      Four brilliant Black women checked out of their @Airbnb. A white woman outside waved at them and they didn't wave back. So she called the police. Then helicopters & a slew of police cars swarmed the area. I've spoken to these sisters - who are shaken up, but pressing on.pic.twitter.com/dpZRUljycI

          Part of the problem, in my opinion, is these people segregate themselves so much that seeing a POC in the neighborhood would seem odd. I can’t imagine living in a neighborhood like that.

          The main problem is always their racism. All excuses otherwise fail. I don't need "people that look like that" to live near me to know they are allowed to be in my neighborhood without me being informed of their presence. She acted on no information other than her ignorance.

          Very true. You are right, the true root cause of all of this is pure racism. Assuming the worst of someone based on just looking at them.

          I doubt she really thought they were stealing but she knew the harm calling the police and conniving whatever story she told them, could do to these women. What would she know about that house if she hadn't see they were staying there already? They had suitcases and sunhats

          I have many neighbors and I couldn't even begin to presume to know who should or shouldn't be at their homes. Some ask that I watch their house if they go away and then I give extra attention. Otherwise I'll need to see "actions of theft" not just people I don't recognize.

          Guess she knows now! The Airbnb owners might want to amend their listing to say “must wave to white neighbors upon checkout.”

          Q: are any of the black women or all and the mother of the native American boys filing harassment charges against the white women and if not, why and how do we make that happen. Those white women need to be charged with harassment asap.

          Interesting how my city will send me a $100 bill for a false alarm on my security system but I guess no one is sending this neighbor a bill for calling the police for a false alarm 🤔
