I bet you're right. I'd be interested to know if the black couple were actually in the market to buy a house. It sounds like they heard about the curmudgeonly old fart with a racist bent and decided to try and make a quick buck.
I don't even think he's racist.
I think he's probably being honest to a fault and he's financially strapped and not very knowledgeable about contract law. Which means he's like 90% of working class people.
I'm not familiar with the property values where the Pitts live but in my neighborhood they're house is $1.5 Million on the low side.
His house has mock brick duroid shingles on the side of it and a chain link garden fence!!!!
His front yard is 10 ft deep and theirs has room to build a guest house and a double wide driveway!!! The miracle is they don't even see the incongruity.
Where's the law that says rich black people are less venal and self interested than rich white people.
I think the guy is being beaten with two clubs, class and race. Unfortunately he's on the wrong side of both.
If I heard that some guy was not selling to Jews, I'd do the same thing. Not because I wanted to make money, but because I'd want to piss him off. I can't believe you guys are taking his side.
