Jermaine Massey, a guest of the DoubleTree hotel in Portland, was in the lobby speaking to his mother on his cell phone when a security guard informed him that police were on their way to escort him off the property. Massey explained that he was a guest of the hotel, and the guard replied:
“Not anymore.”
Then the hotel manager got involved, phoning the police to have Massey removed, even though Massey showed the two men his keycard envelope with the room number and date written on it. But when police arrived, and learned he was a guest, he was still told to collect his things and leave the hotel because … he was a black man on a phone in a hotel lobby and that’s apparently a criminal offense in the minds of the security guard and the manager.
Luckily, Jermaine documented the event on his cell phone, because now, even though he was removed from the hotel, the security guard—Earl—and the manager—Luis—have been fired.
And while that is all well and good, what the hell is wrong with people? Why do people, even a security guard and desk clerk, call the police on a man who has proven he is a guest at the hotel? If he was being loud, politely ask him to lower his voice, but calling the police? What in the hell is wrong with people?
Oh, yeah, there’s a racist in the white House so racism is rearing its ugly fat head.

ReplyDeleteI agree about Warren. Like her, but she'll never win.
Thanks for the family update.
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to wake up to Carlos' Tale.
A conservative woman at my work said how much she "loves" Nikki Haley and she "hopes she will be our first woman president!" and I nearly vomited.

ReplyDeleteWarren's going to run, she won't win, But she will stoop low and run diversionary tactics such as calling the Idiot Jerk a liar... to his face. This will help her in the future.
ReplyDeleteNikki? Left the administration so she could run her own campaign. When that happens the number of Evangelical rats jumping from the Idiot Jerk's ship will be incomprehensible. They love her... they really love her.
Warren will not win, I agree. But she’ll give us life gettin in Cheeto’s face.
