The recent incident involving Marcus Rosebrock, a white neighbor who allegedly “hosed down” black partygoers in Queens, has sparked controversy and outrage. As news of the incident spread, so did the threats directed towards Rosebrock, causing him to fear for the safety of his children. The incident has raised important questions about racism and how it manifests in everyday situations.
Marcus Rosebrock, a 48-year-old man, found himself in hot water after a noise complaint was made against his black neighbors. Instead of addressing the issue in a civil manner, Rosebrock allegedly resorted to using a water hose to spray down the partygoers. The viral video has led to accusations of racism and has ignited a firestorm of anger and criticism against him.
And amid the black attendees, who were celebrating a birthday party on the day of the incident, filing a lawsuit against the German man, he continues to deny that the incident had anything to do with racism. I’m getting death threats over the phone,” he said. “They [his kids] are already scared, we had to let them know what was going on because there are a lot of black families in the area, but it is not like that.”
Since the incident, Rosebrock has been subjected to death threats and harassment. He has detailed the terrifying messages he has received, expressing his fear for the safety of his children. It is disheartening to see how quickly a situation can escalate and turn into a dangerous one, affecting not only the individuals involved but also their families.
The incident involving Marcus Rosebrock and his black neighbors highlights the ongoing racial tensions that persist in our society. It serves as a reminder that racism is still a deeply rooted issue that needs to be addressed. While some may argue that this incident was an isolated case, it is crucial to recognize that it is just one of many instances where people of color face discrimination and prejudice.
It is essential for us as a society to have open and honest conversations about race and racism. We need to confront our biases and work towards creating a more inclusive and accepting environment for everyone. By acknowledging and challenging our own prejudices, we can begin to dismantle the systemic racism that continues to plague our communities.
WELL. KARMA!!IS MUTHA FUCKER DAT’S WHAT YOU GIT!!DUMD ASS !!LOOK AT UR CHILDREN NOW! UHMMMM .BLESSINGS YA’LL. 😒🫣🤔🍁🍁🍁🍁🍷🍷🍷💜😊😜
Perfectly Said!!!!!!
You know DAMN WELL if he would have asked the black partiers to keep it down he would been attacked and told to STFU. No one is more racist or selfish than young African Americans.
Not ALL young AA are racist. Check out the story about the AA bookstore owners in Raleigh, NC who are being forced to close their bookstore because of threats to them and their 13yr old son. Why, because they are selling books that educate children (black and white).
$1000 says they are behind on their rent and pulling a Jussie Smollet.
You need to get a new handle, because you are nothing like King Solomon. He was just and impartial, something you are not.
What does that have to do with anything, you sound real stupid?.
believe incomplete story – would like to see actual police report on this matter
Your statement is derivative and not based on logic. The host was an esteemed medical doctor who had attendees who were attorneys, doctors, and business leaders. Let’s reverse it. If they had watered down, you and your guest, would you be ok with it? If their children’s safety and their livelihood were being called into question, would you demand this stop? Likely, no. You might think it is unfortunate that his children are being impacted by his poor decisions, but hey – isn’t that a part of life anyway? Let’s be clear – if a black person had hosed down their neighbors’ guests, regardless of color, this would still be a huge deal in society and media.
You do not understand the meaning of hosing black people. Did you read about hosing people in the 60’s. If they are your neighbors call next door and ask them to turn down the noise or call the police if you did not feel comfort or you do not have the number because you are not neighborly. I have called my neighbor if I had a problem. I have their number.
Really, Hell is built on the Souls of white people, for all the massacres that wiped out countless African Americans, Indians, and so on for Centuries.
African Americans didn’t create racism and Young African Americans are products of a society that facilitates their indoctrination through so called education and lived experience. So what do you expect, a turned cheek??!! Karma is a bitch!!
Not true. He should have asked, there was a possibility they would have obliged, but to think that spraying water on an adult was going to solve the problem, come on, he created the problem, now he has to deal with it.
Well, I guess that’s correct. Sounds like a lot more than “microaggression”. It was a very aggressive, stupid, rude thing to do. marcus apparently wasn’t thinking of his children when he decided to water folks down. If in fact, if marcus was thinking at all? I wonder what in fact marcus was thinking about. Probably thinking racist and disrespectful thoughts towards Black Folks. I have to be honest, if that was my party and my guest. I promise you very sincerely, a nazi named marcus rosebrock would be doing any current thinking from a hospital intensive care unit, with his children. Man, this is 2024, Russia’s President just told’em Jesus was Black, and white racist still can’t get no act right! There’s only one solution to the white problem, and Toussaint gave us the blueprint way back in the 1700’s-circa 1800’s. Black People we have major work to do…
African American families have constant fear for their children due to racist people like this. Now that your children are being threatened for something YOU did, someone is supposed to care! Karma is a bitch ain’t it. next time keep your waterhose to yourself.

thank you ,because this shit is so wrong, if he had been nice about it, maybe him and his family would have been invited over, but to take matters in your own hand is crazy and now he get to see what so many black families had to deal with for years and years, I like to know how he feel after receiving those threats that blacks has been getting for years ,

thank you , no family should have to deal with this ,it suppose to be a free country, but how can a black person feel free when we have to keep dealing with stuff like this every day
thank you , I agree with everything you said
thank you , well said
You have a lot of nerve to complain about a situation that you started. we are afraid for our children on a daily basis not because of something we needed but becaus
e of the color of our skin. how dare you! I will never understand why white people are so afraid of us. we never enslaved none of you never raped any of you never took your children away from you never made you work for free never hung you from a tree never made you sit at the back of the bus never denied you the right to read the right to vote the right to live. white people had all the control you were happy then right well wrong. you need to learn from your past and not let it affect your future.
They are so-called afraid because of what they’ve done to the black race, and fear that we will seek revenge. Bottom line is they continue to live in the past, which allows them to think that they are the only ones that deserve the best, and that they are the best ( the privileged); but if it hadn’t been for our ancestors making money for them, they wouldn’t have the things that they do have. Those that are still living in the past, are upset at the fact that they have less than most blacks, they can’t mind their own business because they’re too busy trying to mind ours.
The black race needs to continue to work together, believe in God; and never let anyone talk down to you, take what you have, and try to place you beneath them. Teach your children to be strong, and educated.
It’s ridiculous to say that Black people have never sought revenge against Whites. Of course they have, and do, on a regular basis. When you make such extreme statements, you lose credibility. Racism is alive and well, unfortunately. Approach the subject with perspective; otherwise, what you say will just be dismissed, and never considered.
So Sad…
This is absolutely horrible. This awful person did not need to hose anyone! He could have simply and respectfully asked them to keep the noise down. Not neighborly at all. Of course it was because they were black. If they had been white, this never would have happened. I am so disgusted with racist people.
I agree, it’s about that hateration!
Your comment is so dumb! More than likely, if the white neighbor had asked the black partygoers very nicely to keep it down, I’m sure they would have agreed. But to turn on a water hose?! And now he is afraid for his children because he is receiving death threats! Young AA adults are not the most racist, they are the most targeted and killed by police. So keep your stupid racist comments to yourself! You truly need to be educated!
honestly I don’t think it was right. but to all the people saying ask nicely evidently he did and made a noise complaint with the police that went unheeded. I don’t think he was particularly thinking about what color these people were. obviously he wasn’t think8ng about anything or it would have been handled more appropriately but let’s not all jump to the conclusion that this was racial.
Racism permeates the very fabric of this society. It’s fundamental to the subconscious thinking and related privilege actions of white folk who disavow it’s continues existence. While his conscience actions may or may not be overtly racist, to white people, the underlying privilege propelling his actions certainly attest to the fundamental racist mentality.
If the man wasn’t racist, then what is this comment he said? ” he said. “They [his kids] are already scared, we had to let them know what was going on because there are a lot of black families in the area, but it is not like that.”
