Racial discrimination is shown by cumulative evidence. The following accumulation of evidence raises a colorable claim that the eviction may have been in retaliation for the Barneses act of renting: The appellants’ one witness testified that she had never heard any noise from appellants’ apartment and that Pam Smith had solicited from her complaints about the Barneses; appellants were blamed by Pam Smith for conduct of anyone apparently of their same race. A post judgment statement made by the respondents’ agent to Charles Barnes that “It’s niggers like you who let trash like this in the apartment” constitutes newly discovered evidence. DECISION
