Listings like this make me want to scream or cry.

[Pacifist Patriot]

These lovely people are offering their home, which is a grand gesture. Their last sentence is chilling to me. Part of me thinks the listing should be removed from hurricanehousing.org but someone could use the space.

We're a christian family, so we will only house a married couple with 2-3 children, no alchohol or drugs. My wife and I live in a 4 bedroom house, in a unrestricted golf community, with 3 boys (twins 10, oldest 13). We would prefer a white or hispanic family, but will help any family in need.

Can you imagine Christ saying he preferred a particular color skin?

1. touching ... jackasses reaching out to fellow jackasses n/t

[ima_sinnic]

2. UGH!! wtf is WRONG with people??

screw them and their "generous" offer.
well, on second thought, keep it up for like-minded, small-minded dumbass phony "christian" bigots to respond to.

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. I thought their listing was weird AND offensive.

Because they are Christian they won't house a married couple without children? With only one child? A single mom? A bachelor? Strange, strange, strange.

Preferring a skin color is foul and offensive.

[never_get_over_it]

28. I think the comment about married couple is there to say

if you're an unmarried couple we don't want you here - because you have sex outside of marriage - GOD FORBID....I wonder if the couple has to provide their marriage license....

I'm glad they offered help but they sure have some soul searching to do about their conditions.....

3. Think of who Jesus was...

Was he a scion of Imperial Rome? No, he came as the son of a humble tradesman in a conquered fractious "foreign" province who couldn't even speak properly (i.e., in Latin).

So what makes some "Christians" think he's come back as a white, English-speaking American? "How you treat the least of youreslves is how you treat me" (or something like that -- I'm an atheist personally, so I don't have the quote at hand).

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. The more I think about it, the more I think the listing should be

removed. It is beyond offensive.

[Lilyhoney]

35. Would it be offensive if I specified NO CHRISTIANS, please?

Should my offer be censored or removed?

[Pacifist Patriot]

46. I'm conflicted, but leaning towards yes.

Just my opinion, but someone willing to open their home to strangers should be interested in a limited number of issues.

Number of people
Duration
Smoking/Drug Use
Pets
Accommodating children
Accommodating special needs

Race and religion shouldn't matter. I know it does to many people. But it shouldn't.

[KitSileya]

10. Not to mention,

his momma got pregnant before she got married.... I bet that's what the 'married' comment comes from - now cohabitating couples (or gay couples, horror!)

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Who would

Jesus House?

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

7. Good thing they mentioned they live in a golf community

so people can remember to bring their golf clubs

:sarcasm:

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. Keep in mind it's an UNrestricted golf community.

Probably means they admit black people but would prefer not to.

[JanMichael]

8. Well....they would have preferred not to help Joseph and Mary

when they first got together, eh.

[gollygee]

11. Good point - classic case of No Room At The Inn

[wake.up.america]

9. The guy is full of it.

[distantearlywarning]

12. This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

Something is seriously wrong with these people.

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. I've been debating whether or not to issue a complaint

to the website administrators about it.

[demodonkey]

25. ISSUE IT! These misguided "Christians" are SICK. nt

[LoZoccolo]

40. I wouldn't - leave it up for everyone to see!

It'll get around that way, where people can see it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

49. Fair point.

[mattclearing]

14. Sounds like Dubya's kind of charity. n/t

[-..__...]

16. They probably listed a Hispanic family...

figuring they could probably get a house cleaner or landscaper out of the deal.

[Libby2]

17. Fuck them and their "charity"

[Imagevision]

18. Hey, beats a blank!

[Sabriel]

19. What if the spouse was killed in the hurricane?

Does that count?

Ugh!

[smurfygirl]

20. they forgot to add the only want republicans

no godless liberals allowed.

[elehhhhna]

21. "msu be willing to cook and do light housekeeping" is all that's missing.

[Brewman_Jax]

22. Doesn't shock me

but then again, black people are barely considered people, much less Americans.

They can stuff their "charity." :grr:

[AspenRose]

31. That's by design

Blacks in this country have been represented as subhuman for decades, no thanks to a complicit media.

[AspenRose]

23. They can keep their "charity"

And they need to go back and read the parables about the good Samaritan and the Woman at the Well (also a Samaritan). Samaritans were looked down upon in biblical times and Jesus felt it important enough to illustrate compassion on those who were different by using them in not one, but two different parables.

*sigh* Jesus weeps at stuff like this. "For what you've done unto the least of these, you have also done unto me." Guess they forgot that passage out of Matthew too.

[jane_pippin]

24. I'm sorry but...

being so selective about which kind of neighbor they would like to love as they love themselves (only married, prefer certain ethnicities), makes me a little sick.

Still, it is generous of them to open their home to someone, so bless them for that at least.

[classics]

26. There are actually many listings there that specify WHITES ONLY

Not too hard to find.

[-..__...]

39. There are others as well.

Location: Bon Wier, TX 75928
Number of housing spaces available: 2
Duration: 60 days
Description: We are an american asian couple and we prefer an american asian couple or older couple.They may have 2 children.Ok to smoke outside.We live on the Sabine river,Texas/Louisiana border.Call or email for more info.RV ok..

[phylny]

47. And more:

We have an extra bedroom and bathroom available and would like to help an elderly African American couple or mother with child. We have space only for two people.

[K-W]

27. Fox news/Limbough/etc is probably partially behind this. EOM

[LoZoccolo]

29. Where did you find this?

I'd like to put it on my blog.

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. It is here....

http://www.hurricanehousing.org/request.html?housing_id=12507

[LoZoccolo]

37. I can't believe they listed their phone number!

:popcorn:

[Fuzz]

30. Where is this?

[coffeenap]

32. hurricanehousing.org

[kittenpants]

34. un-fucking-real!

How big of them to say "...but will help any family in need," after making it clear the don't want blacks! :puke:

[-..__...]

36. Goths only...

At least they're being honest and fore warning about it.


Location: Ridgeland, MS 39157
Number of housing spaces available: 3
Duration: 30 days
Description: This is a "Goth" household. Anyone who isn't a Goth or comfortable with people who fit that term will not be comfortable here. Smoking is ok, as long as it is outside. We have an air-bed but no public transport close-by. Gas is hard to come by, but do-able. We do have electricity and water and internet access. Must stress again we prefer Goths or family friendly "Punk Rockers", especially those with kids. We have a small child, our house is quiet and outside pets are OK, but our fence was torn down by a tree in the storm. If you are Goth or Punk please email, you'll be comfortable here and we want to help!

http://www.hurricanehousing.org/request.html?housing_id=4739

[K-W]

38. "or comfortable with people who fit that term" not goths only at all

just a warning that its a weird household.

[-..__...]

42. Given the situation...

Even shacking up with the Munsters or Addams Family would be welcome.

[Pacifist Patriot]

48. I think that's fair.

If the above couple had said, "we're racist so if you're black you probably won't be comfortable here," I probably wouldn't be so offended.

[librechik]

41. "unrestricted golf community?"

thank goodness!! nevertheless we would prefer a white or white-looking family...!


AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[gatorboy]

43. How could they possibly use a description like that? It's illegal!

Seriously. I work for a paper and mess with this sort of thing quite a bit. If someone used that wording in a line ad and we printed it, we;d get our asses sued off.

Someone needs t turn those people in to the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity

[Betsy Ross]

44. somebody might burn their house down. n/t

[Mitt Chovick]

45. What a bunch of crackers (n/t)

[briang5000]

50. How many extra rooms in Crawford or in the White House?

Wonder if W can put anybody up at the Ranch or the WH?

[Iris]

51. And just think, they get to be so proud of being so magnanimous.

disgusting.
