Sounds like a Queer Tina, does it not?

Because owners have had experience and don’t want their place trashed, don’t want to be cheated on rent, and don’t want drug dealing in their property.

There are strong African names also, if they want to go that route. I have friends named Kunta, and Kargbo, Koroma, etc. Strong African names with history behind them. But that name is made from a sound a pregnant woman makes. Look up he word quirt in the Urban Dictionary.

What the h&&L is strong about that?

Just look at the sample “black” and “white” inquiry notes sent out—the black one was illiterate and demanding, the white one was polite and educated in tone.

Then they got differing responses and cried racism.

All you decent black folks out there can place the blame where it truly belongs; on the prior behavior of folks who just happen to look like you.

My kids and their friends went out of town last week and rented an airbnb house advertised as having five beds.

Five beds, yes. But three of them were children’s size beds with kids blankets. There were some funny stories.

First, can anyone blame the property owners for not wanting Shartiqua and Shitavious renting there?

Two, 23 year old business consultant? Yeah right.
