These people have been found guilty of using the service whilst being in the receipt of dark skin.

Only kidding...I’m sure that the people who reported these black people would’ve done the same if they were white - but how many times has anyone reported a suspected burglary to the police and benefited from a helicopter being scrambled!

Awesome.

What’s the best way for black people to show they are not thieves whilst using Airbnb?

I'm just amazed no-one got shot - were the Police having a day-off?
Never happened to whitey?
It's America not the UK.

I assume they were...

Actually - that’s a really good point.

No idea sunny-dave.

No idea at all.

My favourite story is that one from about eight months ago - the behavioral therapist Charles Kinsey, who was shot by police as he lay in a street with his hands up next to an autistic patient whom he was trying to help.

It’s still worthy of discussion, right?

I mean - it wouldn’t be the first time we discussed something that happened abroad, would it?

Why are you using terms like ‘whitey’?

Why not write, “white people’

I am concerned by this because people who use pejorative terms for white people, also term to use pejorative terms for black people, Asians, and Jews.

If you are about to do this - I would appreciate if you didn’t. I don’t want this thread deleted because of silly racist terms.

If I were letting my home out in such a way, I'd be sure to let my immediate neighbours know to expect new people coming and going.

Maybe this was the first occasion.

I never said it wasn't, I was referring to the overreaction of those who reported those black people and of course their police overreaction, something our own police could never be accused of taking into account the amount of black on black killings.

Easy.....don't wear those bloody awful dreadlocks (is that what they are called?) shave off those dirty unkempt beards, dress smartly and neatly and stop that arrogant lolloping swagger whilst walking and get rid of that innate grin calling everybody.."Maaaan"

That's a start.
aog - if all these B on B stabbings were occurring in the posh parts of London , then you would see a lot more police reaction

Oh so you are only concerned about it because they might use the same pejorative terms for black people, Asians, and Jews.

If I have misunderstood you, you could of course have just chastised the poster for using the term ‘whitey’ as it is offensive towards white people.

But then that would be wrong wouldn't it? Because most white people wouldn't give a toss.
Was it a black neighbour who reported them?
Were the householders different black people and their white/black neighbours were looking out for them?
As mamya says, you'd inform your neighbours. (unless you had an agenda)
So many questions need answering before we can start bleating about racism,,,,,again.

Are you stating that is a representative description of black people , sqad ?
It's a lazy one Baz.
Bazile....NO.....just black villans.

You don't see many black burglars in suits and ties.
lol - you don't see burglars , do you ?

Not so, it is because if the police were to take more action in the killing areas, it would upset the communities.
Bazile...not when they are black and it is in the night, although you might see the white of their eyes.

Do you mean that would be a description of a lazy black man?
