After a tweet went viral showing the manager of a Days Inn motel in Norfolk, Virginia, hurling racist abuse at a black customer, the man's job has been terminated.
"Come on! Prison boy! We've got prison boy here!" the manager taunts Joshua October. October posted the exchange on his Instagram.
"This is how a racist manager spoke to a black customer at a DaysInn in Norfolk, Virginia. This bigotry is unacceptable. This employee must be fired immediately @daysinn," a Twitter user named Simar said.
