This thread has been a roller coaster, I don't think anyone was arguing the same things

Did somebody let go of his rope right after saying "Having Trump as president means I don't have to give a shite about your head hitting the floor?" Because if they had then you might be able to make a case for his brand of politics being partially responsible. If nobody did that to the stunt man then maybe you should shut the frick up and quit making stupid comparisons.

She can be a racist all she wants but she cannot discriminate when it comes to housing based on race. There have been laws on this for quite some time now. This is no different than an apartment or hotel refusing to rent to anyone unless they are white. I don't give a shite if you own it or not. You can't do that.

Why should you be able to tell me what to do with my own private housing?


It's no longer private when you commercialize it by putting it up as a condo basically.

Yes she can. It is different. Laws have not caught up to the short-term rental phenomenon. They are still considered personal property under federal laws, and state laws. But what California has done, is try to supersede that through their civil rights department.

And in regards to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, these state "civil rights" agencies are an outrage, and need to be settled once and for all by the SCOTUS.

Holy fricking shite. Are you huffing paint? How did you not recognize that his comment was facetious?

I see there was "reportedly" a text. Was it ever produced?

She absolutely should have that right though. If AirBnb wants to kick her from renting through them that's fine. I take issue with the government forcing people to do things against their will when there is no tangible harm.

Her property. Racism is not illegal.


Business are not allowed to racially discriminate. If this weren't an Airbnb situation, the fine probably would've been higher.

I knew he was being facetious about Trump being responsible for the stunt man getting inured. He was not, however, being facetious about calling people ridiculous for putting some blame on Trump for this woman's treatment of a potential Asian renter, and that's what I was responding to with my own facetious post.

I thought it was pretty obvious. Are you sniffing glue?

I just reread it and I don't buy that your post was in jest. Sorry.

Once she makes it an Airbnb, it does become a pubic establishment. It's not someone letting a friend stay their. It's a business transaction at that point. Once she goes to rent, it becomes a pubic business.

“She [Barker] said ‘This is why we have Trump, we can’t have foreigners tell us what to do’ she said that to me. I’m an American citizen, this is my home, I’ve been here since I was three years old,” Suh said.


I'm willing to bet that a lot of people that see this don't give a damn about the actions of the woman, instead they see President Trump mentioned and that's what upsets them.
Some of the same people that said those blaming President Obama for violence against cops were foolish and irresponsible are now the same ones doing it to President Trump. Hypocrites everywhere.

What a terrible argument. Using this argument, the guy who shot Scalise should be lain at the feet of Bernie Sanders.
