A black business owner was given the boot by his white landlord for being out at a BLM rally in Des Moines.

In the clip, you see Jeremiah trying to get a reason for why he was being evicted -- but after a lengthy conversation, the only thing the landlord has to say is ... being around"illegal activity" is just as bad as partaking in it. That's pretty much his whole rationale.

Jeremiah explained he was NOT participating in any of the looting or rioting that had occurred in Des Moines, but that wasn't good enough for the landlord. He tells Jeremiah that if he was in his shoes, he'd be nowhere near that scene -- implying that Jeremiah and co. should've known better. It gets even crazier though ... Jeremiah says the landlord sent his attorney an email, allegedly saying they were out there protesting for rights they hadn't yet earned or deserved!!!

So, where do things stand now? Jeremiah says he's taking the dude to court, and is waiting to get before a judge to plead his case. Obviously, he's alleging racial discrimination, but also violation of first amendment rights and violating the lease he signed. He also tells us his business is hurting right now with no office space to work on shipping his product, or to store his inventory.

antifa_ne Yikes!! It would be a shame if something happened to that building.

Y’all missed something. Here is their gofundme link:

Lawyer’s gonna lose, especially after sending that email. Hopefully, this guy finds another spot to do business after this lease is up.

comradeyennefer

If he was peaceful then he shouldn't evict him but if he participated in any rioting or looting then oh freaking well, he deserves to be evicted.there has to be some kinda repercussions for that crap

What’s his name? What’s the landlord’s name?

Wooow SMH.

YOU KNOW WHAT NIGERIA DID WHEN THE CHINESE DID THIS TO BLACKS.....LETS SIT BACK AND REMEMBER THIS

He’s gonna own that building after the lawsuit.

It's always been about race and will always be so just tell white racists to shut up when they're whitesplaining to you.

I wonder why blacks are so odeados by white race, where comes all hate , I need them to make sure they understand the 5 continents

MEDIA not trying to cause a RACEwar no not at all EnemyOfThePeople

HOLD UP TMZ LOOKS LIKE YOU LEFT A LOT OF STUFF OUT

TMZ fired Van Latham. TMZ is racist

I guess he is racist right.

Yeah you want equal rights. There you go. White people get evicted too welcome to life.

TMZ would have never of touched this story if the races were reversed.

Well yeah cancel culture works both ways. Don't want to fucking hear it. Good for him.

Do I smell Klan?

Get that money

There is no way that is legal. Hope they find a new spot, and sue that guy.

These protests are just bringing out the worst in some people, they're bringing out the worst people. The bad cops and white privileged are exposing themselves in great numbers.

TMZ is part of the cancel culture and when something happens to this man they will be onto the next celebrity B.S.

rebeloo1 I dare say ,not paying rent as well

HelloTeamTrump Based off of what is in the article, that's wrong & the tenant could own that property.

Wow y’all are really trying to fan the flames. racebait much?

That’s illegal!

Wow! Racists are really on the prowl, becoming less and less tolerant, and showing who they really are.

White people punishing blacks for exercising their constitutional rights? You don’t say.

semperdiced Lawsuit

He has every right to evict this guy for being a domestic terrorist!

They just can’t mind there own business.

Is that legal?

I smell lawsuit

Good!!! Got what he deserved!

What bullshit! You can't evict people for that. You have to go through the court system to evict ANYBODY.

jeremiah_miah11 ACLUiowa

The landlord is a disgrace to Iowa. Shame on him.

Sue them

Well this is messed up. Seems like an easy lawsuit

Yeah he’s supporting blk businesses which they trashed - they use racism like a Jedi mind trick - yes we are good people

jeremiah_miah11 ACLUiowa

jeremiah_miah11 I practice law in Iowa. Reach out if you don't have an attorney yet.

We must have read trumps book

😳

williamlegate If it isn't a violation of his lease I don't see why the landlord can't be sued.

I would like the next headline to read “Black business owner awarded ownership of building by racist white landlord, as well as $2.5 million in punitive damages”

Free country so they say

This is madness.

Looks like cancelculture is a two way street now, that being said the white dude is wrong

williamlegate All the sudden tmz considers rebranding and using their platform to bring about positive social change 🤯

Wow.

TMZ is openly trying to stir up racial divide in this country. They should be ashamed of themselves!

ChillCookie25_8 looks like that landlord is going to have one hell of a lawsuit... what you think 🤔

girl_on_fiyah did you see this bs 😒 🙄 😑
