  My baser mind really wants to tear into you over this, but I don't think I will. Everyone can see what you're saying, and draw their own conclusions.

    Assuming they're being racist when we're not given all the details and facts of the situation just that he applied as a black guy and then again as a white (person) and suddenly the owner is racist? Yeah alright. If the person is going to complain and pull the race card on a public forum in an attempt to disparage a largely successful company then they deserve to be scrutinized. If he provided details saying he had similar reviews to his white friend that applied, and didn't message her TWO times without a response (making it seem like he REALLY wants the place for several days) then i'd be more like ok ya she's being racist kind of unreasonably so.

        Filler words that missed the intended meaning. But you can attach fullheartedly to a few words and miss the entire point of what I said because your jimmies are so rustled by a little adage at the very end. Really shows your intelligence.
