Putting up a handwritten piece of paper is aggravated harassment?
Hate crime
is discrimination illegal? i think it might be in cases like this. anyone?
“I can do what I want. I live in America,”
Silly woman
It’s ON her property, correct? What’s the problem?
Didn’t all the black politicians in Illinois put up a “Blacks Only” sign over the Senate seat?
Just where in the heck does she think she lives? A free Country?
It’s against state and federal laws to discriminate when renting out rooms.
While it may be her property. The law says she can not refuse to rent to blacks.
Coming soon... The State says churches MUST hire homosexuals.
People are so stupid sometimes. There is a difference in excessive political correctness, and crossing over a line of common decency.
The joke over the water fountain was in very poor taste. The “I rent to whites only” sign was actually probably a violation of the fair housing act.

It’s already happened at my parish in L.A.
That’s what I thought ... this worker pled to a charge that was held to be unconstitutionally vague. I have no problem when law enforcement and prosecutors enforce the law correctly and in the interest of the state. However, prosecutors who deliberately pursue cases based on laws that have been stricken down should be sued.

And the “Fair Housing Act” is Constitutional HOW?
What a quaint, silly notion.
State cops don’t enforce federal law, so says INS anyways.
Also coming soon.....all Doctors must perform abortions.
Is this another one of those "penumbra" and "emanation" things?
The Interstate Commerce Clause.
These police clearly haven’t read the first amendment lately, it was her OWN property, who gives a rip if someone was offended; get over it, if it was city property I could see them taking it down. (I would say the same thing if it were a black person insulting whites, and saying they would only rent to blacks-ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY): Sheesh, since when did having your own opinion become a “crime”. What’s worse is this lady probably doesn’t have the time or money to fight the corrupt police on this..
article says the signs states she rents three bedrooms to whites. i don’t see anything about “whites only”
