If they own a million dollar home I don't think they have a wealth problem.

And today we learned what CE would pick if forced to choose between disliking racism or disliking wealthy people.

TC, that website you're using is garbage. Not only do they prevent you from reading the article unless you subscribe, but that "new" story is from February.

https://abc7news.com/black-homeowner-problems-sf-bay-area-housing-discrimination-minority-homeownership-anti-black-policy/10331076/

That said, yeah, it definitely shows a larger issue if a house has less value, simply because the owners aren't white. Hopefully that doesn't happen, unchecked, on a large scale.

I'm not sure how you'd prove racial bias unless you can show a history of similar cases for that particular firm. Home evaluation seems very much like a judgement call industry. 500k difference is a bit much, though.

No, but personally I really couldn't care less for wealthy people and their unique problems like this, and am tired of being guilt shamed for for thinking such.

Seems fairly hard to legally prove without having multiple parties being part of the lawsuit. If they don't have some definite proof, might be just hoping for a settlement offer from the firm just to avoid dragging it out for bad publicity.

their unique problems
Researchers at the Brookings Institution have found that owner-occupied homes in majority-Black U.S. neighborhoods are undervalued by an average $48,000 per home, representing some $156 billion in cumulative losses

Probably should stop talking while that hole isn't that deep yet

This may shock you, but not everybody owns a home. With most of us are more worried about simply affording one at all in a timely.

So no, I don't really care about the issues at all in regards to selling them.

The point you continue to miss while talking out of your ass, because you want the pity party for yourself instead of homeowners getting screwed by racism, is that it's not a problem unique to wealthy black people

And if you want to make some retort about having to be wealthy to get a home in the first place because this article is about a Bay Area couple, just save everybody the stupidity and don't if ya don't mind

They don't think of black people as the same kind of people as themselves or possibly even as people at all.

You may just be a victim of your own choices. Because you've mad poor fiscal decisions in your life doesn't mean you should just be like "Systemic racism? Good...Fuck em"
Can't help not being born just a decade sooner to have hopped onto the housing crash sadly.

And not caring about certain people's plight do not mean you're happy for it.
