"A woman falsely accused a jazz musician’s 14-year-old son of stealing her cellphone — lunging at the teen during a wild caught-on-camera incident in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel. Footage of the altercation, posted by New York-based trumpeter Keyon Harrold, was shared widely on Sunday, with many saying it was yet another example of racial profiling and bogus accusations launched against black people -- the woman’s phone was returned to her by an Uber driver a few minutes after the incident. She didn’t apologize for the “traumatic” situation for his son, or to him, and neither did anyone at the hotel, Harrold said."
The nerve of this guy -- just because he thinks he is some hot shot Grammy award winning musician, he thinks he is entitled to certain things like respect and dignity...First of all, I am sure this woman had good reason to think his son stole her phone and she was within her right to put her hands on his son in order to retrieve her phone -- so what if she actually left her phone in someone's car -- she didn't know that at the time.....
From the video, you see how this guy assaulted this woman -- but of course he will claim that he was just trying to defend his son from her, yea right -- she had every right to try to apprehend your son and thankfully the hotel manager came out in support of her -- and now Mr. Harrold is complaining about not receiving an apology?? Really?? It is him and his thug son who should be apologizing for not complying with this woman like she demanded.
Black people sure ruined their reputation. There is a long road ahead for the black community to make up for all the crime and violence they commit regularly. It is going to take decades of good behavior for that trust to build, but i dont even think the good behavior will even begin for for many more decades.
Ruined their reputation from when??
When was this pristine reputation that black folks could cash in on??
You closet racists are goofy asf
Back imn the 60's there wasnt rampant murders in the black community and they werent murdering tons of white people back then either. They werent carjacking people, or rioting/looting cities, which is why they had so much support with civil rights.
If this story is accurate, then the woman was wrong, wrong, wrong.
She should apologize & offer financial compensation.
Sadly, an unusually large percentage of certain young gentlemen do engage in theft.
So it is understandable that the woman in the heat of the moment jumped to conclusions.
But that does not excuse her.
Everyone should be cautious before accusing someone of a crime without proof.
So it is understandable because you are saying that black teenagers steal cellphones all the time. Is that what you are saying?
As someone said there was very little black crime before the civil rights era kicked in......so what is the connection between the two?
Also it needs to be said that most blacks do not committ violent crime.....yet over half of all violent crime in America is committed by blacks.
Who are the blacks comitting all these violent crimes like rape, murder and aggravated assault....unfortunately it is young black males....who also kill more of their fellow blacks in one year than the KKK did in its entire era of violence.
Young black males compose appro. 2.5 percent of the total pop.
In order to solve a problem it must first be recognized.
There’s lots of talk about being too tough on crime. As Michael Bloomberg ran for president earlier this year he faced criticism for his “stop- and-frisk” policy when he was the m…
