That may be true but there are some pockets in this country (judging from this forum) that they could actually pull it off with no negative repercussion
I don't doubt that. I know there are probably also pockets in this country where white people would have difficulty getting service in some establishments. I'm not suggesting it's good, or right...but we have to take the bad with the good. Free market capitalism has a lot of benefits, along with some bad.
Just demand a credit report and criminal background check. If they pass and they appear to be more of a Bill Cosby type (aka "U-T" to racist progressives), then rent to them.
LOL @ "more of a Bill Cosby type."
That's funny. Do you really think that a black person is going to show up looking for a place to rent in their Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver costumes?
All people are dichotomous when need be. There is a side of me that can show up to a job interview in my best Bill Cosby iteration and you'd never be the wiser. But when i need to flip, i'll flip. You're judgment is pretty questionable on this one.
In any case, i understand your overriding point. But i disagree.
If any establishment that is getting ANY tax breaks or services from the government whatsoever should not be allowed to pick and choose who they will provide service for. So if the place burns down or gets robbed or vandalized......oh well tooo bad.
That is a point I did not think about. When an openly racist business catches a fire and the only firemen at that moment are black...then they should not get inside the building and rescue people. The same with black medical people in case of an emergency. Or black police men. If I was black and saw that sign, I would not help.
Unfortunately, Herman Cain is hedging his bets and going with the neo-progs on this one, though I doubt he would support the idea of frivilous "racism" among private homeowners being choosey about their tenant.

Then, let us just wait until the whites here are a minority and see if the tune changes.
Meh, you call it staying under a rock, I call it not being stupid and openly declaring you won't rent to thugs or white trash.
When they cringe at the light, I can't help but enjoy the moment. White trash or not. Besides, why do you assume that trash comes only in one color?
