Winston-Salem police were called to a private community pool Wednesday afternoon after a white man asked a black woman to show her ID.

Video of the incident was posted by Jasmine Edwards to Facebook and had gotten nearly 3 million views by Thursday afternoon.

On Twitter, the incident was trending with the hashtag #idadam. In the video, the woman referred to the man as Adam. Hundreds of people had tweeted about it, with some tweets tagging the man's alleged employer.

Attempts to reach Edwards and the man were unsuccessful Thursday. The Glenridge Homeowners Association later identified the man as Adam Bloom.

1. These people are in the Twitler Youth pretending to be officials in Trump's dystopian

nightmare. You have to ask yourself why Trump wants to corral white people behind walls all the while unleashing chemical and environmental pollution on them with picks like Pruitt.

2. Hey now, just a tiny bit 'o klanning going on. No biggie.

I know guys just like him. Ugly little souls making everything uglier.

I want this guy deported.

3. My reply to him would have been WTF, who made you lord and master ...

.... where are your papers? And i would have made my way to the pool. Im a former condo owner and nobody there knew all 200+ residents or their guess. I wouldn’t be in the locked pool area of I didn’t have a key or the pass code.

Serves the asshole right.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

10. he will have to reopen that linked in account

because his employers FB page is full of comments.
every one at work will see him, at his best.

[SamKnause]

8. That piece of shit Adam has zero shame.

He wasn't even man enough to apologize.

Something needs to be done about all of these fake calls to police.

They need to be ticketed or arrested.

I am so sick of this shit.

This country is teetering on the edge.

Trump wants a race war.

He has wanted a race war since he rode down that escalator.

11. As a local we watched this

unfold yesterday on a local news channel and its the lead story in today's Winston Salem Journal, https://www.journalnow.com/news/local/man-accused-of-racism-no-longer-employed-by-sonoco-after/article_081feb9a-4f15-53be-a4ae-dd91b4e43e26.html. I liked how our Winston-Salem Police Department handled this situation.

[IronLionZion]

13. It's a daily occurrence for many of us who have gotten too uppity

and forgotten our place.

As if a woman and her child would illegally break into a gated community to steal some pool time? Oh, but of course she first stole a keycard to access it.

Dumbasses

How do they know the whites were residents there? Did they check the white IDs? Why not? Just keep asking...

[The Wielding Truth]

16. So all they have to do is check everyone's id or neighborhood pass if they want no outsiders.Right?

[IronLionZion]

17. It should be the same for everyone

or there will always be discrimination and prejudice

[CRK7376]

14. Update, Adam was fired by his employeer

Just saw this reported on our local channel.... http://www.wxii12.com/article/video-woman-records-of-confrontation-at-winston-salem-pool-goes-viral-i-feel-like-this-is-racial-profiling/22064309

Good for Sonoco. We don't want or need racism in our community or country. Good riddance Adam.
