“Kaderbhai Ali Asgar left India to find a place where he would be able to grow as a chemical engineer, landing in a country he believed was “the land of the free.”
His dreams mostly held true as he and his family made their lives in Tampa, until November 2016, when they were on the verge of moving to Davis Islands, an upscale island neighborhood near the city’s downtown.
Asgar and his wife had entered into contract for a house in the area and had scheduled a final walkthrough of the property with the two sellers, Asgar’s wife’s parents, two Realtors, movers and a cleaning person. Asgar, who is Muslim, was wearing a topi, a woven cap with religious meaning, and his wife and mother-in-law wore headscarves.
But after they arrived at the house, a neighbor, who law enforcement officials later identified as David H. Howard, walked toward the home, yelling at the seller and Asgar’s family.
“This sale will not take place!” Howard yelled, according to court documents filed by federal prosecutors. “I will break all of your f-ing windows and I will burn your f-ing house down!”

[@PANDORACROOME]

The problem is this country IS about bigotry. Some people thinking they're better than others and feel they can have a say in another person's life...

[@miapdx503]

PANDORA CROOME I agree. The balance of power in this country has always been skewed toward the wealthy, the white, the male...and they don't see the problem with that. 😩😡👿

[@deedeeannash]

It's true! I'm sick of hearing the denial of the obvious truth. People who say, "This isn't who we Americans are," just won't own their part in the ongoing suppression and inequality. Even the most horrifically racist lawmakers deny they're racists. That's because, in their white supremacist smugness, they reserve the right to redefine all the words in the damn dictionary. For change to occur we've got to acknowledge and identify and define the crisis. Anyone who won't call it a crisis is solidly in the "problem" column.

[@m.s.jordan615]

They are always sorry after they are caught!

[@Sydnysun11]

He is only sorry because he has to pay them!

[@cliffroebuck2277]

He is sorry because he got caught. If they didn't catch him he would still be doing it.

[@jasonswift8918]

Asgar and his lawyers should place a lien on Howard's home in case he doesn't pay the $30,000. Imagine if Howard lost his own house and Asgar moved into it. Karma.

[@sankleimsankleim5161]

That would be sweet justice.

[@rankat1841]

Bullies always get sorry after getting punched in the nose because the person being bullied didn't just run away.

[@sittowardi6781]

How can anyone deny that racism is alive and flagrant in the United States? We have to keep talking about this issue without hesitation and ignore those who wish to shit down the conversation with dumb labels such as ‘race baiter’.

[@PieaterProducts]

I don't remember there being an asterisk next to "Love thy neighbor". *unless they're brown

[@knavishknight]

@Grimmeshy: Actually, the Bible authors, especially 7th century BCE Deuteronomists, did encourage ethnic discrmination against other related Semitic neighbours: "No Ammonite or Moabite shall be admitted to the assembly of Yahweh. Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted to the assembly of Yahweh." (Deut. 23:3).

[@knavishknight]

@Preposteriors: So you admitted that the Old & New Testaments did endorse racist discrimination? Hey didn't Jesus call a Syro-Phoenician & her daughter "b*tches?"

[@latoyam7824]

Beautiful lady justice. He is only sorry because of the consequences. Prison time and financial payments.

[@camilleboyde5959]

He's sorry because he wasn't expecting it was going to cost him

[@rits219]

Oh, I bet he is really sorry...he has to pay out $30,000 and go to jail. Hope he learns his lesson and comes out being a positive force against that kind of behavior.

[@nicki66]

Anna, just no! We are sentient beings and are capable of critical thinking. Why does he cleave to the hateful rhetoric? He does because the horrible things he is hearing resonate with him because deep down is a horrible person. He may turn it around but he does not get to escape accountability for the evil of what he did and espoused. Why don’t others ascribe to this? Even when they hear this rubbish? People need to be accountable. I vehemently disagree with your ‘enlightened’ position. As a Black person...this kind of talk is dangerous.

[@theunionranger19]

Is ironic and also hypocritical that the people who claimed to be Patriots end up being the terrorist themselves by attacking people that just want to come to this country to live a peaceful life.

[@MrChuckdavey]

"I was taking Ambien when I did it".

[@Finians_Mancave]

If I'm the judge in this case, I'd stipulate that part of Howard's sentence be to perform community service in a Muslim-American community. That way he is forced to co-exist among the people he so obviously hates and misunderstands. A jail sentence and fine isn't going to change this man's thinking towards Muslims -- but if he has to spend time with them over weeks or months, he might just start seeing them as regular people and not his enemy.

[@robotech6424]

Poor Finian I like this!

[@nailashah4272]

Poor Finian agreed

[@lillyfrost8652]

But they say racism doesn't exist. Lol. Yeah, it doesn't for YOU.

[@lillyfrost8652]

channy brooze If you missed out on the convo Ana just gave, you would have heard her say the family were Indian. But allow me to add BIGOTRY to the racism to make you feel better. Did you not hear RED DOT? Racism at its finest.

[@rainmom4x]

Lilly Frost There is not a race on this planet that hasnt faced discrimination.

[@RuckNastyRealm]

Channy brooze... stfu... seriously. Stop deflecting the main issue here of ppl getting harassed, called names, and scared away from a home. You're the reason ppl continue this poor behavior. Finding other reasons to complain rather than the actual problem.

[@loags22]

No one is saying racism doesn't exist. Everyone has prejudices to some degree. To say that you don't is hypocrisy

[@allball4924]

Serves Him right.

[@DonnyJepp72]

Stop saying "this is not what our country is about". Its exactly what it's about!

[@brotherj7328]

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

People should get what they give. There should be no tolerance for intolerance, no peace for antagonists, no equality for bigots, and no freedom for Fascists.

[@ShanikaJourney]

What Anna just described is social conditioning. That's exactly what's teaching people to act out of bigotry and hate.

[@carlosmgonzalez284]

How is it that these bigots are repentant after they are punished for their actions and/or words when they didn't get the support he expected from his neighbors? It doesn't mean that he has learned anything and never will.

[@juanc711]

Again! As much as I can sound the alarm! Hit them where it hurts! Their pockets! The very thing that makes them feel that they have a right to do this! Bravo! To the family 👏👏👏👏

Racism is getting kind of expensive lately !

But not expensive enough.

[@sp-sc2lh]

If more of these people were held accountable for their behavior they would change their behavior

[@orionpax0946]

Huh. So there actually is justice in this burned out excuse for a country every now and again. Who'd have thought?

[@evanj706]

OrionPax09, yeah, this totally surprised me. Not some bigot screaming crazy shit at the nearest brown people, this is America after all, but the fact that he was held accountable for it.

[@esnstrider46]

I hope justice finds him in prison.

[@irenefunn4261]

Did that man just say that this is not what this country is about? If it's not about hate and lies, tell me what is this country about?

[@papabush6054]

He's one of those "fine people" that you hear about. Mr Asgar is like: Bitch better have my $30'000!

[@bjmccann1]

Sorry, but he IS a bad guy. Why is it that billions of other people around the world can go about their daily lives without spouting racist diatribes and/or threatening people? Please don't normalize, or excuse this behavior.

[@stevenmanning4808]

There is no excuse for a person to behave in that manner. He is a racist to the core. He is an adult with some sort of brain in his head and thus he knew what he was saying and doing. There is no out for him.

[@75kwbsrdds]

How can we get justice for Native Black Americans who have been, and continue to be victimized by criminal, unfair, discriminatory, harmful, terroristic and subjugating housing practices? Justice for all! REPARATIONS !

[@carlb215]

Sorry excuse for his actions.

[@wratched]

"dot heads" huh? Insulting Muslims by insulting Hindus. That's like Bigotryception.

[@deedeeannash]

Wrong, Ana. He's a bad guy. You're awfully generous with your forgiveness. It didn't happen to you. Let David H. Howard lose his home and freedom . The whole forgiveness thing has no place in these circumstances. Reserve it for people who have redeeming qualities. He gets caught and punished, causing him to say meaningless apology words that aim to exonerate him. He's not sorry! He hasn't seen the error of his hateful ways! He's just shocked that his behaviour has consequences because he's been getting away with this crap his whole life. There's no good reason to give permission for his appalling racist violence by offering redemption so cheaply.

[@radwulfeboraci7504]

Trump is the assassin of discretion in America. He found all the ASSHOLES who were tired of showing their fellow citizens respect. He told them it was OK to be an ASSHOLE, look at all my ASSHOLE friends and the ASSHOLES I admire. ASSHOLES will have their day said he. Told them how 80% of America was denying their right to be ASSHOLES. Nobody had any idea of how many ASSHOLES there were.

It either takes filming these racists and broadcasting it to the internet for all to see, or hitting them where it really hurts (the wallet) to get an apology out of them. Even then, they're only really sorry because they were caught and punished for it in some way. NOT for being racist.
