A Michigan pastor says a white woman coughed in his face after he forgot his mask outside a pizza place and declares it be to an act of “racism.”

Michael Hale Jr. told Fox 2 Detroit that he and his wife were waiting for their order outside of Belle Isle Pizza on June 19 in Detroit.

“She said ‘Have you lost your mask’ or ‘where’s your mask at’ so I responded ‘Well my mask is in the car and she shouldn’t worry about my mask,'” Hale said.

“Mask or not, somebody shouldn’t be allowed to take it into their own hands to police me about what I’m doing, especially if the business owner or the business establishment doesn’t have an issue with it,” said Hale.

Hale further explained that he did not feel initially supported by the pizza parlor.
