Blacks matter too

<p>My colleagues and I checked into the Protea Fire and Ice hotel in Cape Town. Then I noticed there is a welcome board with nest of people that Protea Hotel is welcoming to the hotel. They were all white and one Indian. So I asked in a joking way who had the privilege to have their names on the wall. The reception people them told me that it is done randomly and they don't know the criteria that is used to determine.</p> <p> </p> <p>I then questioned that in a group of 4 people travelling from my company, there are 3 blacks and one white person and the white person is the only one who's name is there. That's when my colleagues came in and they started challenging that and refused to check in until some explanation was given. Then they asked us if it was the 1st time we stayed at that hotel, turns out I'm the only one that has stayed there before and my 3 colleagues, including the white colleague were here for the 1st time so that wasn't the reason</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Then they called the manager, called Angello who came and tried to explain why only white people were on the way he was telling us there was some profiling done, and so on and so forth. An explanation was just not good enough. Let me pause and say Angello has the worst hospitality manner and was extremely defensive. </p> <p> </p> <p>So please sort it out! </p>
