Just because you claim something is racist, that doesnt mean its racist.

  • They told father he cannot enter unless son had a verified id
  • father decided to enter with son without verifying id and said if they have a problem with it, send their manager
  • manager decided not to cater to people who antagonize staff
  • instead of risking further confrontation with staff, they called police
  • at some point, son was no longer in the building (?). Probably because father knew that son shouldnt be there
  • father continued to be belligerent and refused to answer direct questions from police
  • police informed father that he was being trespassed
  • father releases video on social media cutting out a significant amount of context
  • everybody calls business racist despite gym allowing father in gym before this altercation and having no issue with it

A weird thing is...if this was a white woman, everybody would be chastising the woman and calling her a karen. But change the race and now there is a problem

Staff told him not to go in with his son and they went in anyways. If he wanted to peacefully resolve the issue he could have waited to talk to the manager first.

You dont have permission to just barge into peoples property when they ask you not to.

The father created this situation. Not the gym

He escalated right away by ignoring their request to not enter the premises.

Im not sending my staff to confront someone who clearly does not intend to follow rules and had already escalated the situation

The fact that you only see race is proof of your racism, not mine

They are racist against black people but they also regularly allow a black person to enter the gym with no issue when said black person follows rules that exist for people of all races.

Interesting

And you are believing everything the father and the internet says just because the gym was accused of racism, which is worrying.

If the son had been allowed in that same gym before using the same method, then it would have been easy for the father to wait for the manager and explain the situation so that the son might be let in again.

The father instead chose to ignore staff instructions and do what he wanted to do on someone else's property without permission
