Hello parrot.
Can you tell us why it would make a difference?

When the righties fail they always, without question, resort to name calling. At any rate, do I really need to spell it out for you? You can't comprehend the difference between a private residence and a business whose sole purpose is to serve the public? You really can't make that distinction on your own???

Fair Housing Centers take this sort of claim very seriously and more often than not, the complainant is usually believed over the landlord.
Agree.


On your other topic...That salesman was a moron and had no business asking how much you got on your tax refund. You shouldn't have had to explain to him that you don't receive refunds and it didn't matter if other customers were dumb enough to talk to him about their refund. If it happened to me, I wouldn't have been offended but it definitely would have p*ssed me off.

Do I have to spell it out to you. There is no legitimate reason a man should lose his natural rights when he hangs up a business sign except in rare cases. How obtuse are you?

Someone will not provide you a good or service go elsewhere. I'd make an exception if a private ambulance service shows up. There government needs to insure no discrimination.

Your primitive beliefs do not determine the laws of our land, fortunately.
The RV park is private property, therefore he can evict who he wants for what ever reason. I'm not saying I agree, but it is part of the constitution and is there to protect private home/property owners.

So it's ok if someone comes into your home uninvited?

Too bad something like that happened to this couple. I would seek legal counsel from the NAACP. They probably are already looking into this for them.
Sorry, NAACP has no jurisdiction here, it is privately owned.

Good thinking, maybe they were misbehaving.

Frankly, they should be glad to get away from the 'neck crowd anyway.
Well, I agree with this, why would you want to be where you are not wanted, nothing but headaches.

One time two black families on separate lots were evicted at the same time. They too claimed racism. Manager had a long list of infractions, written warnings, and lastly their sons of the two families were caught vandalizing homes and committing acts of theft.

But when I read the story I agree this guy is a jerk and the couple should be thankful to not have to deal with him ever again.
I agree and all is not racism, some use it as an excuse to act like Jackasses.
