Gentrification

All of a sudden?

he's not saying its new. he's saying it being news is new. which is true. nikkas like me been told to keep their bags at the front of the store for years while cacs and women walk around with bags all day

 

[FaTaL]

sounds like a great option at a lawsuit, just walk around until you get harassed

 

[spliz]

TO YOUR CAR?

I'm pretty sure they can't follow you out of the store.

They can't...

 

[Dwolf]

You know where they don't stop you? In theyre online store.....

I havent experienced any racism personally. There's a lot of black workers, most of our customers are old white folks, we don't get many black customers

If some racist shyt happen , I'm snitching. I probably steal a couple things before I snitch though.

are they racist? or you dont "see" racism until some white chick points it out, like paula deen enterprise

 

[Ricky Church]

...never heard of him.

 

[concise]

In those high end stores, black people have to damn near look like James Bond to not get harassed

They think you're some broke criminal that can't afford their clothes otherwise. Meanwhile the middle aged cac is wearing route 66 jeans and new balances and shops without a problem.

Macy's isn't a high end store, tho. And it's not on 5th Avenue, either.

And the woman still didn't win the lawsuit. They threw it out.

the article about barneys said that there has been alot of credit card fraud lately among black people, thats why they are being targeted. Not saying I believe, or that its right but thats nypd's position

That's a complete lie. I don't buy that for a second.

Macy's employees and the NYPD are clearly not fans of Treme and that's the only reason he was followed and detained.....

 

[Danie84]

Which Macy's was this, in Dix Hills

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

The denial of racism in the comment section of the article and all the people cosigning tho

This is pure nonsense. If anyone has been to Macy's on 34th St in Manhattan, then you know that there are tons of black and latin people who both work there and shop there on any given day. Dang near half the employees themselves are black or Latino.

a lot of dudes talking out their ass in the thread. i doubt dude was profiled cause of race
