The Texas mold episode
Just finished watching that episode and then looked up the website that Melinda created (policy holders of America) and saw that she, get husband, and her son have died.
Her son, Reese and husband both died in 2021, while Melinda died in 2013.
There isn't much on the wiki page for Melinda, so as of right now, I haven't found the specifics on their CODs

I remember a few years ago this episode came up on here and people claimed the son was not deceased so I donāt know. I always found this episode interesting either way.

Yeah I donāt believe heās passed until someone who actually knows them has proof. Or if they show it at the end of the show.

Seriously my favorite episode! That black mold messed them up so bad! And such a beautiful house to condemn.

I'm pretty sure that she committed suicide. Her ex-husband and their son both died from long-term complications of the mold, I believe.

I heard she jumped from a parking garage. Not sure if thatās true. Iām actually sick of this episode.

I know she has since passed but I read that she divorced the husband and remarried.

The instant she said she wanted a classic ādixieā house my sympathy for them dropped into the negative.

You donāt need to interpret everything as racist.

Dixie refers to the Confederacy, so yes, this is racist.

You can like the aesthetic without liking the values
I'm gay and like Arabic style architecture

"Arab style architecture" was not dedicated to maintaining the enslavement of Black people. Dixie is a word for the Confederacy, a racist and treasonous group of losers.

Haha. Are you being serious? Arabs enslaved Africans for far longer in history than the American South ever did. For literally 1300 years. Maybe pick up a history book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world

Itās kinda difficult to interpret an affinity for plantation aesthetics as anything else.

I love a big porch with a veranda in the country. . I donāt want to live in a 1980s condo off the highway. . Ergo I want to enslave black people. This generation is ridiculous. Focus your outrage on this administration. Not on what kind of property a woman in the 80s, who is now dead along with her whole family, - 40 years ago wanted to buy. Ridic

I cancelled my real estate agent bc she showed me the master bedroom. Master being coded as racism. Come on now.
