A White hotel employee called the police on a guest, a Black woman and her children, who were using the hotel's swimming pool

Missy Williams-Wright, her son, 11, and daughter, 7, were staying at the Hampton Inn in Williamston, North Carolina, when a hotel employee called the police to report a trespassing, Williamston Police said in a statement on Monday. Williams-Wright tells CNN she was in town from Raleigh on business, and that she believes she was racially discriminated against because of the color of her skin.

— Hampton by Hilton June 29, 2020 Williams-Wright and her children stayed at the Hampton Inn through the weekend as she originally planned because she said she didn't want her kids to leave the hotel with the memory of police officers and hotel staff insinuating that they had done anything wrong."I was uncomfortable," Williams-Wright said."But I wanted to show my kids that even though we experienced this, we can move forward.

Total discrimination!

HOW THE F IS THIS NEWS? try harder CNN

The calling of police on Black people is breaking my heart. But will never end. You can pull down statues remove battle flags, but the hate that is felt for our skin will never change. This experience is teaching the children that they don’t belong and are not welcome.

In other news. Racist Karen at it again. No police brutality here. Move right along.

Similar thing happened to me in Vegas when I was locked out of my room. Guess what? I answered their questions so they could confirm I was a guest and that was that. Seems this mother was looking for a confrontation and got a hotel worker fired simply for following policy.

How about a more truthful headline, of wait cnn can’t tell the truth!

hope that family sue's the hotel

Girl! only us black people can relate to your story. Unfortunately, many people think this is impossible... wear our skin colour and u will see for yourself. 🙍🏽‍♀️

I’m confused. Why is color even mentioned here. Not a hotel guest!

This is crazy

Wait! Is that what she’d been told during employee orientation- call the cops, not the manager. That’s the facility’s policy she understood? Didn’t she wonder whatever happen to security? Disturbingly amusing work behaviour!

How about the whole story? Like why were the police called?

swimmingwhileblack

When will the hatred stop?

CNN, most racist name in news

First off I have questions? Before you report this, investigate this. I watched the video and saw where she went into the building. Notice she cut it off before she got to her floor/room OR did I miss that?!?!?!?!?

nice misleading headline. again...

Yes I understand the whole point of this situation and how absurd it is but All CNN is doing is stirring the pot...🙄 They only show what they know is going to get people worked up and what they know will lead to a future profit. Get out the system and read a book....🕊

Arrest that white person who called police

People comment all this shit about CNN creating racism from this story. So closing our eyes to this stuff, sticking our fingers in our ears and never having a conversation about this is gonna do what exactly? End racism? You guys just want to be ignorant.

Maybe “white” employee was just checking ID’s to make sure all users are registered with the hotel and “black” guests did not want to comply. Gotta love how cnn always put “colors” in the article. But when blacks committed crimes, no color is mentioned.

White racism at its best...... this is a different type of “Karen” to addd to the list...

Who said that to start again is to fail again? to start again is to dream again, it is to live again ... And as many times as necessary, you keep insisting ... Do not accept, do not allow, nor resign yourself to go through this life without trying to be Happy ... 😊

Some more training to cops...and educated.

I hope the police charged to employee who called them.

Wow...

You are masters in race baiting. You see everything through race. Only racists do that.

It's regrettable that this is still happening in 2020

Black folks can no longer be guests in hotels What has racism turned humanity into Smh

'internal investigations' by the police department regarding police related incidents is a HUGE part of the whole problem.

Give me a break😡😡 Why did she call police.

So all she had to do was tell them what room she was in? Why cause the drama? They had cause to believe she wasnt a guest. So what. She was black, whoopty shit. Being black isn't an excuse to cause a scene by not answering a simple question. She made herself look bad.

I live in a community where I could do this. A new apartment community with a nice pool. Known in the neighborhood for good swimming. BUT seriously. Call the cops? Management sucks then. Have some cajones and approach people and discuss before calling for help like a snowflake.

Fired......wtf?

I’m so tired of these bird brained chicks! Arrest them for filing a false police report!

Typical racist white people think every person of color is up to no good, meanwhile they never questioned the other white families to see if they were guest or not. But yeah racism dies nit exist, ugh.

Labels are unnecessary...

You know what would sound better? Hotel employee called police on woman and her children. CNN is nothing but a bunch of race baiting pos

Only in America....

Get em!!! Enough

Talk about creating division. The white employee. What is employee was black and called the police , is there still a story. CNN is a joke and so is the person who wrote this

Why divide us so much?

BARELY heard of this stuff in the past. You would think there was at least a claim that at least 1 of them were doing something. Could be a lie that someone was doing something, but, people normally don't call to say a black person, etc. are present. Sounds part crazy.WHOLEstory?

And this is going to be your news for the next 20 years folks. White person does something, black person effected. Funny story, that “Karen” in Central Park who called the cops on that black guy is a Hillary Clinton supporter. 😂

Here we go again 🙂 This needs to stop.

Typical CNN race baiting!

We’re they guests?

That unconscious bias training is a fckn joke. Most places it’s a 20 minute online class once a year.

Really

_ReaalAmerican_ The way the police handle these situations is telling. It's always guilty until proven innocent with them when it comes to African Americans. White folks call the police because on African Americans because the police always assume the person of color is guilty of something.

Time for the media to stop giving attention to these racist beasts.

Mihoko_Nojiri The guest was a very unfriendly Karen, who happens to be Black. Nothing more.

Does this RacistCunt STILL have a job?

Some people

My question is how many time black has call police for white

If the woman didn't have ID they would now allowed her in at the first place, the white woman who call the police is wrong, why can't she go to the reception and asked questions if she will worry, they always Afraid of people like them who run the same blood, fucking rubbish

This short tweet is not race-baiting at all.

SHAME SHAME

She was in her car as her kids were in the pool... then refused to show proof she was a guest!... but she’s not a “Karen” she’s racial discriminated against. DefenseIntel defundCIA what protection.

CNN doing what it does best promoting racism and further dividing the country. Great job yet again.

These damn white people. Karen Democrat.

Who fucking cares

Super dangerous.

We're they guests?

Another paranoid nut... This is so out of control! What the hells wrong with you at the hotel?! Time to get a job where there's no ppl!

We will know we’ve reached equality once the media starts reporting every crime committed by a black person against a white person.

She is videoing the situation, why not let us hear the whole video? Anytime the hotel employee spoke, it was muted. I did not watch all the way through because not all voices could be heard so you cannot hear both sides, just hers.

This makes the news? 🤦🏻‍♀️

What about all the Jewish folks that are being assaulted by young black males in NYC every day, no coverage there even though it's a hate crime

there is NO way that someone can say she was within distance of watching her kids from her car. NONE

So the title should include who were using the pool unattended..

What is going on in this country is a shame. those who call the police because of their hatred of black people should be tried and imprisoned. How in the US do you accept this kind of barbaric, savage behavior? It’s a shame. The other countries look at the usa, shocked.

I’ve had this happen. Showed my room key and id. Problem solved...

F**king racist

How is this news. So now you dont have a right to call cops on black. CNN is just a race baiting fake news network.

ALL RACE ALL THE TIME

That’s a disgusting, despicable act. Ppl r out of control

Why is this news?

Is this 1939?

Only the corrupt CNN would headline racism. Fake news all the way. CNN never tells the truth.

Quit doing that shit.

Why is this a race story? cnn loves stirring shit up.

Groundbreaking reporting CNN. Fucking groundbreaking. I see awards in your future for this fantastic piece. Amazing job.

Once again: To my fellow white people, mind your damn business! Thank you.

She no longer works there, ACAB, and refund the police.

One needs to ask motives for bring up every possible divisive story. Even though the pool was already ordered closed.

Outright race baiting. Intentional highlighting of races.

How is this still happening?!

I remember one of my black friends telling me he an his family were coming over to swim and not to worry it does not was off.

Another Karen. Twitterverse, do your thing...

America has gone to the 🐕 s.

More than likely, the lady refused to show proof that she was a guest and the proceeded to play the race card. I am embarrassed to say that I have done the same thing in the past.

Fire her

Individuals can make mistakes and be stupid but CNN trying to stir a race war is the real crime.

Basically a woman didn’t obey the law and a hotel employee called a cops cause otherwise he’ll be fired. CNN is racist trash network.

Still going on, wow! Another job vacancy! 😢😢

What’s your point, exactly? Oh, wait. I know. It’s because you want to imply that blacks are now entitled to do anything they want, and CNN can continue to stir the pot. We’re not buying it and, overall, the US is NOT a racist country.

Aren’t pools closed? Asking for all the Karen cops out there.

Anything on the media regarding black people is gold to social media because they know it's something petty like this story that will get the people going.

When will racism stop! This is rediculous and the COPS are just as bad as the white woman!!

Lots of colors thrown around in this headline.

Did this really deserve to be a national story? It almost seems like you are trying to stoke division in this country.

How absolutely stupid!! What’s wrong with that employee other than being a racist pig! Just ask her what’s the room number! Why call the cops? Other than trying to be somebody! Stupid!!!!

A grandfather was killed today in front of a 3 year old kid by Pakistani terrorists in Kashmir , where has Humanity gone , Shame on Pakistan for killing a grand father in front of a kid , Shame on ImranKhanPTI Shame on OfficialDGISPR

Omg! Ppl are going crazy in the USA !

“...kids unattended in pool...” pack it up this is crying wolf and the woman on Facebook live is the real Karen here.

I mean, come on. Just tell them your room number.

She left her children unattended, while she was sitting in her car. I'm sure this appeared to be someone who brought their kids to swim in the pool, but were not guests. It would be unsafe to approach the car. Let's focus on the serious discrimination issues faced by POC.

this is all we need t know ... 'Hampton Inn staff told two responding officers that during hourly inspections of the hotel they had spotted two unattended children swimming in the pool'

CNN predictably, inserts racism into the story with 'White vs. Black Victim' headline.🤮 A more accurate headline: Out of safety concerns and a clear violation of Hotel Guest Rules, Employee calls police on Mother after finding her unattended children swimming in hotel pool.

Ignorance

F U C K Y O U C N N

Why doesn't CNN at least make a feeble attempt to tell the story truthfully, instead of trying to start a race war?

At anytime before making the call, did her brain say this can not be a good idea. Common sense is just gone. Is the pool so important that a black mother would sneak in just so her child could get in the pool. Is it always racism or in some cases are people just IGNORANT

Helloooo race bait.

Everyone needs to read the story before commenting. 1. Mother was not near children,who were in the pool 2. Mother was in the parking lot in her car on the phone. 3. Mother was uncooperative towards police. The mother pulling the 'race card' is the biggest issue IMO

So employee couldn’t determine if she was a guest. Woman was in her car while her kids were swimming. Didn’t show room key until police asked for it? Employee followed company policy by calling police. Making something out of noting

Hotel employee floats dead in pool.

Если они были постояльцы этого хотела то никто бы не позвал полицию....а если с улицы пришли, так понятно , что их выгнали...

Divide and Conquer!!!! Good Job Clicks and Ratings.... Clicks and Ratings!!!! Media is Evil!!!!

All the white people in chat mad their racism is being reported

Biggest obstacle to change not the rich but those who have had ot hard and want everyone to know hardship at the risk of invalidating theor lives! We have technology and a consumer economy we no longer need to tax individuals just wealth centers line stock trading and sales

White the fuck is going on with these people

Such a typical story. Gotcha.....

Hey Racist Now imagine them WHITE.😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

If life would hv been that simple as the headlines. I sincerely hope people not create a perception. Media is here ,paid by some To create a propaganda

This is just insane now

Race baiters

CNN is not news, it's gossip

'Kolappa said the hotel will revisit their practices and only call law enforcement in the event of illegal activity or a threat to employees or guests.' THIS. SHOULD. HAVE. BEEN. THE. POLICY. IN. THE. FIRST. PLACE.

LYING MEDIA TRASH!

Unbelievable and unacceptable

isnt that what you told us all to do for protestors of the lockdown? do you even hear yourself? wow, just wow...

If anyone cared to read the article and not just the headline... the woman was in her car while her kids were swimming unattended and refused to provide ID when asked. Employee followed hotel protocol as well. Stop labeling everyone racist and get facts.
