Joe,

If you truly believe this to be a case of racism, contact the NAACP as soon as possible. They have investigators on staff who will request separate interviews with you and the realtor, and can assist you in addressing this matter in a legal venue.

And have more than one individual tell him to pound sand? Nah. Easier to come on here and play the victim.

If it's not an open house situation, as others have noted, it's by appointment only. Perhaps nothing more than a poor choice of phrase by the agent, who might instead have said, "I'm sorry, showings are by appointment only, please contact your agent" or something like that.

I also keep thinking of the "Seinfeld" episode focusing on nuance.

What did the person emphasize?

Did he say, "I'm not comfortable showing you the property?"

Or was it, "I'm not comfortable showing you the property?"

Or perhaps, "I'm not comfortable showing you the property?"

If the second, I can see how one might hear racism. Otherwise, I think it's a fair chance it was just a poorly-chosen phrase under the circumstances.

How so? It could mean "I'm not comfortable with YOU, the moron and not necessarily YOU, the black, white, yellow, pink or whatever your skin color is.

Did you actually notice what I wrote?

In that instance, one might be able to hear racism?

One might also be able to hear something else.

I'm not a black man in Texas, and there is still plenty of racism there and all over this country, so I'm deferring to the OP as he was there, heard the inflection, watched the body language, etc.

But if the "YOU" was the emphasis, then the might implies; if not, less likely. That's all my point was.

Again, emphasis on the "might"...

Can't Know,

To be totally complete, I must make an amendment, actually an addition to what the agent said. With time to recollect all of what the agent said to me, I remember the second phrase was slightly different than the first phase.

Thusly:

The agent saw me and said; "I'm not comfortable showing you the property." -This was the first phrase.

Next, the agent said this; "I am not comfortable with you in the property." -This was the second phrase said to me before the door was shut on me.

I was a distance of about 12 to 13 feet, when the agent said these things very clearly to me. I was not crowding, or in any way threatening the agent's 'space'. Remember, I have witnesses to the event.

If you want the property, then have another agent show it to you. Then when you buy it, tell the selling agent:

"I wasn't comfortable paying you full commission, so you'll have to split with my agent." The little k**va might get the message.

Do you need Al Sharpton's office number? It's (212) 690-3070. Have the good taste to not call collect.

It could mean anything. It could mean "I think you are a jerk and I don't want to work with you.".

You resort to personal insults quite often with regards to SRJ because you dislike him. Pretty low of you.

Perhaps so but this time it seems to be accurate.

What's accurate? Sharpton's phone number?

He is trolling. He often plays the victim. From what he has disclosed here he obviously has nothing to stand on. He is seeking council for being insulted? You have to be kidding me.

Since you were not there you have no idea if he has something or "nothing" to stand on. You can guess or opine but making a blanket statement like that is inaccurate.


IDGAF what he is doing- you are not forced to read his threads. Insulting him because you don't like him is lowering yourself to the same level of people you ridicule.

David, when do you think that he realized that you are on a higher level than the people that you allegedly ridicule?
