Woman immediately terrified for her life and family’s safety after seeing Trump yard signs at Airbnb rental

We normally don’t write about random people on Twitter, but Dr. Bueno here has been getting ratio’d all day now and has only added to her thread, so we don’t think she’s concerned about the comments.

In short, she wants a refund or voucher from Airbnb because her rental in Maine was in view of Trump yard signs and other white nationalist symbols, which she later explains could include the American flag. These made her immediately terrified for her life, and she wants Airbnb to understand the trauma Trump signs cause a black person.

Disappointed @airBnb doesn’t understand the trauma of TRUMP signs on a @airbnb rental causes Black person

My husband rented a place in Maine and when we arrived in the evening we saw Trump yard signs and other white nationalist symbols. I immediately was terrified and scared for my life and family safety

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

We left and @Airbnb says they cant do anything. Prime example how white companies make a BLM statement but when Black person tells them they didnt feel safe they do nothing

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

If they want to be racist they need to post a complete picture so BIPOC know not to stay there. We need a greenbook for @Airbnb where we know we are safe

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

I shouldnt have to pay to stay at a place i dont feel safe and @AirbnbHelp at minimum should give me a full refund/voucher for all the trauma this experience has caused

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

@Airbnb has a discrimination statement but its only words no action. What about believing a black person and making them retell a traumatizing experience. Do better

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

What “symbols of hate,” you might ask?

This experience shows that people are unaware of signs and symbols used. Top symbols that invoke fear for Black people …list below https://t.co/wXubFseobg

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

1 KKK symbols and flags 2 confederate flags and symbols

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

3 police lights /blue lives matter flag 4 trump signs and white terrorism slogans

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

5 USA Flag – yes this is a symbol used in many places to scare Black people

— Cary Bueno, Ph.D (@CarycruzBueno) September 24, 2020

That’s quite a list … which of those fear-invoking symbols did she see in Maine, aside from the Trump yard signs? Did a police car go by with its lights flashing? Did someone in Maine have a Confederate flag? Were the neighbors wearing Klan robes? Pictures would really help us understand.

Wait, this is serious? https://t.co/Kg8zQ13FSz

Is this real?

— Scott Morefield (@SKMorefield) September 24, 2020

Did you take pictures? What other white nationalist symbols were there? We need proof.

You need professional help.

I went to a McDonalds this morning.

There were POC there with their pants sagging and showing underwear. Obviously gang.

And they were flashing gang signs. Well, they had fingers on their hands, I’m pretty sure.

And I think I heard one of them say, “Bro” or “Man”.

So I immediately asked the clerk behind the counter if they could do something to combat this extreme racism!!!

Oh, and also asked for my money back (and a free McMuffin) to help me overcome my triggeredness.

And they have the nerve to call their offerings catering to kids “Happy” meals.

Boy, a ‘PhD’ (Piled higher & Deeper) hardly gets one anything these days! Wonder what ‘artsey/sciency’ field it is in? Suggest vaca in PRC, pretty sure no Trump signs there!

So we can see of whom we speak;

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Annenberg Insitute at Brown University. My dissertation addresses topics such as school choice, teacher demand, and student non-cognitive skills.

“she wants Airbnb to understand the trauma Trump signs cause a black person.”

I understand the trauma that Trump signs cause a despicable, depraved, degenerate, turncoat scumbag.

Now hear this: all leftwad buckets of dog crap report to the nearest port city for deportation.

That means you, Bueno.

I can sympathize with her. If I am driving in a strange city and end up on MARTIN LUTHER KING BLVD I become fearful for my life and find the quickest way out. /s

OT.. I just watched an interview of Bo Derek on the Hallmark show ‘Home & Family’. Nice interview until she was asked about her choice of wearing cornrows in the movie ‘10’. She said she loved how beautiful cornrows looked on people in her neighborhood, so she had it done. The movie director thought it was great and approved her wearing the hairstyle in the movie. Well, she actually apologized for it saying she would Never be so insensitive as to appropriate like that today. These people are nuts. What ever happened to imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

When I was in high school I was once seated in a McDonalds waiting for the afternoon bus to take me home after football practice. My friend, a large black kid, was sitting with me. He was wearing a full length leather coat.

By all accounts, he was a good looking guy and the full length coat made him look bad ass.

Two bumpkins from out of town were downtown attending a concert. I heard one of them say to the other—as they pointed at my friend—”Look, he must be a pimp.”

WE had a good laugh at that. This guy ended up going to West Point, doing 10 years in the Army, and another 20 in the reserves, and at the same time doing 25 years as a State Trooper. Hardly a pimp—and probably more of a conservative patriot than many of the people frequenting this site.

I bring that up because your comment about gang membership sounds just as ignorant.

You really need to spend more time around young people in this country. Sure, they dress like fools. But they are not all fools.

There were other things that people were focused on in that movie.

Juxtaposed with hair straightening products galore and wigs for POC. Just go nappy already.

Wait juss one goll-durn minnit!

Don’t the demographics of Maine make it a racist destination for any BIPOC?
I mean, if it is less than 13% Blafrican-American, it must be systemically racist.
Regardless of the below zero winter weather.

My rural area has lots of Trump signs and even Trump flags.

Some of them have “Law and Order” signs as well.

The horror!

;-)

P.S. The last major crime in this area was so long ago that even the oldest of the old timers can’t remember it. Rumor is that there was a murder in the 1800s.
