At first glance it appears harmless -- it's a Craigslist ad announcing an estate sale -- however, when you get past the items listed, you get to the inflammatory portion. It reads: given that this is a high end house and neighborhood, we will have to exclude this estate sale to Caucasians only. No African Africans or N-words allowed" for one of its reports whereas some of its video appeared to have had text of, "Given that this is a high end house and neighborhood, we will have to exclude this estate sale to Caucasians only.
