This article is talking about a situation in New York where a couple is suing their condo board for discrimination. The article explains the situation about how a couple wanted to buy a bigger condo in the same building but the condo board refused. Each side had their own side to the story and opposite reasons was given by each side for the reason for the denial to buy a larger condo. The article then states that these cases are extremely difficult to prove because the landlord or condo board does not have to give a reason for the denial and it is up to the renter or buyer to prove that an act of discrimination has taken place and that is the reason for them being denied.
This article pertains to class because most of the people involved in these discrimination cases are minorities who are not being allowed in to certain buildings or areas because of their race or skin color. This area is just another example of how the poor or non whites are being discriminated against in such a way were it is very difficult to prove and even harder to get the action changed on a national level. This article had several references to discrimination in it, not only with the legal actions taken, but also of claims that employees of the building were not allowed to look white owners or managers in the eyes when talking to them. This is really an example of the pillars of white supremacy in my opinion. White are using what means they have available to them in order to keep minorities and other races towards the bottom of the social latter.
