Oh I finally understand the National Association Of Realtors advertising campaign. Silly me, I needed to read between the lines. “It’s a great time to buy a home…if you’re white!” Another agent is charged with being a racist. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced today that it has charged Rodney Foreman, [...]
