Other commenters pointed out the racial inequality in the housing market, particularly when it comes to Black men.

“This is outrageous. Housing racism and inequality is very real and it’s disgusting that you’re being impacted by it,” one fan said, with another adding, “Now just imagine what a regular black man has to go through smh. Even when rich it tough being black in America.”

“I am so sorry you had to deal with that,” another fan added. “Your decades-long body of regular work should have been recommendation enough.”

Pierce didn’t name the landlord and nobody has responded publicly to his post.
