This has been happening for decades. Smartphones have just opened people's eyes to their frequency.
A small scale version of mass shootings just to see oneself on the news
I’m just glad it’s phones and not guns. At least not in this situation.

Apparently he replied to someone via email lol.
It's in the thread.
It could be made up, though as there is no other verification than a screenshot. It is Twitter, not the Washington Post lol.
However, it's still bullshit. If these were some white basic bros bringing in clients or partners for a workout, he would've ignored them. It's rainmaking for white people, but for black professionals, it's loitering.
Just in time:

“Lost her dog, job and BANNED from Central Park. What a rough 48 hours. Anyway what y’all having for dinner?”

I find it hard to believe that this is the first time he's ran into someone who's brought their friends/family to the gym with them.
lol
@brownngem
I just called the number and his voicemail said “Hi this is Stan Herman, I am no longer associated with f2 group with Tom Austin. His actions are not right and I don’t want you to assume I have the same beliefs”
I was ready to leave a WHOLE voicemail

So do Kevins also get a Kevin defense force too? or is that reserved for the oppressed white women/Karens only?
Good god, this is on a whole 'nother level of pathetic right here.Yep.

I was stunned when I first heard about it. The dude is such a loser. So petty and ridiculous and hateful. Squarehard found the story and posted it.
Thanks :) I couldn't find a good link to post.Yep.

Minneapolis, again?
Amazing how this guy decided to keep showing his ass after the Bde Maka Ska debacle, too.
Unfortunately my experience with Minneapolis has been a lot of white moderates and liberals (full disclosure: I am a white liberal) thinking "it's 2020, racism is over," and not really being equipped to confront these issues as they arise. There's plenty of casual bigotry and xenophobia directed towards our Somali population, for instance. Hopefully the silver lining to stuff like this is it continues to shine a spotlight that no, our shit doesn't smell better than anyone else's, and it pains me to say that because there is a lot that I think our city gets right, but we're far from perfect.

When in doubt, just remember that there's a defense force for everything.
Even if some of these people are friends of a tenant, I can see loads of available equipment that isn't in use. This is clearly a racist guy who doesn't want to share the space with black people, not a concerned paying tenant. If the place was packed and the guy couldn't work out? Maybe his story would have a shred of believability.
Well, that is pretending that he isn't a notorious racist with a history of being a total racist. Which he is.

Gen X'er showing his arse. Sounds like a Family Guy character to boot lmao
Mr. Herman gtfo real quick. 2 props to Stan.
NYC was in the limelight for some serious racism yesterday. If that can happen, unfortunately, no place is truly safe.
Racism is as pervasive throughout society as I could ever remember in my lifetime.
The amazing thing is that in the moment, people that do this feel 100% justified and righteous. Is so deep in them the racism that they feel that this situation is completely different from all the others and this is not racist.
Kinda hard to combat that. Im so glad cellphones and videos are helping.

Is it weird that I think the guy looks like how I imagine a yuppie racist would look in my head?
Kevin is a bad choice for the male equivalent of Karen because Kevins make up about fifty percent of Asian males.
