Your points seem right on.

This kind of "iscrimination" is ugly, for the most part. The white many may well be a racist. But it shouldn't be illegal for a man to choose to whom he sells his home.

And it is odd that a rich black couple is so interested in buying this poor man's home. Perhaps they "know" something, and they'll go on to sell it to a developer for $300k. The black couple should have just "let it go," and found another home. They're crybabies. And their attorneys are nasty sharks.

No, they should have just rung up the appropriate alphabet soup gubmint agency and the house would have been theirs in 24 hours, a week tops.

IMO, this lady had a scam goin before she ever approached the old man.

Your kind of comment here has been made over and over on this thread. Yet nothing in the article indicated that the black couple were any richer than the white man. The fact that they have a wealthier looking home has not indicated being wealthier for a good many decades. They most likely are mortgaged to bank on their existing home, and looking at using their equity to purchase a potential rental property, to upgrade their financial situation. People do it all the time. Or are you saying that blacks are to stupid for such improvements.

While I agree that $100,000 seems overly excessive, but they equally should just "let it go," as they spent their time and energy inquiring into an offer to sell, only to find out after the fact, that they were pre-denied because of their race. The only "crybabies" here are those who think a person should be able to back out of an offer to sell, after action has been taken on the offer.

Error in my reply to you. I meant to say:

'...but they equally should not just "let it go,"...'
