You just know this was because she was Black and a woman and they thought she didn't belong. Can't prove it but I am sure she felt the implied "you don't belong"

This happened to my husband. He was visiting a different school than his own to teach a group an ethics seminar. He was asked to show several forms of ID even after he showed them his school employee ID on a lanyard around his neck. He finally said I guess you won't be asking me this when I'm at the podium! This was after several white employees had walked past without a second glance and showing NO forms of employeeID.

You don't have to recognize someone to be polite.

This reminds me of going to a college to hand out certificates and they were still collecting parking the old fashioned way... cash. I had none. So I told the parking attendent he would have to let me park for free or there will be 200 students disappointed as I was the President of the association for which they were all awaiting their certificates. "Well someone else will just have to give them out." Me" Yes that would be a good idea, except they are all on my back seat." I parked for free.

I bet they get a great kick out of being authorative.

Sorry, I had to Google her. But she's British and writes for young adults and children. So I hadn't heard of her. Don't these venues have special entrances for the "Guest speakers and or musicians like the ElanaK who mention Bob Dylan?

Jim Morrison was maced by a cop back stage at a Doors concert because “fans weren’t allowed backstage”

More racist pieces of shite.

I would have paid to see their reaction when they realized.

I would’ve just left and then let them realize their mistake.

Am i the only one who would have said "OK, i'm leaving. And when everyone asks to get their money back, tell them to talk to THIS PERSON!"? And you better believe i would have left..

Always respect everyone , period.

I would not be listening to any black speak.

Had a in person meeting with our company's bank officer, who I had had several phone conversations with. My company's dress code was casual before it became a thing.
