Camry Porter recorded parts of the incident on her cell phone Wednesday at the Riverset Apartments, and it has already been shared nearly 7,000 times. A white Memphis woman was fired from her job at an apartment development after she was recorded calling the police on a black man who was wearing socks while swimming in a pool. Porter tells WREG community manager Erica Walker told the couple he needed to either take off his socks or leave. Trilogy Residential Management said Erica Walker, a manager at one of their properties, was "terminated immediately after we completed our investigation." The rules say, 'Proper pool attire.' It doesn't specify what proper pool attire is," Porter told CBS affiliate WREG-TV. She says before she started recording, Walker told her hats were included on the list of prohibited pool attire, but several other white men were wearing hats and another was wearing basketball shorts. In the video, Walker said hats are allowed if they're not dunked in the water. It hits home," Porter told WREG-TV, adding that she believes they were singled out because of their race. "It does look funny," she explained. "It’s 25, 30-plus white people out here and you haven’t said anything — you’re partying with them. You’re partying with them! But when we come, it’s an issue." In North Carolina, a white man was fired after he demanded identification from a black family who tried to enter a private community pool and called police on them. That could have went a whole other way. We've seen that," Porter told WREG-TV.
– A Tennessee woman has been fired from her job after reportedly calling the cops on a black man for wearing socks in a swimming pool on the 4th of July. Per CBS News, Erica Walker was working as a property manager with Trilogy Residential Management at a Memphis apartment complex when she told a black man to remove his socks or get out of the pool. The man's girlfriend, Camry Porter, took video of the incident and says she believes that Walker, who is white, singled out their group because they were black. While Walker also told the group that hats were not allowed at the pool, Porter points out in the video that white visitors were wearing them without being questioned. At some point during the dispute, Walker called the police. Rather than deal with the police, Porter said she and her group, including her godchildren, whom she brought to her complex's pool to celebrate the holiday, chose to leave. Porter posted her video to Facebook, where it's been viewed more than a million times. She told WREG that she wanted Walker held accountable, and that appears to be what has happened. On Friday, Trilogy Residential Management released a statement confirming that Walker has been fired from her job with the company. "To confirm, Ms. Walker was terminated immediately after we completed our investigation yesterday afternoon," the company wrote.
