A white man harassed a black family at the pool of a Westin hotel in Pasadena, California, going on a rant about “diseases” and asking whether a 5-year-old girl was clean enough to swim in the pool. The girl’s mother, Carle Wheeler, filmed the man’s rant and posted it on Facebook.
According to Wheeler, the man approached the family “under the pretense” that he worked for the health department. “I simply asked them if they’d showered. I’m sorry,” he says in the video Wheeler posted. “I’m tired of getting in pools people consider baths.”
“No hotel security or staff was around to stop his verbal harassment,” Wheeler wrote. “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,” she continued.

Black people are humans too even tho I’m white I think white people should just stop this racism stuff we’re all the same humans
Sounds like you need a better scrub brush to get the black off.
Your shirt is very disturbing
These mf brought diseases to america
How is asking a question racist? He has every right to ask anyone he wants a question, she has every right not to answer him, but she doesn't have the right to cause a scene and start yelling and screaming. But from my experience most black women are hot-headed, rude and obnoxious. And then you guys turn it around and call it racist, unbelievable.
I want your larry david shirt
white alert 🚨
oh that dude look like my dad but if my dad is being racist i’ll tell mom that he’s being racist
Hmm… How ignorant! Black people spent hundreds of years being robbed of their virtues by white men; acting as wet nurses and bed warmers etc. for white families and have the DNA to prove it! Why is it that we were (i.e., Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne) and are considered "too dirty" to swim in chlorinated pools? Black comedians frequently joke about whites not washing their hands after using restrooms. Black people, in my experience, do not kiss their dogs on the mouth and don't have them lick plates. That is because as servants throughout our history in the Americas we were the keepers of household hygiene, not the violators of it.
Why are is your name same as hindu god?
That shirt looks pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Wait until tbey 2 heaven and see that jesus is black lol
Yea fuck tbem tbey think they better tben us not so
Hmm… He is talking about disrespect while wearing that shirt. Mohamed killed Chriatians and was a warlord and I would still not wear a shirt disrespecting Mohamed. Christ was a carpenter who only thought and performed miracles, but you wear his cross upside down.
So rude
I trust a woman who so articulately describes uber racism….
Horrible t-shirt. Seek help.
Yup…..more made up racism
LOL…..you think that it about racism…maybe they just want people to shower instead of using the pool as a shower… COMPLEX is paid by SOROS………everything in America sucks…thanks COMPLEX….
im white, and i never ran thru those showers b4 getting into the pool…..and i love when old ppl get on rants about it…..i put them in the same category as tree huggers, vegans and global warming ppl 😛
(theres a reason pools use chlorine)
Where the fuck was this guy when some fat white women was shaving her legs in the fucking pool🤔

“SWIMMING WHILE BLACK”
Me: You can swim while white after being black? (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)
God must know not to let me run into these type of people
White people are funny. It's like they are always thinking of ways to be hateful to other races, meanwhile I an going to school and taking advantage of my opportunities. But when I achieve a nice lifestyle through hard work they want to say it's affirmative action, or welfare.
White people are so amusing to me. I just humbly take what they dish and keep moving.
Why are whites on here so mad 😂. CONTROL YOUR RACE. Teach them not to be racist
aren't republican values great?
