2. You basically answered your own question (bolded).

3. It’s not “neighborly” to BARGE into something that isn’t yours uninvited.

4. I’m happy that you and I have different ideas of what being neighborly is.

1. The neighbors didn't know they were paying guests. Did you read the article, or were you too busy digging the race card out of your pocket?
2. You just contradicted yourself. Or you don't know what an interloper is.

3. Nobody said it was. Read.

4. I'm happy we do to, especially since you seem to be quite proud of not caring about your neighbors. Not sure when being selfish became a desirable characteristic.

The couple admitted to knowing that it’s an AirBNB rental.

You folks just keep skipping over that point.

And that’s only what’s been reported.

1. Yeah...DUUUUUH Sherlock. If you don’t know, then call the cops. You don’t just barge into an AirBNB property.

2. They KNEW it was an AirBNB.

3. Again, paying guests aren’t interlopers. You obviously don’t know yourself what that word means.

I'd be seriously pissed if my neighbors saw people in my home when I was away and did nothing. I guess we have different ideas about what being neighborly means.
She said that she knows the owner of the house, why didn't she call them? Makes more sense than to walk into who knows what situation.

Nice. Don’t knock, just come on in and investigate. Gotta love it.

What really cracks me up is the arrogance of the wife...hands on her hips and all; talking to the guy as if he’s her child while maintaining her quite materialistic, Boss Momma posture over him. LMAO...shocked that she didn’t say “why are you here boy?”

Did they have a megaphone and demand a white power fist pump before they'd leave?

It doesn't say that in the article. Stop making crap up to fit your agenda.

2. READ. THE. ARTICLE. You posted the link, at least read it. They did not know it was an AirBNB. They knew that it was for sale. Two very different things.
3. Again, until they found out - after entering the house - that they were paying guests, they were, in fact, interlopers.

Actually, the video did show them admitting they knew it was, but they thought they had stopped renting it out on AirBnB.

Bottom line is, these folks were wrong to just walk in. If they were nervous about someone messing around in a house that was unoccupied they should have called the cops, or even rang the doorbell. You don't open a door and walk in.

They were wrong.

Having said that, I saw nothing to suggest that it was a racial issue.

Agree. In fact, I said in my first post that I wouldn't have barged in. Calling the owner or the police would have been a much better approach. None of which is the real issue. The real issue is why anyone would immediately assume racism was afoot when a neighbor thought it was odd that strangers were in the house.
