WATCHWhite man takes out gun to stop black students from entering apartment building
A video of a tense encounter between four black students and a white man in Florida has prompted a police investigation after it went viral on Twitter.
The video, posted by one of the students of Florida A&M University, Isiah Butterfield, shows the man holding a gun and using his body to prevent the students from entering the building of a student housing complex on Saturday. The video has been viewed more than 320,000 times on Twitter.
"...We are sick of the discrimination," said Butterfield in the tweet. "Never thought I’d have a personal experience with racism like this..."
The incident is under investigation under Florida's statute of aggravated assault with deadly weapon without intent to kill, the Tallahassee Police Department said.

"Once we found out he had the gun, it turned into a whole different situation," Butterfield told ABC News. "We really think he was trying to provoke us to the point where it got violent so he could retaliate with the gun. I knew that if this dude even feels threatened, he's going to find any excuse to pull the trigger."
ABC News reached out to the man in the video, Don Crandall, for comment and will update the story if he responds.
Butterfield said the encounter with Crandall started when the four students were waiting outside the apartment complex for their friend to let them in to join a party.
Crandall told them they weren't getting into the building, went inside and locked the door.
"We were just sitting there confused, like why did he even say anything to us?" Butterfield said.
Then Crandall came out, again, to reiterate the point and that's when Butterfield started recording the events on his phone. That was also when another white student, a resident of the building, tried to intervene on their behalf and let them in, urging Crandall to "keep walking" and "just go about your day."

In the video, Crandall, who appears to be considerably older than the young students and was confirmed to not be a resident of the building, trades insults with the white student as the black students stand watching quietly. Afterward, they all enter the building but Crandall refused to let them enter the elevator with him.
"Find another elevator, you can't get in this one," he said, blocking their way as the four students tried to enter it.
"Why not? Do you own the building?" the students asked.
"Because you don't belong in this building," he replied, before adding, "You ain't got a key for the building, you don't belong in the elevator."
The man took out a key to show them, which was when the students noticed he had a gun in his hand.
"Sir, you bring out your gun. What's your purpose for that?" one of the students asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me," he said, trying to hide it behind him.

The white student sided with the black students throughout the ordeal. Butterfield acknowledged his support on Twitter for "standing by us ... that’s a real dude right there."
The apartment complex, Stadium Centre, said the man did not live in the building.
"We are aware of the video posted on social media over the weekend and reported this incident immediately to the police," the apartment complex said in a statement.
"Firearms are strictly prohibited on our property and we take this matter very seriously. We are cooperating with the police during their investigation and it has been determined that the person in the elevator is not a resident. Moreover, we are firmly committed to fostering a diverse residential community that is inclusive and welcoming to all."
Though the police did not give any further information on the incident, the man was identified by Twitter users as Don Crandall, the general manager of a local hotel, Baymont by Wyndham.
When ABC News reached out to the hotel for comment, the hotel confirmed his identity and said he was no longer working there.
"The man you are talking about is no longer employed with us and does not represent the values of our company and how others should be treated," an employee with the hotel said, declining to say whether he had been fired.

Later, the hotel posted on its Instagram account, apologizing on behalf of Crandall and saying it "did not stand behind the actions of our former General Manager."
"Our team has gone ahead and took the actions that were necessary to uphold our beliefs," the hotel added.
It does not appear that the man had any authority on who was to enter the student housing building. Stadium Centre told ABC News that it was in no way affiliated or associated with the hotel or its parent organization.
Part of the incident had been captured on camera, the university said in an email to ABC News.
"Florida A&M University (FAMU) learned that on Saturday, Sept. 8, at least one FAMU student was the alleged victim of an off-campus incident, which was captured on camera," the school told ABC News. "Our students' safety is our first priority. The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) is investigating the matter; therefore, FAMU cannot disclose additional details. The University will provide assistance as it is requested by TPD. For more information, please contact TPD's Public Information Office at (850) 891-4255."

Garvey didn't actually originate the idea of the flag. The idea came from the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World meeting within/amongst UNIA members

why do nikkas even talk about "Dvision" like nikkas is all united in the first place.
whats AAs recognizing ourselves gon do? its not gonna separate nikkas any further when were already a divided people already
Actually Garvey stole the flag idea from Hubert Harrison. The original flag was made by Harrison as black, brown and yellow. Those colors symbolized black peoples unity with asians, indians, and other dark skinned minorities across the world. Japan was rising in power at the time and many blacks felt unity for their cause over white america. Garvey got a lot of his ideas from Harlem Renaissance thinkers. Harrison was the first person to bring Garvey an audience in Harlem. Garvey pioneered the race hustle on a massive national level he scammed poor black americans out of MILLIONS of dollars - which is why he got locked up for mail fraud. Read Hubert Harrison Reader for more on the subject. Go to the Garvey section of the book. In his diary he (along with many others) exposed Garvey as a bombastic charlatan. He scammed our people which is why he was forgotten so quickly after he died. nikkas was salty after realizing they got conned.
Interesting, do you have a link?
So was it from Hubert or did it come from the UNIA?
like I said my bad on misreading your post, but it seems your wrong on all sorts of stuff Including now Garvey making the flag.

Lol @ your google educated ass scrambling to try to dispute basic knowledge without even understanding what you typed. The idea didnt come from a meeting. The idea was already thought about and pushed by Garvey and at the Convention of the UNIA - not the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World meeting LMAO!!! - the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was drafted and adopted, and officially adopted the flag, you clown.
The Story Behind the RBG Flag
The red, black, and green flag was first designed and used by Marcus Garvey – a founding father of Pan-Africanism – and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1920.
A racist 1900 song called “Every Race Has a Flag but the c00n” was one of the hottest songs of the time among white America, and was responsible for establishing the term “c00n” in reference to Black men and women.
This song so infuriated Marcus Garvey, that he commissioned the RBG Flag as the standard of Pan-Africanism.
“Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, “Every race has a flag but the c00n.” How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can’t say it now….” -Marcus Garvey
The Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was drafted and adopted at the Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (the organization that Marcus Garvey created) held in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on August 13, 1920. Among the articles is Declaration 39 which states as follows:
“That the colors, Red, Black and Green, be the colors of the African race.”
It is from that declaration the Red, Black and Green – or RBG – flag came into existence. Since then, a number of African nations have adopted the colors as a symbol of their sovereignty."
The Untold Story And Meaning Behind The RBG Flag
For several years leading up to that point, Marcus Garvey, the UNIA's leader, talked about the need for a black liberation flag. Robert Hill, a historian and Marcus Garvey scholar, says that Garvey thought of a flag as necessary symbol of political maturity.
"The fact that the black race did not have a flag was considered by Garvey, and he said this, it was a mark of the political impotence of the black race," Hill explains. "And so acquiring a flag would be proof that the black race had politically come of age."
"Marcus Garvey, a founding member and former president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) created the Pan-African flag in 1920 in response to the 1900 song "Every Race Has a Flag but the c00n."

I have the real book. But here's a preview onlineInteresting, do you have a link?
So was it from Hubert or did it come from the UNIA?
A Hubert Harrison Reader
Page 90 talks about the origin of the flag. You can go to any one of Garvey's chapters it should be on there. I don't agree with some of Harrison's views - especially about Black Americans but his analysis of Garvey is spot on

What the fukk are you talking about?
He didn't scam anyone. J edgar hoover feared him and described him as the most notorious negro in America. Those trumped up charges were solely to have him deported to diminish his influence and movement. This is common knowledge.
Even government officials have stated the charges were unjust and unsubstantiated.

The flag was officially adopted by the UNIA and came out of its meeting because it was garvey's fukking organization and meeting, dumbass.
You are a Google fiend with 0 understanding.
"Journalist Charles Mowbray White has asserted that Garvey proposed the colors red, black and green for the following reasons: "Garvey said red because of sympathy for the 'Reds of the world', and the Green their sympathy for the Irish in their fight for freedom, and the Black [for] the Negro."[6]
