African-American millionaire finds note with racial slur in hotel room

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.

Absolutely hoax

Jim Jordans fault,”May” have known about it.

Fakeroo.

I’m guessing “Manhattan consultant son” isn’t as well-heeled as his rich Pop, and is looking for a payout from the hotel, using his parents as “witnesses.”

Sorry, smells like hoax to me. “...life long struggle to promote diversity...”. This translates into, “I’m a lying Lefty thug who wouldn’t mind seeing some whitey get butt raped for this, just for voting against HRC...”

[butlerweave]

Maybe he wants to get out without paying his bill ,LOL

Management for the hotel, part of the Marriott chain, was far less responsive than the cops, Michael Davis said. While the hotel refunded all the Marriott points the family had used on their planned six-day visit, it refused to move them to a comparable location. The Davises checked into a hotel two hours away.

I wonder how long they had been staying there when the event happened. I also wonder if there are security cameras in the hallways which would show who was roaming the hallway at that time

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.

He spends millions promoting minority student enrollment, which typically means accepting less-qualified minorities over more qualified non-minorities, and being called a name is "especially wounding"? He supports affirmative action discrimination, but is stung when discrimination touches him.

The writer of the note, if not a hoax, is an idiot. If they somehow accessed his room without authorization, they should be put up on charges for it. If they had authorization by working at the hotel, then they should lose their job because of the breach of the client's trust.

But this millionaire is a snowflake.

Hoax, 100%

[Wissa]

Seems unlikely. If you’re a wealthy business executive, you’re not going to do something like this.

Next time I'll bet he stays in a hotel with locks on the doors, where people can't just sneak in.

Hoax, BS, load of Crap, whatever you want to call it...

****

I call BULLSH*t. Why would an idiot sneak in the room when they can easily write “the note” on the door or just slip under the door? Just sayin...

[Lazamataz]

“You’re a N_____R!”

Well, he could very well be a Northerner, a Narrator, or a Newscaster!

Or maybe the fellow was being friendly, and was telling him, “You’re a NEIGHBOR!”

[max americana]

see my post 31.

You DONT need to sneak in and write a “racist note” when you can SLIP IT UNDER THE DOOR or tape on the door.

I call bullcrap on this clown who simply hats whitey..

[cherry]

there’s video of everyone in that hallway....we’ll find out pretty soon whether Mr. Millionaire is telling the truth.

[Regulator]

Gosh, this is terrible!

Now imagine how bad it would be if someone of another race had run over them with a car like these folks in Minnesota!

Of course, since they were from the Evil White Race, it's basically no big deal that a black guy (er, 'driver') who just happens to be an immigrant from Africa decided to just run over them.

Isn't it interesting that you didn't hear about this on See-BS? No big deal at all. Unlike leaving nastygrams for somebody, which is apparently WAY WORSE because, well...the races were reversed.

[Publius]

Or a “nagger.” (”South Park” reference)

[liberalh8ter]

I’m going with hoax until the perp is caught.

[jmaroneps37]

Sorry don’t believe it try again.

[wastedyears]

I’ll take “Things That Never Happened” for $400, Alex.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’m sorry, if this is true.

But it’s alot like the story the other day of “offense”.

WHY does a little note deserve a police call?

Seriously? Why is it this one word is SOOOO taboo that it’s worth calling police?
