Black Man Claims Hilton Hotel Racially Profiled Him

(Portland, OR)  --  A black man is accusing a Hilton Hotel in Portland of racially profiling him after he was kicked off the property for taking a phone call in the lobby.  The man named Jermaine Massey says he was speaking with his mom on the phone in the lobby at a DoubleTree by Hilton when a security guard came up to him and asked him what room he was staying in.  He says the guard then accused him of not complying and trespassing on the property, and called the police.  He was then forced to leave the hotel, or be arrested.  The man shared videos of the confrontation between him and the security guard on Instagram.  He says he left and was not offered a refund, and had to book a room at another hotel.
