I don't think you're a racist and the fact that you besmirched conservatives unintentionally doesn't make me angry, but it does demonstrate a kind of ignorance and arrogance that is common on the left.

This.

You actually believe obliviousness and condescension are superpowers, don't you?

Probably just trolling. Needs some improvement.

you could try the listings at http://www.kcsr.org You will find many honest people from the KC Metro there and they are all car guys. Most will tell you up front the good/bad and what mods the car has if any.

Not justified.

If you think it's a scam - IT'S A SCAM.

Forget the whole race idea...

Because it works...

Political affiliation has nothing to do with racism.

I just sold my old van through a facebook sell group this morning. Now, I don't trust the marketplace as a whole because there's no one restricting or kicking out the scammers. We've got a couple decent sales groups around here though that we buy and sell from pretty often. We actually bought my wife's new SUV off of it a month ago.

I am looking for a new car for my daughter who is a junior at NWMST. I have been looking on Facebook Marketplace, and there are so many cars posted by people with Latino and Middle Eastern sounding last names, and they often have several cars listed, but don't appear to be advertising on behalf of a dealership.

Just tell the Middle Eastern seller that you are a fargha barmil. They will understand and give you a good deal on the sale of the car...

I had a few Indian buddies who ran a gas station near the GSP Dining Hall, where I'd work in Lawrence.

They would often buy the cars from Indian Nationals who graduated KU and were returning home. Often these cars were six figure cars bought by the students' parents and subsequently written off.

My friends would buy these cars for 30K cash and then re-sell them and get a massive, massive profit.

It was a pretty swell setup.

Last week I went into a bad part of st Joe and sold an Xbox 360 to this black guy. He had an impala 2 kids the thing seemed sketchy but he sat down with me and played video games and talked NBA forever. Be careful but sometimes being stupid is fun

Here’s a simple rule: don’t buy anything on line without looking at it first. This applies to everyone buying anything on line. I don’t care if the sellers name is John Whiteboy-Smith and he’s the whitest clown in the show. Don’t buy nothing without looking it over, carefully, first. I don’t care if the sellers name is Tariq Mohammed Al-Joi Boi, look it over first.
