Thread: African-American family finds racist note in hotel room, businessman says

It's someone who works for the hotel who had access to the room, so they know who it was or have narrowed it down to a small group of employees. It's a racial slur and a wrongful act no matter who did it or what their race is.

Okay, that still doesn't mean it wasn't a black person using the term. How can a black person be racist against another black person? How can a white person be racist against another white person? You and I both know, after reading the article, it is assumed the guilty party is not black. I'm just asking why that is. There is no proof of what the guilty persons race is, which means it may not have been intended as a racial slur.

I certainly think Mr. Davis was within his rights to report the note to the hotel manager, however, I think he overreacted when he called the police.

Who cares what race the person was making the insult? Sneaking into someone's hotel room while they're at breakfast and leaving a big ugly note in their room calling them the "N" word? They weren't saying hi, they weren't leaving them a greeting, they did this to insult and scare them, which is exactly what they did. Not sure what your issue is with them calling the police so it can be investigated.

I believe you do and I also believe you assumed the guilty party is white. In my opinion, that's why you posted the story.
