‘The Color Purple’ star Fantasia Barrino is saying she and her family were racially profiled by Airbnb. The actress shared that they were staying at a house booked on the website to celebrate her son’s birthday. She wrote on Twitter, “My stomach is so uneasy this morning. I don’t say much when people do me wrong, but I can’t stay quiet on how my family and I were just treated from a host with @Airbnb @airbnbhelp trying to kick my kids and I out at 12:00 midnight. The host accused us of having a party with loud noises outdoors because they saw balloons being dropped off and a game truck with no generator in the early part of the day.” She added, “It’s evident to me this was racial profiling and the treatment we received was due to the color of our skin.”

Sick of this bullshiz. They said she was too loud not black and too loud. Go away again Fantasia. I can hear nails on a chalkboard by myself. … Ih, I know, RACISM!! 😂
Always the race card. Nobody gaf. Stop crying.
So she was or was not having a party? They were or were not too loud? The fact that the Airbnb normally has guests hosting parties leads one to believe they mustve done something really out of pocket if asked to leave. Its not the color of your skin, its the way you act.
Racism? In America? Home of the "White Replacement" Theory? Really?
This is why I will not open my home to Airbnb. (SOME) folks will come in and tear your home up, most of the time (KIDS). However, if the parent monitor their children, things can go smoothly; having parties at any home will cause some potential damage, and if the owner is not prepared for structural damage, they shouldn't extend their home to these programs; nobody is going to take care of your home better than you, I would think Fantasia had her kids under control however looking at some of the pictures of the kids attending the party you had multiple ethnicities joining this overnight event, those kids were ready to turn up If Mrs. Barrino was discriminated against then action needs to be taken, she may have warrant however it seems there were a mix of ethnicities attending that party which will be hard to prove the racial profiling:(
Grow up and stop it!
Blacks are not above the law and criticism. Hope all is well with the homeowners.
Black people never want to take accountability first thing they want to blame is there skin color. Not saying that’s what happened in this case but MAJORITY , and I’m black so don’t start!
Boo whoo yeah yeah yeah poor thing. Woah is her. Everyone is racist, everyone hates me because im black. Same old story
They didn’t have a problem with her skin color. They had a problem with a bunch of screaming, running in and outside wild kids!
