‘I’m the victim here’: Black man in N.S says he’s facing constant racial harassment
Global News
A man says he has endured months of racial harassment from tenants in his Dartmouth apartment building, and is now speaking out. "You know, how much more can a person take?"
Steve Thomas has lived in his Dartmouth, N.S., apartment building owned by Killiam Properties since last summer.
He says he has endured racial harassment from tenants in his building, after he made a phone call to police on Sept. 8, 2023 reporting excessive noise coming from their unit.
“They had a big party there and I called the police a couple of times, and they showed up,” says Thomas.
Since then, the 66-year-old who is Black says he has been threatened, called racial slurs and says he even found a note left on his car.
“It said, ‘Get out you N-word’ on it in big letters and I thought it was just kids trying to sell cookies or somebody advertising,” says Thomas.
“I’ve lived in many apartments. I’ve never, ever experienced anything like this.”
Thomas says for months he has reached out to his property management company, Halifax Regional Police and several other people for help.
He says he’s spoken to representatives for Killiam about his concerns, but did not feel the company adequately dealt with them.
