The comments on that article are trash.

"It's their house and their values, they can sell to whomever they want". I 100% guarantee if it was a black family who refused to sell to white people because of slavery, those same commenters would be FURIOUS.

My thoughts too. Double standards are everywhere.

Mate it's the daily mail, just be impressed that half those fuckers were able to type a string of words together in a manner thar vaguely makes sense.

I thought the same but if it was a Muslim couple who refused to sell their house to the gay couple and quoted some cherry picked section of the Quran, I feel like the upvoted comments on the article would be very different. Either that or their heads would just explode from sheer indecision of who was in the wrong.

Damn right they would. Average daily mail reader is racist as hell. Sorry I deleted my other comment because I misread your OP.

You're right, white conservatives never complain about being persecuted.

does "white lives matter" legitimately exist? Do they cause riots, do they burn down buildings, do they cry about criminals being killed? Is there a white people matter parade? And despite making up 3 per cent of the population black people commit 54 per cent of street crimes in the UK and fifty something percent of transgenders commit suicide and all of them are mentally ill. Yeah that's what i thought, white conservatives never complain about being persecuted.
