If that's her job? Absolutely. Once he's proven he lives there, which he did. It's over. Anything else is harassment.

I didnt come to ATS to read biggotted racially inflammatory posts.....I have many times stopped people from coming into my building if they look sketchy black red white yellow purple I don't care what color they are because I don't see the world only in colors ....if you look sketchy and you are in a common area where I live I will demand you say where you live and who you are and I will DEMAND YOU PROVE IT TO ME ....if you don't like that then bite me.
I think you can factor in that Pushback While Black is not necessarily a life promoting practice. Investigate Black parents and 'The Talk'.

How do you know this is because he's black and not because he's a man?

I worked in the rail yard in east saint Louis one time in the mid 90s.
It was at night and they sent an armed guard to escort us to the load.... spooky..
it ain’t just black people. That’s why I don’t buy into it. When I had long hair I was pulled over and searched 7 times in 8 weeks. Once the cop told me it was because I was driving 50 in a 55

Sometimes I wonder if racial tensions are higher than they have ever been.

Watch the whole video.
My heart sank for this guy, being harassed just for trying to go home.
What I love even more is what he said after:
"I want to say thanks for all the love and support, it is really hitting me a little bit more now, but I most say I will turn this negative into a positive Future for the world I influence, & don’t bash the women just send her positive waves of energy, and let’s be great people this our world & this message is to everyone of all ages/ races/ colors/! We only get one life so let’s make the most of it & be great, no time for negativity!"
I have a bad temper that rarely rears it's head but I don't think I could have been as calm during an harassment like this, or the aftermath. I like this young man, he is a truly an inspiration for all of us. People can only get to you if you allow them!
Something seemed off about that interaction. First, if she was scared of the guy, why did she get on elevator with him? What woman gets on an elevator alone with a guy she supposedly is frightened by?
Yes, these "microagressions" happen. Every black person has a story we can share. However, these slights, no matter how annoying are not definitive of life in America by in large.
