San Francisco man fired after he's caught blocking Hispanic neighbor from building [View all]

They never learn.

Don't these people realize their racist behavior is being increasingly exposed because everyone has a camera phone in their pocket?



San Francisco man was blocked from entering his own apartment building by a white couple who called him a “criminal.”

Michael Barajas, a Berkeley graduate and community educator for a biopharmaceutical company, said he used his remote key fob to open the garage door to SOMA Residences after coming home Tuesday evening from buying fruit, but a white SUV pulling in ahead of him purposefully blocked the entrance to the garage, reported KGO-TV.

“His immediate reaction was, ‘Hey, you f*cking criminal, you’re not coming in here,'” Barajas said.

Barajas, who recorded the encounter, said he was wearing black and his tattoos were visible, and he thinks the other man, later identified as William Beasly, decided he posed a threat.
