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’re kidding, right?

My story was SO outrageously stereotypical and paralleled the subject matter posted - it HAS to be impossible for anyone not to be able to detect it as parody.

I’m wondering if you thought “This is Spinal Tap” was about a real heavy metal band? Or if “Airplane” was a documentary?

...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.

Break it down:

White: Caucasian, by accident of birth, out of my control.

Nationalist: Lover of my country, honoring its flag.

Doesn't sound so evil now!

Disregard his opinions.
He’s gets triggered at everything.
And, he’s a purveyor of fear-porn; a Fearbro.

Then maybe you should turn off the TV news. It’s polluting your mind.

This is the type of person who will approve loading all Trump voters into boxcars to the FEMA site.

...which is why 1A and 2A will forever matter.

Holy crap, this dimwit is an Ivy Leauger (Brown University, working at their Annenberg Institute:

"My research is in applied microeconomics with a focus on labor economics, education economics, and health economics. My dissertation addresses topics such as school choice, teacher demand, and student non-cognitive skills."

Let's form a new category, to go along with the leaders of BLM.

COCs "Commies of Color"

Soon there will be the Trump Lawn Sign Defense. A smart attorney will excuse a savage from murdering some random Whitey who had a Trump Lawn Sign, claiming that the sign made the murderer feel unsafe.

As absurd as that sounds on the surface, it is the logical extension of their thinking and of how this is progressing.

Persons this deranged have to be considered to be potentially dangerous. It's only prudent.

Sounds like in her case PHD stands for ‘Prima Hysterical Dona’. I wonder if she got her degree from the same place as AOC.

This female has a PHD?

A perfect example of PILED HIGH & DEEP.

She needs a 51-50 test & possible containment in a mental facility.

PHD Don’t mean a L O T anymore.
In many cases it stands for BS Piled Higher & Deeper.
