Miami Beach Vacation Rental Owner Goes on Racist Tirade Against Black Guest

[Soph0571]

Monifah Brown and her friends thought they'd found the perfect place to stay during their Miami Beach vacation. The condo unit was right on Ocean Drive, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the beach. Brown, a 24-year-old from London, was thrilled to score a reservation there on Booking.com.

But things took a bizarre and virulently racist turn after Brown, who is black, took too long to respond to a message the condo's owner, Giulia Ozyesilpinar, sent her on WhatsApp. In screenshots and recordings Brown shared with New Times, Ozyesilpinar repeatedly calls Brown a monkey and a "nigger." Ozyesilpinar also sent voice recordings saying, "You're a nigger" and making monkey noises before asking, "You want banana?" She even posted a video on YouTube of Brown's ID next to a photo of a monkey.

Miami Mary?!?!

Brit girls don't play. Whether the owner thought this would be consequence free cause the girls are British? I don't know - but how can you run an establishment in such a diverse community and be this racist? It is mind boggling...

5. BFD for her, guess she feels privilege to be a racist fool. Someone should tell her

in the big picture she's a foreigner in this land taken from native Indians. She could also be in stages of Alzheimers or something if acting out this way is not common for her.
