You can say numerous things like, he doesn't deserve this and people may thousands for this house and it's unfair blah blah blah. No! This man is a resident bad-ass because he's not hurting anybody, and he's working the system in a genius way.
 
Brilliant and good for him!

Those white racists are jealous and mad because they weren't smart enough to do what he did. Just goes to prove how ignorant racists really are.

I watched the video again just to see if I missed something, but I saw nothing racist about it. Just because they don't like the fact that he got a house for little to nothing and want him out, doesn't imply or give honest reason to assume they're racist, I think they'd whine about it equally regardless of color.
 
@Orian: I find the title of the YouTube video slightly racist as well. Why did they have to specify it was a black Texas man? Do you honestly think the neighbors would have a problem with this man if he was white?

The video wasn't official, it was uploaded by somebody else, that has absolutely nothing to do with them, and yes, I think they would have a problem with him if he was white all the same because that's the way people are, and we've been given nothing but assumption to think other wise, and assumption is unfair.
 
hmmm....i see nothing rascist about it



best of luck to him since he is playing by the rules and doing it legally



if he had simply been squatting then i could understand it



the neighbours should be thankful that the property isnt gong to fall into disrepair since he is looking after it
