President Obama and Senator Tammy Duckworth walking together on the day Obama signed into law Duckworth's legislation providing mental health care to veterans to prevent suicide.
Back when the president did serious things that actually helped people and didn’t disrespect vets!
Before I see any hate on this amazing man next to Tom. I would like everyone to know that I have the same condition as he does, mine is invisible, his is visible we both have NF1. This man is Adam Pearson & he is an extraordinary person who is an advocate for the NF1 community.
A racist realtor for Douglas Elliman accidentally texted "ugh they are black" to a Black couple looking for an apartment in NYC. The text was meant to be sent to the landlord, but it was sent directly to the prospective renters.
After realizing the mistake, the agent attempted to apologize, but the couple is moving forward with legal action by filing a housing discrimination lawsuit alleging federal and New York state housing law violations and racial profiling.
By sending a text like that, it implies that the realtor expected the property owner to be racist too and share that sentiment.
Housing discrimination is notoriously difficult to prove in US courts. There's always subtle excuses like another applicant, credit score, income requirements, etc. This racist text is a smoking gun that bypasses plausible deniability.
Douglas Elliman is one of the largest real estate brokers in the USA. They terminated the agent, but that doesn't make up for the racism and the indignity the couple faced.
