Golf Course Calls Police on Black Women for Playing Too Slowly

From my research the last week or so were filled with nothing but racist incidents. From places like LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, Starbucks and now this place.  All places boldly kicking African American people out of their establishments. The latest incident that was just brought to my attention were 5 Black women golfers were playing golf, and were told to leave because they were playing too slowly, then the cops were called. 

On Saturday morning, the women — who, according to local media, were experienced golfers and part of a group called Sisters in the Fairway — teed off at Grandview Golf Course in York County. The women told the York Daily Record that they were told by the club’s owners they were not keeping a quick-enough pace. The club offered to refund their memberships and then called 911.

“I felt we were discriminated against,” one of the women, Myneca Ojo, told the York Daily Record. “It was a horrific experience.”

The golf club, represented in a video interview by co-owner JJ Chronister, has since apologized. She does not appear to have been present during the confrontation but told the Daily Record she had personally contacted each of the five women and hoped to “use this as a learning opportunity” for the owners and their employees. The club did not return a request for comment by The Post.

In videos posted by the York Daily Record and by Sandra Thompson on YouTube, a man who identifies himself as Jordan Chronister tells the women he had been timing them while they took a break from 12:45 to 1:28. He speaks over a woman who is asking him to explain why her group was approached. Chronister also laughs at the woman and assumes a mocking tone. At one point, Chronister is told by another man in the frame to “let the police handle it.”

Chronister then turns toward the camera and tells the women to leave the course in the next five minutes and that the police have been called. The other man in the frame tells Chronister that “this is what she wants. This is what she does for a living.”

The woman filming says she doesn’t understand why they were asked to leave the course.

“What was the confrontation? You came to us,” she said. “We were trying to tee off and five of you men came up to us.”

In the end, the police came and went after talking to both groups.

While scrolling through the comments section yesterday of an article similar to this one, I believe it was the Starbucks incident, someone mentioned how it appears racist are trying to force segregation again, and it does appear that way, and it's up to us to stop them right in their tracks. Even if that means returning to Starbucks with my camera on record, you're going to serve me rather you like it or not. We can also start really supporting Black owned businesses and ill have a complete list coming soon.
