AirBnB

You see racism everyday on TV and social media but you never really feel like you’ll be the target… until you are. In the third installment of the podcast recapping our DC experience, Aldo NICE, Rog Smuve, and Los aka C.A.P. chronicle the Aftermath, #AirBnBWhileBlack. Aldo started things off with a brief recap of AirBnB’s discrimination policies and a charge to live up to them (01:00) as well as what Best Friend Weekend is all about (05:00). Next, we talked about past AirBnB booking experiences (05:00) and the process of booking our trip to D.C. (12:00). We explored the rental history of the hosts in question (20:00) before providing the actual audio of our first interaction with them (29:00) and their interaction with D.C. police (38:00). The fallout of these exchanges included us reading the owner’s responses (44:00) and discussing how the experience felt for us (48:00) and Rumble (53:00). We played the audio from our second interaction with the hosts (1:00:00) before allowing Bossman to give his thoughts on Karen and Kyle (1:05:00). We ended the podcast with a rundown of other AirBnB national stories, the platform’s lack of response (1:12:00), how this experience shapes our feelings about future travel (1:20:00) and CNH’s final thoughts on race relations in America (1:25:00).
