An African-American millionaire and his Manhattan consultant son were victims of a July 4th hate crime in their hotel room during a Florida vacation.
A racist creep apparently snuck into Frank and Michael Davis’ room at the upscale Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota and left a 2-by-5 post-it note reading, “You’re a N—-R.”
After returning to their sixth-floor room from breakfast, the Davises found the sickening message placed on a globe-shaped bedside lamp.
“I was stone cold for 30 to 40 seconds when I read the note,” Michael Davis, 27, a consultant for a financial firm, told The Post.
“My first thought was, what did we do to deserve this? We tipped well, we were beyond nice to all the staff.”
Fearing for their lives, Michael and his parents called the police and the front desk. The Sarasota Police Department responded, but no suspects have been named.
The incident was especially wounding in light of Frank Davis’ lifelong efforts to promote diversity. The business executive has donated $5 million to his alma mater, Bucknell University, for a new building and for minority recruitment.

“Hoax?”
Maybe, or an idiot. The world has no deficiency of them.
Maybe not. Well, chance in a billion it's not.
Prolly.
These stories are supposed to Shock! and Dismay!
They just Bore me anymore...
Seems unlikely. If you’re a wealthy business executive, you’re not going to do something like this.
the story about it being a hoax will get a zillionth of the play that the actual hoax got.
Sure sounds like one.
His son could have.
Oprah again?
How exactly do you sneak into somebodies room at an upscale hotel?
I’m thinking the racist creep is either Frank or Michael.
Staged.
Brotha's gonna be outta a job if he don' find some racism somewhere.
Ooo, did my use of dialect come off as racist?
Well guess what?
I don't give a smelly obama.
Another leftist hoax. Ho hum.
“The business executive has donated $5 million to his alma mater, Bucknell University, for a new building and for minority recruitment.”

My grandaughter graduated just in time.
Whew!
The son is 27.
A note in Spanish ?
Or the illegal alien housekeeper from Guatemala.
How many white hotel maids do you think there are in Sarasota Florida? Last time I was in St. Pete there weren’t many.
And the likely author.
