MOTEL 6

(7/28112): Motel 6 Uses Racial Epithet to Welcome Jazz Festival Guests

 

Guest at Motel 6 in Sharonville, Ohio reports seeing "Hello Niggers" on their internal TV broadcast.

The President of the Dayton NAACP, Derrick Forward, made contact with our unit this morning to express concern that his member checked into a Motel 6 in Sharonville and read on their internal TV broadcast "Hello Niggers." The Motel 6 is located at 3850 Hauck Road, Sharonville, Ohio 45241, telephone number is 513-563-1266. The Motel 6 owner owes the entire Cincinnati region an apology and termination of all employees involved in this act. "This behavior is despicable and Un-American," Christopher Smitherman, President of the Cincinnati NAACP said.

.

The Cincinnati NAACP independently called the location to ask if the Motel 6 had on their TV broadcast "Hello Niggers." The person who answered the phone confirmed the information was true but provided no explanation or clarity of why. It is my hope the public officials and leaders will hold the Motel 6 operator accountable. "We thank the President Derrick Forward of the Dayton branch for investigating this issue by taking pictures and personally driving from Dayton to support his member. The Cincinnati NAACP will be supportive to the Dayton branch to bring an amicable resolution," Smitherman said.

President's Spotlight

Derrick Foward"Move Forward With Foward"

Fellow Citizens:

Achieving constitutional justice in America isn't easy, but with your help, we will be one step closer. The unemployment rates across the country are staggering for people of African American descent. In almost every City in the these United States of America, the unemployment rate for African Americans is almost doubled the national average. We need to hold every employer accountable to the following mandate as outlined in the United States Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be Self-Evident, that All Men Are Created Equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain Unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Ask yourself, if all men are created equal, how do disparities exist? "We the People..." expect equality!!!

"Our Success Is Influenced By Your Actions (DLF)"

Your community servant,

Derrick L. Foward
