  • Why can’t we keep these companies accountable for this? This is beyond despicable
  • @endor8witch
    they're both rich and highly educated. this shows racism and discrimination is not only towards the low income black community. it's shocking how much fo a difference the value is

    When selling our first home, my (White) agent told me to remove all family photos. I asked, why? She looked at me and said: “There’s a lot of racist buyers out there” I wasn’t angry, I actually appreciated her honesty. Also, my town wasn’t very inviting. My house sold with one showing, multiple offers. I can definitely relate. Sad, but true.

    Imagine all of the wealth that has been lost and stolen over the last hundred years because of this type of behavior… in many industries.

    Fighting discrimination and fighting cancer at the same time. I can’t imagine. Praying the trial treatment is effective for her. Beautiful couple.
  • Cannot deny this behavior happens. Makes me sick, and appraisal companies guilty of this should be shut down period.
  • So sad that this kind of thing happens in this day and age. My heart goes out to you guys.

    What a beautiful, strong, connected couple! Just watching them and how they know how to pick up when their spouse is finished statement and when to lend a hand. THIS is a model BLACK POWER COUPLE! I commend them for their strength and resilience! Thanks for giving young couples people to look up to! I pray this gets fixed soon and God bless the wife!
  • @CCGem
    And for those who say race bias and racism doesn't exist, this is just one highlighted examples. This couple is brave to show us.
  • You can see the fear and love in this man's eyes as his wife talks about her health. Best wishes for the family. Sending love ❤️
  • @BET0187
    My parents went through this it’s so sad and heart breaking
  • @SM12457
    This has to stop. Discrimination against any race is a serious moral offence and people need to understand basic human ethics in life.
  • My next neighbor asked if we could help her get a quote for a new roof because roofing companies were quoting high prices. Once we did we could see that the prices these companies were quoting her and her husband were out of the world in Florida. We were not only shocked but insisted if they needed our help for any other quotes to let us know so we could help get them a lower price. This is completely unfair treatment by these companies.
  • This is why the online application process has been beneficial to me. Countless times the credit score, yearly income, and every other qualifying criteria has been on point. Then when my wife and I walk into the office to finalize, the shock of seeing that we are Black is very, very real. Too late to discriminate. We’ve already been approved. Sometimes they’re so flustered that they will actually comment that they are really surprised that we qualify for some much. I wonder how many white folk they say that to??? Probably zero!!!!

    Apparently Shani Mott passed away today (a friend sent me a text about it). I did not know them at all (though there is a sort of six degrees of separation between myself and her husband (we share an advisor)) but I pray for peace for their entire family.
  • @jennifer9528
    What a beautiful couple! What a horrible crime done to them! Infuriating and shameful. I hope they get justice.
  • @wo0o0o0ho0o0
    “Jump to the conclusion” came off as offensive. These people don’t seem like the type to come to a conclusion unless they thought it out. They present as reasonable people.
  • @kszn7848
    Wow. How disgusting that you and your household were treated like this. Prayers for good health to you all.
  • @Ljm-hp9pu
    This is just sad for America and black people, in general.
  • what a beautiful couple. I’m so sorry and sad they had to go thru this 😞
