Candis Doss, 25, told Fox 2 that she called Detroit Limo Party Busโ€”a company that she found on Craigslistโ€”to get a quote while she was driving. Her phone dropped the call, she says. Before she could call back, she received a text message from the number she had called that read:

"Why do black people always just hang upโ€ฆIs it an inherited thing to be rude? or is it because you were slaves for so long?"โ€”WWW.DetroitLimoPartyBus.com

Doss says she has never encountered racism until she received the text message. "It never happened to me, or somebody that was just close to me, where I could feel what they feel. I feel what everybody feels now, I mean, it's just like - when is it gonna stop?" she shared with Fox 2.

Fox 2 reached out to the limo company, which said it would look into the matter. In the meantime, the company has offered Doss a free limo for her mother's special day.
