It's the same if you tried to do the same but at a mental institution instead of a bar. It's not happening.

So true.. racism is clearly never going away if people think Loss Prevention is racist.

Why am I burdened, as a black person who does not steal, when a white person who does not steal is not burdened in regards to purchasing hair care products?

Do you have a problem with that?

I don't know. It does seem that many have that thought, though.

So what does an honest convo about race look like?

typical.....complain about the stores

...but do absolutely nothing to change the perception

if decent black people ever get the cajones to start speaking up and pushing back about the "one size fits all"....gansta black culture.....then we will finally see some real change

and as long as they do nothing.....nothing is going to change

It's not up to "white folks"....yellow, green, purple....to do squat....except just give more and more

So if products aren't locked up in say, a shop in Beverly Hills, but under lock & key in lily-white Vermont what conclusion could we draw from that? Poor people aren't to trusted? Rural people? white New Englanders?

How it started in Minneapolis. They decided that arresting people for shoplifting is racist.

We had one cop in the little town I grew up in who didn’t even carry a gun most of the time or at least left it in the car. No one locked their doors. We took care of most problems adult to adult with very little Police intervention.

Yes, we were 100% white in that little town.
