"I’m a black man. Here’s what happened when I booked Airbnb"

This is a story of an AIRBNB experience I recently went through. I met this awesome lady Crissie in my Facebook Group… and they live in Idaho.
It‘s so absolutely beautiful there!
This place looks majestic! Like something you would see in a movie. After working like crazy on a new product launch, I felt like I needed a bit of a break. I hit up Crissie and told her I’m finally coming through to visit! : -)
I like my space when I travel and thought it would be fun to find a cool cabin
Oh and here’s me with my new beard
Crissie was super happy I was finally coming, and hilarious as usual! LOL
And I was hyped too!
I booked this place on AirBNB for 5 days, July 1st to July 5th
Crissie even drew me up this hilarious picture based on the locations of the airbnb spot vs her home. 2 miles. Perfect!!!
Everything was set! As usual, I included a bit of info about myself on the airbnb listing to put the host at ease
I’m actually going by myself, but I figured I would just add the possibility of another person so it wouldn’t feel extra weird
1st response: Dang! No luck, even though the dates were available all of a sudden, the host said she was going to use the place.
No biggie, I’m really flexible, Crissie told me late June is good as well, so I rebooked for June.
CANCELLED! Well daymn. So it wasn’t really the dates, the host cancelled my new request and ignored all future messages.
So I had a white friend book for my same dates and all of a sudden her plans changed back hahaha. Approved immediately! LOL
Moral of the story: Last time I’ll be using AirBnB until they fix this widespread issue
We can't even go 1 day on Atrl without someone posting at least one thread about people being racist to black people. We live in a messed up world and **** like this happens every single day.
AirbnandWhack is a joke anyway. I thought about using them when I went to Paris but I found a similar service that allowed me to stay in a bomb ass loft and I didn't have to worry about living with anybody else. It was perfect. Airbnwhack also has **** listings.
How did they even know he was black and she was white?
you have to include a picture if you want to use all this couch-surfing stuff. nobody's going to let a total stranger they haven't even seen into their home.
