Black in America: Guest escorted from Hotel

 
Casper 2018-12-29 14:54:59 

A Black hotel guest says he was targeted because of his race after a security guard called the police on him, then had him booted from the hotel altogether, leaving him to find new accommodations in the middle of the night.


Jermaine Massey‘s first trip to Portland, Ore., was off to a great start after seeing rapper Travis Scott in concert Sunday night. Things quickly went left, however, when Massey, 34, returned to the DoubleTree Hotel where he was staying and took a call from his mom in the lobby.

Maybe he should have had a white wife, as you do, with him at the hotel.

There must be reason for your (tongue in cheek?) post? Are you now dating Commie or something?

Huh?

This casper/ProWi guy is so paranoid about white folks.
Yet i understand he is married to a white lady! What is his problem?

Racism and class prejudice exist from creation, it is never going to end.

In reply to nitro Your last sentence...certain people will never accept it. Everywhere should be uptopia for them. Anyway, here's two phrases & try ponder the above situation & of course we know how loud we are as a people: Silence is golden & silence speech is a sign of refinement! Btw, I remember once, my British-Guyneez-Jewmaycan cousin & I were on the NYC subway, standing & chatting silently on the train...know what? All the white folks were looking at us! Take a guess at why they were!?

cool
confused sad

In reply to Cheeks What are we talking about, run on sentences etc etc? Ok, you are brite & Im not! In every multicultural/racial societies there will tension/angst/hostility, but it takes a certain kind leadership (Singapore) to mitigate those tensions...but, somehow the USA is always singled out as a racist country & yet people are willing to die to get here! Wtf man. A white majority country but, socihitist immigrates of a certain ilk, want nonwhite, nonchristian, nonenglish speaking economic migrants to sit at the table with angloAmericans eating steak, mashed potatoes...then washing it down with cold beers! It aint going to work! Will take some generations...

evil twisted

Nothing to do with run on sentences..even though you're a bit difficult to follow.

All to do with somehow trying to blame black people because they don't walk around with their heads down in silence.

America has a big problem that is being stoked by its president for political gain. You seem to think that you're honorary white...and that black/brown people must silently hol dem corner.

You's a good ............ insert whatever you want.

Not to mention you seem to think that what is required for a harmonious society is structure where the traditionally powerful lord themselves over the poor.

Totally agree, well stated smile

ADMIN,
Please take a look at this statement below by poster Nitro. Isn't this a violation of your rules? Surely poster Nitro should be warned, at minimum.

Huh?

When you ask a question, expect some straightforward answers in the mix. The answer you are hoping for, very often, is not there. Accept what yuh get, explain, and move on.

Now, why were they looking at you guys in that paranoid US?

 
BeatDball 2018-12-30 13:49:04 

In reply to TheTrail Why? My good man, they couldnt believe that here was two black blokes who were quietly having a conversation & totally oblivious to the surrounding! You know, we were chatting & not looking about the train; just totally ignoring everyone & everything. Here's one more...very late 80s, I was on the subway with this huge Grenadian, both coming from John Jay College...the train was somewhat crowded & at one stop, the huge grenadian step off to let a white bloke off...man, he gave a look of disbelief! He couldnt believe that this huge black bloke was polite enough to step aside & make way easier for him to exit the train, while the grenadian totally ignored him nor waiting for a thank you!!! Btw, have noticed how native born Americans would push pass you & then say, excuse me...whereas Caribbean folks (most of the time) would first ask, then try to walk past?

cool wink

This is completely and utterly disgusting. That Earl guy and the hotel manager need to be held accountable for their actions.

I am not surprised about this at all. I had a similar experience at the Hilton in China...two yrs ago.
