FULL VIDEO: A disturbing incident took place at a lake. The sister of a young Black girl says a man pulled up his dock ladder while her sibling was trying to climb out of the water. The girl cried out that she could not breathe and begged for help, but the man refused, telling her to go around.
According to the sister, two women nearby said “you people shouldn’t be swimming here” while the child was being dragged under by waves from passing boats. Moss and weeds on the dock made it impossible for her to climb out, and she was slipping below the surface gasping for air.
The sister also says that the same man had earlier let white children use the ladder but removed it when her Black sister reached for it. She says she pulled her sibling out herself and believes that if she hadn’t acted, her sister would not have survived.
This reflects a wider pattern. Black people have long been treated with hostility and exclusion around pools, lakes, and other bodies of water. What should be safe spaces for leisure are too often turned into sites of danger and racism.

@Chase My sister deposited money she won from the lottery. The next morning @Chase claimed it fraudulent and locked the account. After calling she was told once the check cleared it would be reopened.
@Chase How can she claim it when @Chase refuses to use a PUBLIC number they claim doesn’t show up in their system? When she called @NCEducatio1809 she was told that was the ONLY number and that banks call them all the time to verify checks with no problem.
@Chase@nclottery@NCLotterycom If you are able to help her resolve this. It’s so ridiculous! I have advised my sister to not reopen an account with @Chase. They have been nothing but rude and disrespectful when we call. Needless to say I will NEVER open an account with these people
@Chase There has to be SOMETHING that can be done in this situation. To have funds that were released for @Chase to hold on to because they won’t use the proper number to verify them? @nclottery and @NCLotterycom can you reach out to @Chase about this issue? DM me

@Torrid I received a phone call from them because I am 1month behind. They say I’m 2 months because once you miss a payment they slap the next month on even before the due date. So technically I won’t be 2 months behind for another 2 weeks. I got behind because I lost my job .
