Trump Supporter Showing Her True Colors

[wolfriverjoe 1,523]

Well, yet again, a racist idiot goes and does something stupid and illegal.

And, yet again, cites Trump.

Fortunately, she paid a price for her behavior ($5k in this case).

Racial discrimination is illegal.

Providing the proof via text messages that it was just that is stupid.

The only group against whom you can legally discriminate is White European Americans. Of course it's not really discrimination, since they deserve it.

Tami Barker should be very glad that this did not happen in Oregon. Her fine would be about $130,000.00 more.

You forgot male -- damn, get with the program! The white male is the most discriminated-against person! Think of the disadvantages he's under!

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

The problem with the posts you make when you get bored and decide to start trolling is that they're so obvious. A bit more subtlety might get you more engagement/entertainment.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The transcripts I read, easily found with a little google-fu and considerably more revealing than the screen snippets being waved around in the media, indicate there was a lot more going on between the two parties. Specifically adding two more people, then a puppy, then another puppy, then a few other minor concerns.

True. There was more to it than just the racial issues.

But that doesn't change the fact that Barker texted:

Quote

"[...] I wouldn't rent to u if u were the last person on earth"

"One word says it all. Asian"
"it's why we have Trump"
"And I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners." 

Regardless of how it got there, it got there.

Thanks for shining a sliver of light on the issue. Beginning to look like one can believe nothing unless one has personal experience and is personally involved deeply in an issue being critiqued. Possibly as it should be.

Yep. And had the owner stopped there, this would not have been an issue.

Very good reason why people shouldn't have involved conversations via text message.

E-mail would have been better?

If she was stupid enough to put that sort of crap in a medium that is permanent, then she deserves the penalty.
Although, if it had happened in a conversation (either over the phone or in person) it still would have been discrimination, illegal and punishable. Just not really provable.

If the landlord had said something like:

"You are changing way too much here. The original deal was 2 people. No dogs. Either stick to that or the deal is off"

Then there would have been no problem.

Edit to add:

And an aggressive dog in a place that rents to people with the ad saying "Dogs considered" is really dumb. Either socialize the dog properly so that it doesn't "eat" other dogs, don't allow tenants to bring dogs, or get rid of the dog.
If the landlord's dog was to attack a tenant's dog (or even simply a dog walking past on the sidewalk) there would be serious consequences. The fact that the landlord was already aware of the behavior would make it worse.

Your right...its so disheartening to be a white male. I blame my parents who blame my grand parents....but I don't feel any guilt, every time I look in the mirror there is this White Guy looking back at me, the Bastard...why does he have it so good.

I take it more as "very good reason why people shouldn't be racist jerks." Email would have been no better, and saying it in person would not have made it any more odious (although it would have been easier to lie about later.)

[wmw999 2,447]

Sounds like the owner basically wrote about the only thing that could put her in the wrong instead of the right in this situation.
Sometimes it's good that you can't fix stupid.
