Thread: Is This Housing Discrimination?

yeah.... that's the problem with affirmative action and .gov telling private business owners who they have to cater to.

Probably is a racist.... but whatever, I rent an apartment out and won't rent to a black tennant. that's my choice. Racist? who cares, it's not your apartment.

Truthfully though, I'm not renting it out again because ALL renters suck.

There would be some who say that to descriminate on housing, which can be said to be essential to live a happy life, is to infringe on the right to persue happiness.

Also, he did rent her the property, but he then infringed on her privacy using BS excuses with no legitimate reason for his actions other than not liking her race. There are laws on place to protect the renter from unjutisfied harrassment and invasion of privacy from their landlord and if the OP was true, then he was abusing his authority as the landlord.

Who cares if someone owns a property and favors renting to white women over black girls. Or white men over black boys. It's his property, protest and picket the place if it matters that much to you.
