Ari Lennox arrested in Amsterdam; says she was racially profiled...

Ari Lennox is calling out airport security in Amsterdam. 
The R&B singer took to social media to describe an alleged racial 
profiling incident, which she says led to her arrest.

❝F*ck Amsterdam security. They hate black people,❞ she tweeted. She went on to add, ❝They’re arresting me. I’m being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me.❞ She goes on to say she's ❝never experienced racism so blatant.❞ According to Reuters, Dutch military police at Schiphol airport claimed the singer was held because she was allegedly drunk in public and aggressive toward an airline official.  
 
❝Our unit found a woman full of emotions, that wouldn’t calm down,❞ spokesman Robert van Kapel shared. ❝That’s why she had to be taken into custody.❞ Van Kapel said police are investigating claims of possible threats made by Lennox during the incident, and that it is unclear how long she will be held in custody. 

Damn. She's being given the angry black woman narrative!!!!
Hate to see it! Secondly, if she was as drunk as they claim, why has she been tweeting coherently throughout the entire situation? It seems unlikely anyone who is about to be arrested over being inebriated would be tweeting about it so much.
