    It is unfortunate that your friend has to put up with the activities you described. I would not like it, no matter who the new neighbors were. And speaking of neighbors, I don’t think the fact that the people are black has anything to do with their actions. As you may well be aware, all blacks aren’t loud, swear at people, honk horns throughout the day or night, etc. I think you get my drift. I am black and moved into an almost all-white neighborhood. I have found in the 10 years that I’ve been there that my neighbors are loud and I am the quiet one. I don’t think just because they are white that they are naturally obnoxious, because some are and some aren’t. So the issue here with your friend should really be that an obnoxious slob has moved in, not that the slob is black. Tell your friend to get together with other neighbors and approach the situation as concerned residents. Contact the rental agency, the Realtor or the owner. I’m sure one or more of these approaches will work for your friend and his other neighbors.
