Kansas City hotel manager hangs black doll from doorway in office to mock Sandra Bland

Infuriating

This, ladies and gentlemen, is your America.

A white hotel manager of the Adams Mark Hotel in Kansas City hung a black slave doll from the doorway of the office with a garbage bag in an apparent mocking of the death of Sandra Bland.

In searching for eloquent words to explain this bullshit, I have few.

American racism is deep, sick, and flagrant.

In your mind, I dare you to rewind to the moment in which this asshole, a white supervisor with black employees no less, conceived the idea, gathered the materials, and proceeded to act on his instinct to do such a thing.

It's sick and this man should be charged with a federal hate crime. Termination is not enough.

Our country, sadly, is either regressing, or the outer facade is just being torn away and we're starting to see the deeper, uglier soul of this nation. Below are some of the first tweets covering the incident.

1. Adam's Mark fires white supervisor for hanging slave doll from noose at hotel

The low-level supervisor who hung the doll was quickly terminated by Adam's Mark after hotel officials were alerted to the situation.

2. Approrpriate action was taken.

The final act should be to refuse the final paycheck to that moron and instead, donate it to NAACP.

6. That would probably be illegal.

Two wrongs do not a right make. I'll settle for his firing.

3. Oh gawd. Fire his ass, right now! n/t

4. Extremely low class. Sad that there are people like this. nt

5. His firing was appropriate.

"Federal hate crime" is a bit much, however. Though the action was hateful, it does not rise to the level of being a crime.
