Tried to attend Maya tonight for a Night Swim with Posso DJ set and got rejected at the door because my Brother-In-Law had a Louisiana ID they "couldn't verify". 2 separate "security guys" spent almost 10 minutes trying to verify the ID. They kept asking him for another form of ID with his picture on it. Smh. #BlackLivesMatter #ScottsdaleRacism #1standLastTimeAtMaya
Dear Erik S.,
Your bouncers at the door racially profiled my brother in law! There is no excuse. The Phoenix Metropolitan area is frequently visited by out of town travelers and a number of different state IDs are presented at restaurants, bars, and clubs alike. There is no way that 2 capable bouncers could not verify his ID after almost 10 minutes of questioning and embarrassment. I've experienced racism in my city before but NEVER like this. You all really should address it properly instead of making excuses for something that was uncalled for and wrong!
