Mr. Lindner offers the family more money than they paid for the house in return for them simply not moving into his neighboorhood. Since they would be moving into an all white occupied community he sincerely believes it would be in their best interest for them not to move in. His actions offend the family since neither side is taking into consideration the other sides perspective.

Perspective
The picture below, taken from Run 4 Change, has two men expressing their opinion on how deep they believe the water is. When the one man says it's deep because it's up to his chin, the other contradicts him and says it isn't because to him it's just a puddle. They see the water from two completely different angles and don't even try to relate to one another. This can be seen in A Raisin in the Sun when Mr. Lindner (a white man) doesn't understand the (black) Younger family's way of thinking.
