A DoubleTree hotel in Portland, Ore., has fired two employees involved in an incident in which a black guest had police called on him while he was talking on the phone in the hotel lobby.

A message posted on the DoubleTree Portland's Twitter account Saturday said the treatment of Jermaine Massey, who was staying at the hotel while visiting the area from Washington state, was "inconsistent" with the hotel chain's "standards & values."

"We have terminated the employment of the two men involved in the mistreatment of Mr. Massey. Their actions were inconsistent with our standards & values. We reiterate our sincere apology for what he endured & will work with diversity experts to ensure this never happens again," read the message.

I mean I still don't get why they harassed him. He was a guest using a space open to guests, to talk on the phone. What did he do wrong?

Merry Christmas fuckboys!

Racism is a helluva drug. To people like that, the act of seeing a brotha in a space they've determined we shouldn't be is all they need.
