How many black people live in the complex there's none wow that's back in 91 smfh…
Get it together black family. Quit having Illegitimate children
ABC is RACIST
Racism is a disease. It will never go away.
I find it weird when a person shows so much love as a black person for black people but married to a non-black person
But wait a minute !!! 😧 I couldn’t afford that house at that high price ! I give that house $60,000 for it’s size and NOTHING MORE . 🤷â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂIt’s not even 2 stories ðŸÂ¡
😻 WOW that guy has a beautiful wife !
😻Wow that guys got a beautiful wife !
Well iam not surprised,she not black she OJilla😂
This doesn't show a shred of evidence of racism especially when she got a second appraisal. If the first would've changed his mind when the black pictures and art was taken down, then I could've understood it. The first appraisal person could've just been cheap and ignorant. If everything is racist, soon nothing will be racist. There would've been even a different amount if she had used a third appraisal person, whether fair or unfair.
Oh and take notes this lady is the ONLY person to get a reevaluation and get a different number at the end…pfft
Lol..in the world I live in her race would give higher dollar value. How dare this video suggest the total opposite of reality. Madea has a shot at better housing and that's not even a real person lol
Why not just seek out a black appraiser?
Wow. So she got the rate that she wanted.
But at what price?…
"IM NOT BLACK I'M O.J…..
🤠OKAY"
11:18 WHICH ONE'S THE MOM?😳
Excellent reporting.
Pp
“Blessings†looool that’s what these racists do. They’ll tell you they are Christians yet support Trump etc. Bastards lol
No I am with her on this one. I don’t usually conform to these types of stories but this one is spot on. She went through a racist situation. Pure discrimination. I felt that
All The more reason why People of Color need to band together. We need more black real estate appraisers
ABC, why the untrue opinion piece in the guise of a news story? There is no evidence that property appraisals are racially biased. None! Discrepancies between appraisals happen all the time to white people. The smart thing to do is to simply get another appraisal if an appraiser low-balls the property.
No offense but did it ever occur to anybody that maybe one appraiser sucked at his job and gave a bad appraisal?
I'm Black Puertorican 61, and Yes America reminds me every so often that I'm a man of color in my country. It's exhausting. Not surprised by this story at all.
Dam she had a decent body on her
All the black 4chan/Discord users & black gamers know what’s up 🙄
Daaaaaaang wtf
This practice is so normal, so acceptable and so American; NONE of these RACISTS will face consequences. That's why anyone who denies racism exists against black people are racist to me. When you can't identify racism it's because racist practices are normal and acceptable to you.
ABC News faked this report just like they did others. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/14/abc-news-apologizes-for-airing-fake-syria-bombing-/
This is so fake
I go through the same thing. It's very frustrating.
Sorry-as an appraiser in the Sf Bay Area. this is very very likely just about playing into black paranoia-the low appraisal can be due to many things-first off -understand this-$500,000 off sounds like a lot-it is in every part of the country but the crazy SF Bay Area-I am a life long resident -second the type of appraisal (low detail type)done that got the lower number combined with the quality of the appraiser can easily account for the lower number-the house condition at the time of appraisal could have helped this-as well as the appearance tweaking that occurred before the second appraisal after the low number caused a problem-not an insult to the owners-we are way preoccupied and busy to be proactive on everything-third the second appraiser could have been better paid and hoed to do a more detailed form-in conclusion-this is not 1950 and a 500,000 swing may cause a red flag but believe me the pricing structure in the Sf Bay Area is so crazy that with all the above it is possible
America is so surprised that things like this are happening. People, take the blinders off, wake up!
So horrible. And the sad thing is those things that happen really effect people’s lives and there’s no way to really prove it and show people it really happens so a lot of Caucasian people don’t believe it. Discrimination effects your life in so many subtle and awful ways. It’s so much more than just being called slurs. 😢
Appraisals aren't written in stone. 3 Appraisals would come back differently. I think they Appraised mine too high. I think it's mostly based on the loan. Took a while to get one that was accepted. Shady business.
