Two employees seen on video asking a black guest to leave a Portland, Oregon, hotel after he took a phone call in the lobby have been let go, the facility said Saturday on Twitter.

The incident took place December 22 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland.
===========================================================
Jermaine Massey was in the hotel lobby when a security guard informed him that police were on their way to escort him off the property.

But he was a registered guest at the hotel.

'Through his attorneys, Massey has asked the Portland DoubleTree to explain why they considered him a threat to hotel security, and why security even questioned him in the first place.'

What does race have to do with it? (Says the hammer to the nail?)

In this case, apparently everything. If it was a white guy do you think this would have happened this way?

I've only half read on this but I believe there were other patrons in the lobby. No idea of their race but also not hearing of any other guests being removed from the property. Be interesting to hear from them.

Once when I was shopping at Walmart I saw a black guy talking on his Bluetooth. He was loud, cussing, making derogatory comments, etc. I was tempted to approach him and tell him he needed to chill because there were kids in the store. I probably would have had he been a white guy, but this kind of thing makes me nervous. It really makes me wonder how the guy was behaving in the lobby before he started recording.

No, this is Portland Oregon. The only people living there are liberals and antifa scum.

He was just talking to his mom on the phone.

Yeah, there is something missing in this story.

That's because you didn't read the article. It's all there. Why is it so hard to accept maybe the guy was just a racist?

And that's a fair question.

If he wasn't before, he is now. Good job creating another racist.

Yes, he is black so he just had to be doing something wrong. Even if the hotel itself describes it as mistreatment and discrimination, it just had to be the niggers fault, right?

Right, because Massey isn't the first black guest these two guys have seen at the hotel.

Or maybe the guy was causing a nuisance. It’s funny to watch people jump the gun before all the facts are out.

Like the chipotle manager who got her job back after exculpatory tweets showing that the dark skinned people were intending to steal food

This case is different. The hotel investigated and fired them after 5 days.
