Judge Rules Houston Realtor Did Not Violate Fair Housing Laws By Blocking Black Investors from Buying In Asian Community

A federal court has dismissed a racial discrimination lawsuit filed by three Black real estate investors in Houston who claimed they were denied the opportunity to purchase condominiums in a new community development that catered to Asians.
The civil action against the RE/MAX franchise network and others was thrown out on Feb. 27 after U.S. District Judge David Hittner ruled the case lacked the proper legal standing under the federal Fair Housing Act.
Filed in September 2022 by James Ra-Amari and his wife, Misty Ra-Amari, and Misty’s sister Rosemary Afful, the lawsuit obtained by Atlanta Black Star alleged that Houston-area realtor Josie Lin and associate property managers, including RE/MAX, conspired to prevent them from buying three new units at Grand West Condominiums in the suburb of Katy.

Hittner dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, or “without the option to refile,” suggesting the plaintiffs cannot appeal the ruling to a higher court based solely on the merits of the case.

The lawsuit had sought undisclosed punitive damages for emotional distress while claiming violations of fair housing laws, which prohibit discrimination in the “sale or rental of a dwelling.”

Hittner’s ruling focused more on whether fair housing laws had been violated rather than on whether the Black investors had faced outright racism when they tried to buy property in an area of Houston that was being marketed specifically to Asian residents.

The lawsuit said the complex’s promotional materials hailed it as a “new option for Chinese and Asian communities.” The marketing brochure also touted the property as “a new option for a safe and simple Asian life” and plugged the trendy Asian shopping district “within walking distance.”

Undeterred, the Black buyers still called Lin for a meeting, in which they were allegedly told that “all the current owners were personal friends and knew each other,” which suggested to the trio they were not welcome.

We been seeing anything that specifically targets Black people come under attack from whites and Asians, but this is okay?

I hope this is a lesson for people obsessed with laws, legislature, communities, etc only for black people. This is a pretty clear blueprint for how you do that without running into legal issues. Nowhere in the brochures does it say "Asians only." It just says this is an Asian community, come join. Anyone can join on paper...but they clearly plan on only selling to Asians, yet would never outright say that because it is illegal.

In his ruling, Judge Hittner decided that the plaintiffs lacked legal grounds to file the suit because they had failed to establish a business relationship with Lin in the first place and that Lin was never an agent “acting on their behalf.”

They were told the properties were being sold amongst friends/associates. Which isn't illegal.

There's a clear blueprint for how to do this stuff and it's been staring us in the face for decades. Look at the original GI Bill for instance. Nowhere in the bill does it specifically state "don't give mortgages/loans/benefits/etc to black people." But the banks the implemented the law simply refused to offer those things to black people. The moral of the story is that if you want your shyt implemented, you need to put people in position to get it done. If you control a neighborhood's property for instance, you only give out approvals to black people. Or if you're approving federal funds - say for farmers at the USDA - you approve black farmers at the same rate you approve white farmers, thus significantly increasing black farmer approvals. With federal or state money you can't play around with fukking over white people but you don't need to fukk them over: just hand out money to black people, too. With non-government money, like this housing shyt? You can do whatever you want....as long as you don't outright say you are only helping black people.

Coli gotta dead this idea that black progress only matters if we get something that says For Blacks Only on the front page. Show me something like that for white people over the last 70 years. You can't. Because they understand how this shyt works.

Not only does it come under attack, but they seem to be largely successful in court, biggest being the striking down of affirmative action.

Yeah, if he really wants to get back at them, he should get an LLC with a chinese name, and asian person as his frontman to buy and tour the properties.

Then eventually buy up more and more properties and move black people in out of spite Hell we can takeover the whole place if he gets his buddies to do the same. Fukk these racists

Fukk em. Learn to play to win and stop fukking around with these people

Just reminded me of a breh we met 20 years ago in NYC telling us he hired cacs to represent his IT company for business bids and marketing promotions etc. And to just be the public face of the firm. He and the other Black guys just show up to do the technical on site work.

Said he's smart enough to know who he is and where he is and how he knows he won't get business no matter how good he is putting his Black face out there.

If black businesspeople have to hide like this, we really need to have that conversation on why that is. But it explains a lot
