JUST LIKE 400 YEARS AGO. AMERICA , A VERY RACIST COUNTRY.. White power structures in America replaced SLAVERY with in your face racism, police brutality, in housing, banking, job, health, in all works of life. It is really sad.
Yet systemic racism doesn’t exist
What I don't get is how does the appraiser think they could get away with it, especially with so much focus on racism..People know what the homes are going for in the neighborhood. It makes no sense. I'm skeptical of this story. Sorry.
I am sorry but this is just bad journalism.
Racism is being based on a sample size of 2 appraisals. Maybe if they did 10 as black, 10 as white and averaged each they could make this argument. How foolish…
This is Amerikkka
That house is beautiful no way
If you want REAL change, vote for your local government 🤷♀️ KNOW who you're voting for and what they stand for… if I haven't seen you in AND around my community, Ya won't get my vote.
Let them tell it there are no disparities to speak of here in this country. “They just need to work harder” they say. America.
I’m about to change my name to Joseph White on my resume. I’m tired of not getting jobs that I’m clearly qualified for. Racism is very real. These people are doctors, and they’re getting denied by Joe Schmoes that barely finished high school and took few courses to become certified🤡
What a beautiful couple! What a horrible crime done to them! Infuriating and shameful. I hope they get justice.
Aaahh, another episode of racism in America. 😀How touching…now u know they don’t want us having anything. Always remember that. They want u broke, poor, with nothing. K sera sera 😂…
So the “experiment” was that they did it once with a randomly selected appraiser, then they did stuff and repeated it with another randomly selected appraiser, and the value went up? I guess racism is one explanation, but there are others too
Blessings to the couple. Hope the trial treatment works well for you.💖
Seek also alternative treatments.
SMH 🤦🏽♀️
They always have a person of color cover racial situations
Facebook: walking in the spirit: Set your day by the words you say
what a beautiful couple. I’m so sorry and sad they had to go thru this 😞
Well we are screwed our name will give out who we are. Are we really in the 21 century???
A scam probably. The appraiser would have buyers to buy cheap and pass on a big payment to him. So, yes, racist and a scam.
It is very common to even get an apartment to rent in the good neighbourhoods in Europe too? Even when you have all the requirements. We needed to move because our then home had dampness and I was getting Asthmatic attacks. It is so sad because some one has to remind you that you are of a darker skin tone more so if I can't see myself 😩
The whole market is crashing take 90% off your price and you’ll get it sold lol There is no discrimination believe me if they could get to your price they would but in case you haven’t noticed it’s crashing everywhere worldwide real estate coming down quickly very fast
I don't believe this race thing. If the appraiser is an "out of area appraiser", then they don't have access to the same info as local area appraisers. I was in that business and I've seen lower appraisals come in all the time with white people. We just called for another appraiser, got comps from a local seasoned realtor, and gave those comps to the appraiser when they showed up, which they would then use along with their own data. Additionally a 30 year mortgage can still be paid off in 15 years, by just adding the amount EACH MONTH of what a 15 year mortgage payment would be. Very simple.
This dude is a Prof from one of the world most famous instituition and got his own wikipedia page and still got discriminated…just wow Ameriaca.
Good old America…. Racist as ever .

Man don’t give up the game! I wouldn’t had even answered that question
This is a highly educated couple who is calmly denouncing this unacceptable situation. Imagine millions who are victim without the means to fight and without a voice
tell them the fact!!!!!!!!!!! how the world is !!!!!!
Whyt folks are the phucking DEVIL!!!!!Nobidys racist but there is redlining, appraiser reduction, loan denials but this is The AMERIKKKKAN WAy!!!! Lie , Lie,Lie and deny and then say we are making progress! NOT!!!!
Sue the phuck out of the appraiser, personally and the company!!!!!
Shame on you parents for pushing this racist narrative! If you believe this you are forever going to be a victim. Your kids don’t deserve the indoctrination.
You sure It wasn't just different companies
THIS POLICY HAS BEEN AROUND FOREVER….TIME TO SUE…."THE BLACK VETERAN FOR JUSTICE".
REALLY, WAKE UP…..U ARE BLACK….HAVE U BEEN LIVING IN FANTASYLAND. "THE BLACK VETERAN FOR JUSTICE".
I would never buy a house then if I don't pay taxes they take it obviously it ain't yours
This a damnable shame…GOD bless this family and remove that tumor and restore Shani's health in Your Mighty Name Jesus I pray, Amen🙏
Or maybe, not saying it's the case, that prices did increase by another 300k. Or maybe the second appraiser was basing it on pandemic pricing, and the first on wasn't.
Also what you spend on renovations, does not mean that you will always get that money back.
Spending 5k on a tank water heater, will not increase the price of the house. Not even by 1 dollar.
Sending love to this wonderful couple. All the best for a successful case. My profound sympathy for your illness and wishing you a speedy recovery and long life of continuous love and happiness. God bless ❤
This is just wild!
This is not news this is the standard in every market since we could buy houses here tf
America shows herself every day in every way what & who she is. We gone believe her one day and in that day we gone be able to start holding her accountable.
As racist as a Latino Los Angeles Council member?
class action suit please…..this practice is systemic….
