt African American male genitalia so that I could request that he be banned from this site. So disgusting and inappropriate. But the post must have been removed.
Nearly every day it is shocking to read what people post on Talk of the Villages. An embarrassment.
The ideal would be that this community be welcoming, kind and inclusive rather than what it is.

The Villages really is "kind and inclusive" but it is NOT Stepford. The Developers advertised this place as American's Friendliest Hometown. In reality, The Villages is a sampling of seniors from all over the country, and from some other countries. Generally speaking, this really is a great and friendly town. It's big, so you are going to find at least one person that you do not agree with, or may not be as friendly as you might wish. I have found folks to be very nice and helpful. Villagers like to enjoy their freedom and liberty. Generally speaking, most are patriotic and proud. That said, many folks have their opinions and preferences. What's wrong with that? Seniors have the tendency to speak out. What's wrong with that? Seniors have "toed" the line for the majority of their lives and now that they will suffer very little repercussions for their blatant speech, they tend to speak their minds. Speaking for others, seniors mean no ill will when they speak their mind. Even if they do not agree with you, you will find folks falling all over each other to assist you if you need help. Yes, this "home town" is the friendliest. Kind of hard to find another town that has friendlier people. Like I said, we are not Stepford so we do have our faults. At our ages, we expect to be excused for minor slights.
