I step out into my community every day and get along splendidly with Mexicans and blacks, and I see most every one else doing the same. Then, I watch the news and realize my perception’s off; it’s really bad out there, really bad.

The multi colored fan is more disturbing than that confederate flag.

A flag like that, tucked away in the corner like that, does not a klansman make. I’m going to go out an a limb and say the homeowners are just classic redneck.

They never did nobody no harm.



How hard was this black guy looking.

Sounds like it may have been his fathers property.

FWIW, I read an article earlier today (can’t find it now) that had the alleged cell phone pic of the item in question. It was a nicely famed old document. Looked to be from maybe the 1940’s or 1950’s based on the way it was laid out. TBH it was really cool looking, it had a portion at the bottom right the applicant was supposed to cut off and mail in with their application payment. Stuff like that. If I found one like it, I would frame it and hang it up. It is about as offensive as a Robert E Lee statue. It’s obviously an antique / historical interest.

Hell, I have a black friend in Baton Rouge who has some old school framed photographs of a KKK Rally hanging in his house. Not for racist rantings but because they are cool old photos and he loves when new people come over and see them hanging there. We laugh about it.

Everyone knows the Klan moved to online applications in 1997.

It was a blank one in a frame. Probably worth a ton of $, especially 20 yrs from now

Its on realtor.com and the rebel flag is a very small one in the garage over a tool box and as long as he did not fill the thing out who cares if he has an application.

Local news also has the story. Black dude told the realtor hell no on this house.

Smart move in that situation? Make a full price offer. If the seller turns it down, he still has to pay the commission.

So the guy either has to sell to a black buyer or cut a large check to his agent for nothing.

240+ are federal agents.



And while I don't believe this story for a second it is fun to imagine the rejection letters to those who don't make the cut.

Alternate theory...

Owner dosen't want to sell to blacks because of his neighbors.

Stages that shite to queer the deal.

The problem is, I can predict for you how 100% of conversations you'd have with the folks responding on the root would go in person.

You - Um, that's absurd. There is pretty much a zero chance that an entire community agreed to "keep blacks out" when selling.


Them - "Are you denying racism exists!!!!"


You - "No, I am not"


Them - Well of course you are. Otherwise, you'd know it was commonplace for this to happen


You - I've seen no evidence anywhere that this is true


Them - "Typical cracker, thinks racism is over".

They will simply use the "racism exists, therefore all accusations of racism are true" form of logic.


You'll never get around it
