    The NO HATE Act was introduced this week to strengthen federal laws against hate crimes. As of today, there are no Republican co-sponsors (hmmm, wonder why). If this story upsets you, you know what to do.

      And yet I bet many are in favor of ridiculous Blue Lives Matter legislation.

    1) That couldn’t be racism! It’s in the North!/s.

    2) JFC.

    3) Maybe check out the white kids and drop outs from the local high school. Because they did it.

      Most likely. It’s been a while since I’ve heard of adult homeowners doing this type of thing to “protect property values”.

      When I was looking for my first home, we had found some listings that looked really good in our price range. Realtor said “you don’t want to move there”, but couldn’t tell us why. So, instead he and I were driving around and he showed me that town. It was divided roughly in three.

      One part was a Jewish community centered around a conservative temple. One of those neighborhoods with the wire hung around it. This was the most expensive area as apparently membership in this temple was highly desirable and you had to be able to walk there on the Sabbath.

      The second part of the town was low income white and was centered around a horse stable. The area stunk and there was permanent horse manure on the main road between the stables and the park where they went riding.

      The third part was a beautiful neighborhood with well maintained houses, perfectly manicured lawns, etc. This was where three of the listings we had found were. I asked why he thought this was not an area for us. He looked at his watch and said “Give it a minute.” Almost simultaneously a whole lot of people came home at the same time. It was Sunday. It was a middle class black neighborhood and everyone was in their Sunday best coming home from Church.

      The black neighborhood had lower property values than the white neighborhood next to a horse stable.

      Yes, the real estate market is racist and “lowering property values” is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      I had a realtor refuse to show me homes in a certain part of town. I kept asking why he wouldn’t show them to me...he said “Theres a LOT of Latinos and Asians over there. You wouldn’t like it.” When I asked him how he would think I would even judge a neighborhood on that he responded, “They usually like to live near their kind.” Needless to say that was our last conversation.

    Well, somebody (who lives very close and watches the house) showed these uppity negroes to think twice about having their dream house built arbitrarily near them. I mean, they were clearly asking for it with their loud complete family unit and constant altruism inside the home.

    Jeez, evil white people... what kind of black folks DO you like? What does it take for y’all to leave us alone? Dumb hate certainly isn’t doing it.

      It’s pretty well proven white people like dead black people. They love MLK now that he is dead, they reward each other for killing black children (ie Darren Wilson).

      If President Obama - that’s Harvard with an “H”, y’all – with his fly suits and his double Ivy lawyer wife who loved healthy eating and raised a garden big enough for the Food Network to eat out of, and his running the country and getting it out of a federal crisis eight BANKS had pushed it into, and his clean energy business case writing as he was leaving office, wasn’t going to make them happy?

    This is a nasty story, but there is (at least) one white knight (so to speak):

    are ready to move to another community, said Naresh Uppal, whose company, Advanced Home Inc., built the house Uppal’s company, will buy the home back from the Douglases as they work toward a new start. (emphasis mine)

    Assuming that this can be taken at face value, that is really decent of the developer.

      Yeah, I was hoping others noticed that. That kind of stand up behavior is rare in the home building community and I’m warmed to see the home builder muster enough empathy to help these folks out. Good on him.

    Having your home broken into just on it’s own is an incredibly violated feeling. Having death threats on top of that? Of course they would move. How could they ever sleep peacefully again? If you can’t feel safe and comfortable in your own family home, where could you feel safe?

    Are empathy and humanity just figments of our imagination? Are there enough little girls giving up their birthdays to counteract this? And isn’t it unfair for all of us to put correcting an entire culture on people currently wearing light up sneakers? I know that wasn’t the point of that story yesterday. I’m making sweeping generalizations.

    (Sorry for all the despairing questions. With the EPA and USDA cuts, virtually everyone here has a pretty good chance to lose our jobs. I’m just panicky and depressed.)

    This is as it should be. I wish the other family lived in a community as ready to condemn this shit as this one was, because awful things happen to your neighbor, this is what you’re supposed to do.

    Thanks, President Hi-C. Your idiocy may actually bring us together as a nation yet. I mean it’ll be in solidarity against you but you’re a big boy.

    With tiny hands.

    I couldn’t help myself.

    I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and side eye the developer who was quick to buy back the house while being so kind as to move them into another house in a more “diverse” neigbhorhood. Chances are he probably paid them less than they paid him to have it built and when he re-sells it to some nice white folks I’m sure he will charge double what he spent.
