You are assuming this, or you have a video of the exchange where we can see the two of them?

And yet again, the pathetic cons on here show their racism yet again. Just can’t help yourself, can you? No matter what happens, no matter what the black person does or says, you will ALWAYS find fault with them. How sad is your life? So glad I’m not you.

I've never been the type of person who leaps to conclusions, and readily joins the lynch mob to convict someone over knee jerk assumptions. I'm sure there are video cameras at the entrance, have we seen them?

I just find it curious that this guy was so quick to whip out his phone and was able to start recording the entire exchange.

Yes there was, he is black.

She's white, so.... obviously she's a racial bigot, and probably a huge supporter of various white supremacist groups.

She should sue her employer for false accusations of racism and defamation of character. Would a racist person feel comfortable rationally reasoning with a person instead of calling 911 and reporting a suspicious “black” man?

Instead of?? She did call the police and report this man.

How was she giving him a break? He lives there. Isn't he entitled to enter his own building and proceed to his own apartment?

And you know this, how? And I suppose he was wearing a clean cut business suit too.

so this is how you saw it play out?:

She met a well dressed black man, as he properly entered the apartment building all on his own.

But since she hates black folks, and thinks black folk should have no place living in her building.... this was her chance to harass one of them.

She did her best to keep the black man out, and show him that his kind were not welcome.

however, his physically menacing presence was enough to make her fear for her safety, so she allowed him entrance.

Once inside the building, she followed him to his apartment, and then called the police, so they could further harass him.

Does that about sum it up, for the lynch mob perspective?.

I find it an incredibly smart move to protect yourself when faced with someone who is completely unreasonable. It's no longer a he said/she said situation. Her unreasonable behavior in the face of his calm and reasoned demeanor is what lost her her job. She has no one to blame but herself.

I hope she finds herself unable to afford that luxury apartment any longer. She can stand out on the street and watch him enter and exit unimpeded in the future, while SHE is the one who is locked out. That would be the perfect karmic ending.

What's curious about it? He was protecting himself from possible accusations from her. Honestly, in 2018, if you are in this kid of situation and have a camera on you and you don't "whip it out," I find that more curious.
