I know we all want to be hard on crime and arrest the violent black and latino men. I understand that. I get it. But if we do that then who’s going to hit the women?
@xspotsdamark Nothing you said or showed just now proves what you originally said. That they wrote thoughts on it doesn’t say anything about how well it’s going
I’m a landlord and I’m black and this is a totally understandable reaction. Nothing should happen to the realtor, who is not necessarily racist, and nothing should happen to Douglas Elliman
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.
@Mankosmash Idek if that’s true. Even well presenting black ppl are too often one step away from inviting niggas around. You may not dislike the black ppl you see in this situation but be concerned about the kinda ppl they might bring around
BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit, sitting en banc, ruled that immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally can be detained during deportation proceedings without individualized bond hearings, even after living in the country for decades, reversing three orders granting their release.
We all found out this week that the federal government doesn't actually vet immigrants for citizenship and missed things like a false birthdate, or false citizenship status of a parent.
That's a far bigger story.
