Black Man Demanded to Show ID in Gym He Accessed With His Keycard

A Black man's routine visit to the gym in his apartment complex took a surprising turn when he faced harassment from the property managers, who demanded identification and his apartment number. In a now-viral TikTok video, set to the catchy "Nothing Beats a Jet2 Holiday" tune, the man encounters two staff members at a Manchester, Connecticut complex who question his residency."Do you live here?" the female manager inquires. "Yes, I live here," he responds, revealing frustration at their probing. After he offers to present his key tag for access, the staff insists on knowing his name and apartment number. He expresses discomfort in providing this information and insists on his rights. The male employee mentions issues with non-residents damaging property, while the woman threatens to call the police if he refuses to leave. The man challenges their request, asserting he would show his ID to the police instead. The video has sparked extensive discussion, attracting over two million views in just two days, with many viewers expressing outrage over perceived racial profiling. (Photo: Tiktok/Judgebycourt )
