Doesn't matter. This girl has been tried and convicted in the court of City Data wingnuttery of being a racist and deserving of losing her job and pretty much having the course of her life permanently altered.

Ah, you assumed, because it makes rashly assuming this woman as a racial bigot, that much easier.



He's featured speaking towards the end of this video.
Make up you own mind how threatening he appears.

Here's a clue for you. I'm a woman - I would not stand blocking the way of a man who appeared physically threatening. No woman would. Sorry, there's only one conclusion here.




EDIT:
extended video of him here:

He was coming home from work, and he owns a finance company, so presumably he wasn't dressed like a homeless bum or a gangsta wannabe.

I'm white and I would have been glad to prove to her that I live there. He was rude, inconsiderate, and searching for the next viral racial incident.
Yes.

I am happy when cashiers ask for ID on credit cards, etc. Bc that is there to protect. Buzzing in works the same way. Unless I saw you every day, I'd not want you to follow in on my buzz, regardless of your race, etc.

We were told that Dr. Ford must be lying because she had no proof and waited so long before saying anything. Now we're told we're jumping to conclusions when this fellow recorded the incident and loaded it to social media immediately.

How about he showed he his ID (like I would have) and thanked her for being vigilant about building security? Imagine the doors that would open for anyone at his age with that attitude?

Can you imagine what the narrative would have been like from some people in this thread if the situation had reversed?

What if an outspoken black man was being aggressive and blocking a white woman from entering her apartment bldg., demanding information from her?

They’d cheer it on if he got shot. That’s how cons are.
