(CNN)Two employees seen on video asking a black guest to leave a Portland, Oregon, hotel after he took a phone call in the lobby have been let go, the facility said Saturday on Twitter.
The incident took place December 22 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland.
Jermaine Massey was in the hotel lobby when a security guard informed him that police were on their way to escort him off the property.
Massey accused the guard of "harassing" him, and in a statement provided to CNN by his attorneys, characterized the incident as "calling his mother while black."

"We have terminated the employment of the two men involved in the mistreatment of Mr. Massey," the hotel said on Twitter.

1. K&R. But the company's original response was still lame. nt

2. Woohoo! He's just about to get "justice while black".

That will come when the settlement with the hotel is reached.

5. 'asked black guest to leave'...that's one way of putting it

Probably the most innocuous way possible to describe what happened.

9. I know the title was very lame.

As is the initial description in the article. I just posted it in a format similar to LBN.

11. I wasn't finding fault with your editing

That's how CNN worded it, after all.
