Police were called to a residence in Cobb County in the US state of Georgia, after a white woman reported a black man for babysitting two white children.
As he shopped while babysitting the children of David Parker and Dana Mango, Corey Lewis was stopped by a woman and asked if the children were okay.
"We then left to go get gas, she moved closer and waited there," said Mr Lewis.
The woman then returned later to ask if she could speak to the children, before Mr Lewis said no, leading to the police being called.
Mr Lewis then returned home, before Cobb County Police showed up.
The officer questioned the 10-year-old and the 6-year-old before calling their parents.
"I said are you saying that because there's an African American male driving my two white kids, that he was stopped and pulled over and questioned and he said I'm sorry ma'am that’s exactly what I'm saying," Mango told CBS46.
The parents confirmed to CBS46 that Mr Lewis had been arranged to babysit weeks ago, with their son part of his mentoring programme, 'Inspired by Lewis.'
"B-W-B which I guess is the new thing, babysitting while black," said the father.
