African-American millionaire finds note with racial slur in hotel room
NY Post ^ | July 7, 2018 | John Aidan Byrne

Posted on 07/07/2018 4:35:55 PM PDT by conservative98

An African-American millionaire and his Manhattan consultant son were victims of a July 4th hate crime in their hotel room during a Florida vacation.

A racist creep apparently snuck into Frank and Michael Davis’ room at the upscale Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota and left a 2-by-5 post-it note reading, “You’re a N—-R.”

After returning to their sixth-floor room from breakfast, the Davises found the sickening message placed on a globe-shaped bedside lamp.

“I was stone cold for 30 to 40 seconds when I read the note,” Michael Davis, 27, a consultant for a financial firm, told The Post.

“My first thought was, what did we do to deserve this? We tipped well, we were beyond nice to all the staff.”

Fearing for their lives, Michael and his parents called the police and the front desk. The Sarasota Police Department responded, but no suspects have been named.

The incident was especially wounding in light of Frank Davis’ lifelong efforts to promote diversity. The business executive has donated $5 million to his alma mater, Bucknell University, for a new building and for minority recruitment.

Seems unlikely. If you’re a wealthy business executive, you’re not going to do something like this.

How exactly do you sneak into somebodies room at an upscale hotel?

I’m thinking the racist creep is either Frank or Michael.

How many white hotel maids do you think there are in Sarasota Florida? Last time I was in St. Pete there weren’t many.
