Once again, happening once doesn't make it a practice. Sounds like you're simply looking to be "outraged" about it.
I also never condoned what the store did, I simply said people are making this out to be some international incident.
minimizing it and passively accepting it (which you are doing) is an acceptance of there tactics, which will allow for this to keep happenning.
if you put up a megaphone and put them on blast, they will learn and not do it again.
look at barneys. they know there under pressure, they just issued a release an hour ago. they can feel it and know that they will be watched going forward.
sweeping it under the rug does not address the problem.

Kinda like black on black crime epidemic in this country? I guess a black kid getting stopped about a questionable purchase ranks higher on the list than children getting moved down daily in places like S. Chicago.
Some folks sure do have some jacked up priorities.
Really? Where did I say that you did any such thing? Where did I say that ALL cons did?.
jesus h. christ. i posted it twice, and bolded it both times
this time i'll make it bold, underlined and red, just so you may have half a chance of seeing it.
here it is for the third time. third time's a charm?

it's a stretch to say that your claim that 'every single con on this forum' said something they didn't say - is a flat-out lie?
Congratulations! Biggest stretch of today! Completely wrong, but an impressive effort. Gold star for you for Most Subtle Racist Post, too.
I believe that we are all equally capable of taking care of ourselves.
Lefties have gotten it into their heads that certain groups need help to keep up.
That's where "affirmative action" comes in. Some help, huh?
Blacks are still dead last in every single economic and educational indicator....and it isn't because they're not capable of improving....it's because a certain group prefers to keep them there.

You are calling me defensive and all i did was ask you if you had any luxury items, but you dont think what you said was defensive ???
yep, the stink of faux outrage in this thread is overwhelming.
Would these same folks be up in arms if it was a white kid that got questioned about the purchase? I doubt it. Another day, another overreaction simply due to a black kid being involved.
I love it when white people arrogantly counsel black people about why they are always at fault for having to suffer white racism...
Lol.. And I am surprised and impressed that you detected how condescending, empathetic/smug that comment
was actually. Gold star for you too.
Someone needs to.
Blacks in America have been under the control of lefties for the last 60+ years, yet blacks are STILL dead last, as I stated in a previous post, dead last in every single economic and education indicator.

The rev just showed up for the photo op, to make a political attack on guns and to of course help deflect the real problem in Chicago which is racist and selective policing policies. If only the city were a republican stronghold, then the rev could open his mouth and speak the truth.
Sharpton (to his credit) at least attempted this a little bit before being told to tone it down "or else".
Ah yes, reminds me of how MLK got treated by Mayor Daley (the dad).
You are side stepping again, the point was the person i responded to claimed they never did it, they obviously have, and quite often at that.
So, reading the comments for the article and also some comments here, why are people even bringing up " why is he wasting his money on a 300 dollar belt" and "why is he embracing the thug lifestyle" etc.
Like that even matters. People spend money on stupid things all the time.
I have to say, from this article unless there is anything else we don't know, which I doubt, this is a clear case of racism.
BUT
Do I think it represent the store? NO. I think it was an isolated incident.
