Realtor fired for posting ad offering to sell homes for those who didn't like Steven Reed's election

[FM123]

(MSN news) A real estate agent was fired after posting an advertisement encouraging people to use his home selling services if they were upset after the Montgomery election when the voters elected an African American to be mayor.

"Hey Montgomery, Don't Like The Election Results?? CALL ME!! Let's SELL That Home While The Market Is HOT!," the Facebook advertisement with an eXp Realty logo said.

The dog-whistle advertisement with Craig Schaid posing in it was posted after Steven Reed was elected Tuesday night to lead the city of Montgomery, which has a majority black population but never has had an African American in its highest office.

Cynthia Novak, eXP vice president of marketing and communications, told the Advertiser in an e-mail that the company was not aware of the advertisement before it was posted and fired Schaid after learning of it.

"We reviewed the situation and terminated the agent. He is no longer an agent with eXp," Novak wrote. "In addition, we are discussing how we advocate for diversity and inclusion and will educate all staff and agents on these matters."

Schaid could not be reached when the Advertiser contacted him Thursday. Schaid also resigned Thursday from his treasurer position with the Montgomery Association of Realtors. "As of today, we asked for his resignation and we received it today," said association CEO Brad Owen.

1. Good

I don't know what it is about these stories, but I get comfort from them. Here's a racist asshole who's been emboldened by the White Supremacist in chief and he thinks he can just be out in the open racist without consequences. Well, your company has to conduct business in a way that serves all of its customers, there's simply no place in business for your racist dog whistles, go find a new job.

4. I get comfort from these stories too.

Trump has just emboldened all of these racists and every time they are called out and made to pay, it restores something in me.

3. That wasn't a "dog whistle." It was blatant "blockbusting" which is illegal

and has been since 1968 with the passage of the Fair Housing Act.
