This Worker Calls The Law On Us After She Seen My Kids In The Hotel Pool!

Hotel worker fired out the cannon after she called the law on a Black woman and her children.
A shift manager at a North Carolina Hampton Inn & Suites is fired out the cannon after she embarrassed a Black mother on business. The former worker called the law on her after she complained about her children being in the hotel's pool.

The woman identified as Anita Williams Wright was using the pool with her family in Williamston, North Carolina, a small town north of Greenville near the coast.

A worker approached her asking for proof they were guest at the hotel.

"It was two white people sitting over there. She said nothing to them," Wright said in a Facebook post on June 26. "She said to me, 'Oh because it's always people like you using the pool unauthorized.' Who's people like me?"



Then two cops would soon arrive to the hotel.

They confront her asking her to provide proof she is a guest at the hotel. Wright shows her key card, the employee asked her what room they were staying in.
A situation that was elevated over a guest sitting at a hotel pool.
"Why do I have to tell you what room I'm in?" Wright responds in the video. "What do I do wrong? This lady here is discriminating (against) me."

In the video, police and the hotel employee are heard asking for Wright's name. She declines to give it, saying she didn't break the law. The video then shows an officer running her car's license plate.

"I'm here on business with my kids in the pool," Wright says in the video.

About seven minutes after she started filming, Wright ushered her children out of the pool.

"You're degrading me like this in front of my kids," she said to the officers.

The video ends with Wright and her children entering an elevator to return to their room. It's been viewed over 1 million times and over 10,000 times on Instagram.

In the Instagram video, "I Can't Believe This Happened To Me And My Kids."




Hampton Inns & Suites, a Hilton brand had gotten word of the incident and were not pleased.
A woman who watching her children in the pool becomes the latest person to be harassed for being Black.
Now the worker is fired out the cannon and the company issued a formal apology.

"Hampton by Hilton has zero tolerance for racism and discrimination of any kind," Shruti Gandhi Buckley, global head of Hampton by Hilton, in an Instagram post on Monday.

"We have apologized directly to the guest and her family for their experience, and will work with them and the hotel to make this right," the post states. "We remain in contact with the hotel's ownership about follow-up actions, and to ensure that in the future, their employees reflect the best values of our brand and are welcoming of all."
