Jermaine Massey was visiting Portland for the first time to attend a Travis Scott concert. After the concert on Sunday night, Massey took a call from his mother. So he stayed in the lobby of the hotel to talk. But while he was on the phone, a hotel security guard told him to leave and then called the cops. Massey filmed his encounter with the security guard and posted a series of videos on Instagram in which he recounted what happened. Massey, who is black, ended up being kicked out of the DoubleTree Hotel and had to find a new place to stay at around midnight. “I was racially profiled and treated unfairly,” Massey says in an Instagram video.
