Another day, another racist exposed.
On Wednesday, an African American mother took to Facebook to share the unfortunate realities of being black in America.
In the incident that occurred on June 11, Carle Wheeler, a software developer and single mother, said a white man approached her and her five-year-old daughter at the pool at the Westin Hotel in Pasadena, California, and asked if the two had showered.
“The man asked if me and my little girl had showered before getting into the pool because people carry diseases into the pools and he doesn’t want the health department to shut the pool down,” Wheeler wrote. “Minutes later he approached us again on the opposite end of the pool under the pretense that he worked for the health department. No hotel security or staff was around to stop his verbal harassment. At that point I called BS and I confronted him on what appeared to be blatant racism.”

“I let him know that being black is not a disease and showering would not wash the BLACK off our skin. I think it’s awful that ANY man would think it’s okay to essentially ask a woman and a little girl if we took off our clothes and scrubbed our naked bodies before getting into a hotel swimming pool,” she continued.

The incident escalated, as additional parties came to Wheeler’s defense. However, once the hotel’s general manager, Carl Sprayberry, got involved, the white man was released without incident. It wasn’t until several white witnesses, who were in the jacuzzi at the time and also never approached by the man about their hygiene, condemned the manager for his decision that he agreed to view the tapes to identify and locate the man.

After the entire ordeal, Wheeler and her family checked out and the hotel released a statement, denouncing the man’s comments.
