The pervasiveness of racism has been spotlighted once again in Minnesota.
For, just days after the shocking death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police official ignited discourse about the Black experience in the US, another shocking clip has gone viral.
In jaw-dropping scenes, Tom Austin, the managing partner of F2, is filmed telling Black men that he would call police on them.
His reason? He didn’t believe they they had access to the business building they were in.
This despite being told several times by the young entrepreneurs that they too occupied the space as tenants for their social media company – Team Top Figure.
Watch the infuriating scenes below…
In the hours after the clip was shared, Austin was stripped of his lease, which he told the New York Post had been “terminated.” He also confirmed: “yes, I’m no longer CEO of F2.”

The level of smug entitlement is jarring beyond belief. Just disgusting.
That said, the fact this was caught on camera allowed for justice to be served.
Here’s hoping it acts as a mirror of disgrace to those enacting similar bias and reminds those sitting on the sidelines why the fight for racial equality should be a top priority for everyone – not just the afflicted.
To..GOD, Be The Glory…Hate..Should Never WIN..
AMEN!

When will these white people learn that being white does not give you authority over black people? These are the lasting effects of slavery. Thinking black people still have to answer to you and show you their freedoms papers. Eerily similar. You don’t look like you belong here, I’m calling the s**** patrol.
Yo, this is out of hand. Our president really has opened the floodgates to these racist individuals showing their haste for anyone of color. Absolutely disgusting. And then there’s black people like “diamond and silk” who think our president is for us – no he’s not! Because you got a stimulus welfare check you’re for him? He hasn’t even said anything about the George Floyd death and condemning it. Just disgusting. Expose all of these racists
Hate not haste***
shut the f up. stop bringing trump to every thing in the world u lil sheep. the democrats are using u and ur big a$$ hole.
Fck!ng populist chanting slogans.
Trup is actually doing so much more than Obama THE BLACK president for the black community. we dont WANT and dont need a president to be a PC b****!!! WE WANT A REAL ONE! THAT REALLY MOVE THINGS FOR BETTER. let him work sheep!
NO – Trump IS IN EVERYTHING – because he parks his fat orange face there and gets all up in it. He has done NOTHING for race relations is the US and if anything is taking the country backwards in time. Whichever way you spin it – Trump has incited a racially less tolerant America – which can NEVER equate to being the land of the free – PERIODT. AND YOU WILL DEAL. 🐔🐔🐔
Wow. What an ignorant comment. I hope one of his supporters doesn’t remind you that you’re black like they’re doing everyone else (as seen in this video). Praying for you.
So when Trump said “ To Make America Great Again “ which time frame is referring to ? Because POC have never been treated fairly in all the damn histories we can pinpoint back to 🧐🤨
Dumba**! The idiot can’t understand how young black business entrepreneurs can afford the SAME faciility as him. Glad his a$$ is fired, enough of these Ben’s, Ken’s, Beckys and Karens of this world.
I’m confused does the need for being racist override anything else with white people? You’re literally willing to lose your job, have your face plastered by millions, addresses on the net , family harassed just for the sake of policing black people going about their business ? Being racist is instinctual for white people it’s literally a survival of the fittest for them.
Hey tyty girl. 💄🙏🏿👩🏿🦰🧕🏾👩🏿🎤🧛🏿♀️🧛🏿♂️🤷🏿♀️🙍🏿♀️💅🏿💅🏾💅🏽
But how is this about race the guy saw three guys in his building that he has never seen before he asked them what office they are using and they refused to answer him so he want to protect him self and all the different tenants of all races that share the building with him. He was in his right to do so.
Any excuse to use the race card.
This!
so if the 3 black men asked him for his credetials you would expect him to comply immediately, right?
What is going on in America. I mean we are being huntes and harassed more than e v er. Every since this v**** started.
Strange 10 black people got shot dead in Chicago by a black guy and doesn’t even make anything like the amount of news that the women calling the police on the guy or the guy that got killed by the white police guy
Further prrof that black lives only matter to black people when white people take them.
Good riddance. Adios j€rk.
