   The Jamaican owner of the Rustic Mountain Living rental company   
   shocked social media by saying she wouldn’t allow any more short-   
   term stays. The reason? She’s fed up with the alleged   
   misbehavior of Black American guests.   
      
   In a TikTok video, “The Barefoot Mountain Lady,” said she   
   doesn’t believe all Black Americans are ill-mannered, but most   
   of the ones she hosted were entitled, unappreciative and   
   generally disrespectful in her presence.   
      
   She said she only ever had two mannerly Black American guests.   
      
   The most eyebrow-raising statement was toward the end. The owner   
   claimed Black Americans are spoiled and expect the same “free   
   sh*t” in Jamaica they supposedly get at home.   
      
   In the video, the woman does errands on her grounds, wades in   
   the sea, and seems completely unbothered.   
      
   People Had Heated Opinions   
   Unsurprisingly, the woman’s announcement sparked a firestorm of   
   criticism.   
      
   People accused her of perpetuating dangerous, offensive   
   stereotypes about Black Americans.   
      
   Others questioned the wisdom of making such a declaration on a   
   public platform seemingly without a second thought. They also   
   wondered how she can work in the hospitality industry and be so   
   inhospitable.   
      
   On Twitter, one user said the owner was parroting white   
   supremacist talking points about Black Americans. But to them,   
   it was more comical than offensive.   
      
   Some asked for clarification on the freebies point. “I’d like to   
   receive my free things, please!” wrote one woman. “Is there a   
   newsletter?”   
      
   After one potential guest criticized the negative energy, The   
   Barefoot Mountain Lady said, “You don’t have to come here.”   
      
   Another user gave the owner advice in the form of a Jamaican   
   proverb: “Anno everything good fi eat, good fi talk,” meaning   
   “some things are better left unsaid.”   
      
   The Owner Is Completely Unfazed and Won’t Back Down   
   The Barefoot Island Lady literally laughed at the blowback in   
   yet a third video.   
      
   “I’m not sorry,” she said. “You want to unfollow me? Block me? I   
   don’t care.”
