    You obviously don’t know white people.

    When I was buying my house, I came for a tour of the home, as you do when purchasing a home.

    Within three minutes of us showing up, walking in with the realtor, the police were outside the house. Not one car though. Three cars, the house was surrounded.

    On top of that, it’s clear that we were looking to buy the house because of the big for sale sign in the front. And even clearer the fact that it was me, my wife, our three-year-old son, my brother-in-law, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and the realtor.

    Evidently the next door neighbor decided to call the police when they saw us because they thought we were robbing the place.

    Who the fuck robs an empty house with six adults and a baby?

    Let’s just say, I wasn’t surprised when they put up Trump signs.

    Rich white people are afraid of anything outside of their “control”.

      I grew up in Santa Fe, NM working as a handyman in Hyde Park and El Dorado and Trés Lagunas and all the “non-native” rich, white areas. After my divorce, i ended up in Cali as a stagehand working for Disney. This statement literally sums up my entire life’s professional experience.
