Airbnb is following up its Super Bowl ad calling for acceptance with a campaign to provide short-term housing over the next five years for 100,000 people in need.
An announcement on the rental service’s website says it plans to start with refugees, disaster survivors and relief workers, but wants “to accommodate many more types of displaced people over time.” The company also says it will donate $4 million over four years to the International Rescue Committee.
Airbnb also touched on discrimination experienced by some renters. The company says it’s looking to achieve “greater acceptance in our community.”
Airbnb’s Super Bowl spot showed faces of people of different races and included the line, “the world is more beautiful the more you accept.”

The business community is rising up against Mr. Trump. The administration was taken by surprise when about 100 companies filed legal briefs with the Circuit Court (that employ judges – not so-called judges) explaining why Mr. Trump’s Muslim / “travel” ban is illegal.
The piling on will continue. Trump is a psychotic.
Klastri: you are so ignorant how many times do you need to be told, it is not a Muslim Ban, if it was their would be about forty other Countries listed. Your hatred and bitterness towards President Trump has ruined you just as it has ruined the Democratic party. President Trump will prevail because of the McCarren-Walter Act of 1952. So I ask you like I have asked all the other Haters out there. “What is wrong with putting America its Citizens and the safety of our country first”.
Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the “Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. The President may, by proclamation, and for such a period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate.”
Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarran-Walter Act also requires that an “applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in agreement with the principles of our Constitution.” Therefore, if it is true that the Quran evidently forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, then ALL Muslims possibly should be refused immigration to OUR country. (Not to mention that their religion requires them to kill anyone who refuses to convert to Islam, which is why so many Christians have been beheaded, and will be otherwise murdered by Muslims)

Is the $30 billion Airbnb corporation and their host really that charitable or is it a propaganda ploy? I would say it’s the later. Airbnb’s business model, which turns residential homes into hotels, has been under attack by many local governments for depleting the residential housing for local residents. Why doesn’t Airbnb open up their host’s homes to struggling American families who are being forced out of their long-term rentals by Airbnb hosts? Airbnb is a cancer to our communities. Their goal is to make every neighborhood a hotel district… driving up rents and depleting the residential housing supply!
I don’t think they own their hosts’ homes.
Open up the host homes? How could they do that? They are a rental agent – nothing more.
Why not start with the homeless Vets. and the working class poor.
