@wood10_ @Ntombi @IjeomaOluo I think you’re doing exactly what the white boy in the story did by assuming you know more than the *woman more educated on the subject* (this subject being dealing with white bros at book signings on issues such as race, diversity, etc.)

Louis CK masturbated in front of women and won a Grammy. Will Smith smacked another man and had to resign from the Oscars. There is a VERY obvious double standard here

@rachelmillman I would also check with the regulations in your city cuz the rental board could definitely go after them. With small claims, you’ll have to serve them papers which means know where they live and pay someone $70 to tell them you’re taking them to court
