I like when I'm at Home Depot getting black pipe cut and someone asks the worker where something is and I take them to it so my pipes can continue getting cut.

The brands were mixed, all the kitchen stuff in black, not the newest model, and we paid a little over half of what retail is delivered to our ware house.We get unfinished 3/4” oak flooring in most of our rentals and flips.

Thick Face, Black Heart by Chin Ning Chu.It was instrumental in teaching me some land lording philosophies I really needed.

The reason I ask is that I am a 62 year-old white lady who routinely pokes around properties that are for sale in predominantly black neighborhoods, without any of the paperwork this man had.

"There aren't enough funny black women!" 

Nothing is black and white. 

These floors were never finished at all, the bare wood was walked on for 120 years and the floors were black with a century of dirt, dust, grime, etc.We finished the attic into 4 more rooms and had a professional floor refinisher sand the floors and ploy them.

I'm old enough to have been around for "black Monday" in the later 80's.

Be careful and do your own due diligence on even those giving such black and white answers.

As long as my business is operating within my personal morals and ethics, and I am in the black - I am content.
