A Black fisherman began videotaping after being repeatedly confronted by white neighbors. “Literally every single time I went fishing, someone bothered me.” He says they often resort to calling the police.
Gibson documents his experiences fishing on TikTok, but lately he has started to capture every time a white resident in his community confronts him, asking for his address and questioning whether he should be fishing at the private lake.Three times in one day, Anthony Gibson was asked by a white person what he was doing sitting by a pond in his neighborhood in Newnan, Georgia.
“I literally wanted people to see what people like me have to go through when they live in a nice neighborhood,” Gibson told NBC News about recording the confrontations, “and people don’t think that they live there.” Other Black residents have told Gibson about the harassment they’ve faced there. A retired Army veteran told Gibson that a bag of dog feces was left at his front door after he asked a white woman to stop letting her dog poop in his yard. On TikTok, Gibson posted other Black neighbors talking about being accosted in their own community, including one man who has lived in Springwater Plantation since 2001 and said that he’s “.
After his confrontation with Petty went viral, Gibson said Thomas Drolet, president of Springwater Plantation’s board of directors, asked him to release another video saying the encounter had been a “misunderstanding.” The reason cited by Drolet, Gibson said, was that Petty needed her job back to pay her “big mortgage.”
