We issue permanent bans for doxxing and targeted harassment campaigns. That means asking for or posting personal information such as business names, people’s names, etc.
Also? Yall made Shiloh Hendrix famous and a near millionaire by sharing her name and crowdfunding link.
You might mean well but yall always end up naming random ass people/businesses and getting innocent people harassed. Or, you make racist cunts rich.
There are THREE different businesses name dropped as this complex in the comment section that I’ve come across so far. They can’t all be the right one, but yall are calling and review bombing all three.
"Karen and her buddy called the police on me and my children because we were the only Blacks at the pool, after I showed them proof that I stay here, she requested , asking for my identification. Like who brings ID to a swimming pool?
Anyway, the police came and I intelligently explained I don’t have to show them SHIT! I paid good money like everyone else, except I am Black. Karen was all smiles until the police told them, I don’t have to show them anything.
This really traumatized my children. I might sue these people. This world is terrible, she saw my child crying and begin smiling more. Just for
That I got into the pool and played with my boys."
Also, according to his Facebook page, she called the police on them a second time. He went to the front desk to ask for their names, they refused, so he went back to his room, and then the police came knocking on his door saying that she had called him in for harassment. He verbally describes it in a video from his hotel room's balcony.
His second video's description is:
They actually called the police on me a second time when I went to the front desk to ask their names. They NEVER give them to me and were extremely rude to my children and me.
How ironic. They call the police on a black man because he wouldnt identify himself but then when asked for their identification, they refuse to give it to him.
They don't see the irony. They think because of social hierarchy they get to dictate rules for others that they aren't themselves bound too. He should definitely bring a civil suit against the couple and the community for allowing this to get this far.
I commented that one of the issues in America is that half the country still thinks it’s a white mans country and the other half thinks it’s a country where everyone is equal and those two groups can’t agree on an answer, and I got massively downvoted
I've noticed on Reddit that sometimes you can be spouting obvious, clear-as-fucking-day truth, and will still get downvoted bc some simply don't like to hear it. It's not that your post is inaccurate or irrelevant or off topic...they just don't want to read it, it hits a bit too close to home, or they can't argue with it since it's true...so you just get a bunch of butthurt downvotes and zero responses.
Dude, I wanted him to stand up and do a full on “THIS. IS. CHICAGO!!!!” kick her into the pool. Lol. Of course, he’s far too sane and level headed to do that. Those poor boys. That broke my heart.
To those saying the dad could have prevented traumatizing his kids by complying- while I can see that being a first reaction, stop a minute and think about it. Some of the best life lessons are scary to learn, but the dad had a great, safe opportunity (community pool, no big group of racists, no weapons present) to show his kids how to be calm while at the same time standing up for themselves. Too much unnecessary compliance by people who shouldn't have to is large part of what is intensifying the divides in our society. Had he complied, he would have taught both his kids and the Karens that what was being done was okay. I'm sure the Karens felt no shame, but I hope they were embarrassed. And I hope the dad and kids had a great talk over dinner. (And if the dad has any legal recourse, I hope he pursues it.)
Usually de-escalation is the smart choice if you are a human being living in a society... like seriously, a lot of people die thanks to unnecessary escalation. You did some dumb shit? Just say sorry, be humble and respectful, leave.
From what people told here, the "Karen" is the one escalating things and she's lucky the dad is just being "neutral", some crazy people out there would go after her for revenge to protect their kids against someone with ill intent calling the cops.
I'm not american but I respect you for standing up for yourself. It's shame you have to deal with this in 2026 but know that you are no different from anyone else regardless of such bad experiences. I hope your children won't have to deal with this shit in the future.
All the best from Europe. We also need to step it up here...
Sadly not shocking if you grew up around assholes like this. I'd be email carpet bombing the executives of the private equity that owns this complex until they gave me a few months' free rent to keep me from suing them.
It stops when people beat the shit out of the Karen before the cops get out there
Violence works really well on racists, words don't
If more racists had their racism met with immediate fists to their mouths until unconscious, they would feel less comfortable doing this in public.
They would, you know, learn its wrong and either stop or hide their desire which either way solution was reached.
Unfortunately racists are bullies and bullies only understand one language, so society must express itself very very clearly to correct their misunderstanding
Obviously kids there so can't educate this elderly evil bitch, but in other situations without children a public ass beating is self defense since racism is deadly.
My parents had to explain it to me when I was 4. This is why I look at certain white people sideways when they worry about how learning about racism at the tender age of 14 will impact their darling children. I had already had multiple events happen to me by then, but none of them care about that.
Sue them and get that woman fired! I hope everyone she knows sees this and realizes what kind of person she is! What a ghoul!
I am so sorry you and your kids had to experience that. Breaks my heart. Keep your head up and remember their days are numbered. The world will keep turning and her crusty, boney, geriatric azz will be left behind.

Unfortunately this is just common for us. I remember similar experiences as a kid and I’d say it’s basically a rite of passage. You see the world differently after that.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of these weak ego, scaredy cat, racist fucks with their crocodile tears and accusatory mindsets... This the type of shit we have to deal with every damn day. If we don't see it, it's in the back of our minds and our kids have to learn and be aware of it.
Heartbreaking.
This country has a history of racism, systemic racism that a third of this country still denies. Even now, that we can easily capture it on a phone.
And then you see other people around just enjoying the pool, untargeted. Not profiled. Fuck Amerikkka and these people who continue to make it such a shit place.
My kids have told me to leave the situation, they've cried just like this young man, afraid I'd go to jail or be hurt. But no. We confront this shit.
Damn that part about there being no next chapter hits hard. That is it for many people and this video will most likely just solidify it. Perhaps she can grow from the experience but that's just so so unlikely..
Ours just sit in their office all day and ignore calls and keep their doors locked. :\
Thankfully our security is pretty helpful and can help with most issues, like collecting packages the delivery people were too lazy to bring to our doors or package lockers (gets locked up in the office instead.)
The institution of Police in the US has only ever been in place to protect the status quo and interests/assets of the rich. Believing anything else is just buying the lie they sold you. They are not, and never have been, about preserving the safety of the populace.
We had serial squatter family next door who called the cops on my family for walking on the sidewalk (they had multiple cameras set up and would also come outside to yell at people for starting their car to go to work at 8 am or coming home from work after 9 pm, saying it woke them up, saying everyone was drunk, calling us names etc). The cops would come and chastise us even though they admitted nothing illegal had happened.
These squatters had 5 kids who were not allowed outside. They pulled the car into the garage and never spoke to anyone in a neighborhood full of other children. Found out from the landlord they hadn't had water to the house in 2 weeks. Looked up their court history and saw a 2023 protection order filed against the father for ongoing incidents of punches to the head, smothering, forcing the mom into sex, etc in front of the children.
We tried reporting to cps, and then on their advice, to the police for a welfare check. They would not get involved beyond knocking on the door.
Two days after their eviction finally went through (their third in 3 years for non payment), they had to take their suv of their garage to pack. A night later, a repo guy showed and hooked it up. Much yelling and screaming and white lady tears while the jobless husband hid inside yelling out the front window. They called the cops to ask for help getting it back. They came but said they couldn't do anything, and left. So the mom loaded her baby and 5 year old into the car hooked up to the tow truck and refused to get out as it was about to drive away.
I called the cops that there were children being put in danger, she was trying to get the car off the truck using babies, and could see it all clearly from my house. They never showed.
This story is wild. Why did it take the repo guys so long to hook the car up to the tow truck, to the point that cops came, and went, and then she was able to load her kids in there??
This was around 10 pm, my husband was watching a show and heard a commotion and saw flashing tow truck lights, then saw a cop car shown up. He came and woke me up like it was Christmas morning ("babe I think the neighbors are getting their car repossessed," runs happily back to the front window).
The repo guy had to put the lil wheelie things around the front tires and then lift it so that took time. They were screaming at him about being evicted and needing their vehicle, and i am sure obstructing his work while they called the cops. I think once the cops came and left that's when she said she need to get something out of the car because by the time I got out of bed saw the mom turn on the dome light, pulling bags out and the next thing I know I see little heads and a car seat in there. You lifted it more like he was gonna go. And then she was messing with starting the car so I called the cops at that point, but they never showed back up. I think the tow truck driver realized they weren't going anywhere because they needed it.So he told them he can't keep living like this.And i'm gonna find you later.And unhooked all the equipment for about 10 mins, and left
When I tell you these people's sob stories got them an extra week grace period on eviction, they get limited dissemination, so these evictions aren't showing up on their background check, they are just really good at acting like innocent sob story angels.
It's a real fear for children of colour in the USA.
ICE is running around murdering people in broad daylight, those kids will also have been old enough to learn about BLM and the reason for the protests. Every single day, there are more and more cases of open racism with Police involvement that are rightfully shared online.
And this is CHICAGO. Not some podunk southern hole.
Can we also get a mega-bitch tax for Karen's in general? Like, if I say "Leave me alone," that should be the end of the discourse. Then it's harassment.
I barely have words. What. How can you live your life with this much hate inside. Zero self reflection. Wouldn't surprise me if she is a "christian". Better start god fearing harder, lady, cause we all know where you're not going.
Edit: I tried to Google this to see if the racists have yet faced any consequences. Didn't find anything yet, but so many other articles of this happening over the years popped up. Punch racists.
Dude people are going fucking nuts, man. I work in a grocery store. In two weeks, I have seen two hate incidents at my work place. One where a lady screamed at a man to go back to his country of origin because.... They bumped carts. On a Friday. When we were busy af. Yesterday, a customer was walking his cart in the parking lot, walking real close to the wall of the building so he wasn't in the way, and a guy yelled out his window to call him a couple of slurs based on the pink-ish shirt he was wearing... Because he was existing walking his cart while wearing a shirt that really looked more red up close.
I really hope this is the death rattle of hate just taking one more violent swing before leaving this world. As dark as it is, now, dawn has to be just beyond the horizon
two women literally smiling while children are crying because they feel so powerful calling the cops.
If they genuinely thought this man shouldn't be there or was dangerous like a normal person they would walk away and call from their office in safety. They are doing this there BECAUSE they are enjoying the kids crying, enjoying upsetting this black man they know is zero threat to his face. Fucking despicable.
Even if this guy was known to not live/be staying there, even if they knew he shouldn't be there, how they are behaving is fucking disgusting. walk away, leave the kids alone, call the cops and have the cops talk to the guy as he leaves.
Dude needs to call a reporter or two, get the story out and get these women fired. I literally don't care who you are, if you were professional and not an evil genuinely disgusting person you would never act like this.
Because they mentally change the definition so nothing meets the requirement. If they refuse to acknowledge it, then it can't be racism in their warped minds.
To a lot of them racism is only when you shout the n-word. With a hard 'r' at the end. This isn't racism. This was just some community minded individuals who were protecting their pool from people they thought could be outsiders who just happened to be black. Also, since he didn't start recording at the beginning we will see people going 'well, he might have done something before he started recording to warrant this reaction'.
They are going to file a report with the HOA after this because it clearly isn't doing its intended purpose.
It's always wild when they say this because in the grand scheme of history it wasnt that long ago. And it's not like after slavery ended the ramifications of it did. Schools were desegregated twoish generations ago and we know they freaked out over that because its well documented.
There are plenty of people alive today who remember what it was like to have "whites only" water fountains, restaurants, and bathrooms. It's absolutely insane people think we should all just "get over it already"
Same double-standard ass people who will say, “why didn’t he just get his ID.” Privileged fucks don’t know what it’s like to have this happen. It happens more often than one thinks.
The very fact that a child knows that, let's face it, it IS an actual possible outcome that their dad will go to jail is a damning indictment of the world they're growing up in.
There should be genuine consequences for these two Stanley Cup-wielding arseholes.
My heart bled for that poor kid. He's going to go his whole life remembering this. I just hope he doesn't end up internalising all that hatred. No kid deserves to go through this.
Hearing that little boy cry and hearing the genuine fear in his voice destroys a part of my very soul that I will never get back in this lifetime. I hope with every fiber of my being that she loses her job and is doxxed for what she did. No mercy for these racist pieces of $#*%. I hate this country because of people like that woman.
No one should be surprised this is happening in 2026. It’s been happening the entire time the only difference is that everyone has a cam and uses it as a soft form of protection and proof collector.
But trust, it’s been happening non-stop since ever.
As soon as that little boy started crying I did too. I've had a lot of people accused me of being an immigrant because I'm brown a lot of times even when I was young. That is going to leave a mark on that poor lad.
I would love if they tried this in Brazil, where racism is a crime. She would be very happy in jail. Recently an Argentinian tourist offended someone and was arrested. Her face was precious being put in cuffs.
Surprised they didn't just go right ahead and call ICE.
Really disgusting. That poor child, nobody should have to face that. I'm glad that Dad didn't back down, but... the very fact that they're having to stand their ground just to exist in that space. What a world.
Suppose it's too much to hope she got done for wasting police time 😕
EDIT: ffs in no way am I saying ICE should have been called. Jesus wept.
File a complaint using fair housing. Shit about to get real. Breaking fair housing laws is huge . Do they ask id from everyone using the pool area? If not sue the property manager and the property managment company because you have been discriminated under Fair Housing laws. Property Manager can be held personally responsible for damages. I am a Property Manager and we take classes once a year for Fair Housing. Good luck!
Hope she ends up in jail, thats a terrible thing to put children through....or anyone. I speak as a white irish man and in my own country decades ago store windows had signs that said "no dogs, no blacks, no irish". I feel this mans frustration and his children's vulnerable emotions.
My heart broke for your little man, I don’t understand how anyone could be so cruel and heartless. I hope their beds are full of a million bed bugs for the rest of those two entitled witches lives.
The day I see this happening in person is the day I get arrested. So fucking fed up of these dusty old whites bothering literally anyone. Hearing that poor baby cry and try to diffuse is just heartbreaking.
As a white passing but mixed race person, nothing would make more happy than tossing this woman in the pool in front of the family she is harassing. I'd gladly take a few hours of inconvenience for that satisfaction.
These damn Nazi wankers. And that disgusting bitch with her filthy, shitty drinking cup, which immediately exposes her as a victim of all campaigns. In a just world, these antisocial, agitating creatures would be the ones who had to identify themselves because they sow discord and hatred, and they should definitely be banned from the pool, especially since they are obviously freezing and shouldn't be at the pool. And behind their sunglasses they hide, like millions of their brothers and sisters in spirit. I hate them both intensely.
Well this made me cry, that poor little boy crying and begging his dad to get his ID so he wouldn't go to jail was heartbreaking. America's racism problem seems to be getting worse.
We all know the only reason she wanted his ID was because they are black. I experienced this numerous times living in apartments. Absolutely no reason for them to traumatize those folks like that.
That child is unfortunately learning this bullshit at an early age. SMDH
As another black father i feel for this man and his kids. We do everything in our power to give them a good life, and protect them from the racism in the world. All it takes is one event.
Isn't discrimination something completely suable, and like an automatic social media cancelling for the business and a firing for the assholes involved?
Looks like it’s a gated community. So no business to boycott. It’s not like the residents are going to sell their homes and move out.
Them being fired is a possibility. If this gets enough traction locally, the development isn’t going to appreciate the bad rap. Who wants to move into the racist neighborhood? Plus the family could file for a discrimination suit.
This pisses me off. Leave black people alone. Now that baby is crying because he thinks his dad is going to jail-for swimming in a pool. Leave black people alone. If they live there or not, what does it matter? Leave black people alone. They arent hurting anything, the pool isnt crowded. Leave black people alone. Its not hard to keep walking. You dont need to converse with that man, you can say 'hi' and keep it moving. Leave black people alone.
