White Woman Fired For Preventing Black Man From Entering Condo Apartment Building Breaks Silence
The middle-aged woman who lost her job after she attempted to stop a black man entering his apartment building in St Louis has opened up.
In a recent chat with KTVI TV, Hilary Thornton who said she is not a racist disclosed that she was just following the building’s procedure not to allow a stranger into the building..
Her words:
“My only intent was to follow the direction that I had been given by our condo association board members repeatedly and that is to never allow access to any individual that you do not know”.
“I simply asked him if he lived there because the direction from the condo is so repeated that if you do not know the person, you do not let them in,” she said.
“He would not answer me. He would not show me one”.
She added that she followed him to his room until she realized he had door keys to get into the apartment.
Hear her own side of the story in the video below:
After the video went viral, Thornton’s employer, Tribeca STL, fired her for racial profiling.

I read this few days ago. She was wrong for preventing other tenant from entering his apartment for being black. But her employer was also wrong for firing her. This had nothing to do with her job.
Overall, she put herself in danger zone for following the guy. It could have been worst if the guy was a hardcore criminal.
She needs to fix her rascism nonesense. She doesn’t deserved to be fired from her job though.
i watched the clip..probably she was surprised how the black guy can afford to live in such condo…just like seeing black house living in luxurious condo in manhattan or driving a late model buggatti in las vegas..racism na disease
If the guy was white, she wouldnt have questioned him like that. Ethnic bigotry in Nigeria is the same as racism anyway.
Such act is allowed if she was conducting access control to the building, in foreign countries building management gives instruction to concierge/security of condominium or building apartment not to give access to a visitor who does not buzz in by the resident, if the guy in question had followed the proper way to access the building through fob or buzzer perhaps this would not have happened but i think the incident escalated because both of them are not the same race.
