Baxter was determined to fight a system that has long prevented Black men and women from becoming homeowners.

“Baby, I’m either buying your house or buying YOUR BLOCK. CHOOSE ONE,” she said at the end of her post.

My real estate agent's BROKER just called me at 9pm on a Friday to tell me that the seller doesn't want to sell a house to me because I am BLACK. This is after the inspection, contract agreement, down payment. Baby, I'm either buying your house or buying YOUR BLOCK. CHOOSE ONE.

After receiving an outpouring of support, Baxter filed a discrimination claim with the Virginia Fair Housing Office and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and contacted a civil rights lawyer for further advice, the DailyMail reported.

Baxter thanked everyone who offered her invaluable advice about handling the situation.
