White woman apologizes after accusing black developer of trespassing in her own Ohio home

Generate key takeaways

In a recent incident in an affluent Ohio neighborhood, a neighbor called real estate developer Mike Jenkins to ask if he actually lived in his own home. The incident went viral after his home’s security camera captured the conflict that sparked a debate in communities about racial profiling and how neighbors treat each other.

The incident occurred while a woman, later identified as Michelle Bishop, was jogging with her two young children. Feeling threatened as a vehicle slowly approached them, Bishop ran towards the nearest house, which happened to be Jenkins’ residence. When Jenkins arrived and identified himself as the home’s owner, Bishop responded, “I don’t believe it” before leaving the property with his children.

After the video went viral, Bishop received harsh criticism online, with many calling her out for racial profiling. Bishop later released a statement, denying any racist intent and said she was only concerned about the safety of her children. Bishop added that she couldn’t see Jenkins running at the time of the incident because it was dark outside, and she contacted her neighbors to apologize for what happened.

Jenkins took to his Instagram account to talk about the situation and how calm he was during the incident. He said he was proud to have been able, even in the most difficult moments, to handle the situation with class and not get upset when it could have been so easy to lose control.

This incident highlighted the issues of living in a predominantly white neighborhood and the need for community awareness and understanding to prevent this from happening to others in the near future.
