After reading about the case, I believe there was racism toward the Black investors. It's specifically illegal to exclude a purchaser due to their race.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 11:34 amLet’s take white people out of the equation for a second and take a look at some real life racism debated in a courtroom…
What do you think about this story?

Do you think racism was perpetrated against a Black Family because they were not able to buy a home based on what race they are, or would racism be perpetrated against the Asian families if they were not given the option of only selling properties to Asian families?

But in practice they don't. That's why we had affirmative action for minorities in the first place. I'm all for helping anyone who needs it regardless of race religion S*x or creed. I'm just skeptical if it will really work out that way.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 9:57 amI am not speaking “for” anyone.Della wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 9:44 amAre you speaking for Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, etc?Slimshandy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 9:38 am
Dude… Is there going to be any real conversation on this, or is this going to another day of you guys just nitpicking everything I say while attempting to be condescending…
I’ve only got time for one kind of conversation today…
Neither are the courts that made this decision…
It’s a comment on how American laws should work.

I think Black people and people of color in general have been and still are disadvantaged compared to White people. I see assistance as necessary.

I would definitely vote for more oversights to make sure that no kind of racism happens. And if it’s shown that racism was a reason someone was held back from an opportunity, they should be able to sue and win lots of money.Pjmm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 12:58 pmBut in practice they don't.
