Very black. Not a "c00n" bone in my body. Grew up on the rough side, for real, not for fake like most of the fake rappers/community leaders. I run with people who are actually trying to change the community, I just dont talk about it online.

I am tellling you, that we let ourselves get turned into "victims", passive victims who won't fix our flaws. We are not that, we are stronger than that. All we are saying to the next 15 year old chick is go have kids, and spend your cash on high end stores because they are now bound to accept your $.

They don't desrve our dollars, but news flash - they never did. It's not just this incidident, so this incident means nothing to me.

Now the young man who was arrested - that is different to me. He was actually arrested! His freedom was taken away! Not right...
What was this young lady's "flaw"?

This is the reason I couldn't stomach the other thread and the reason I'm SMH at some people's comments here.

So what if they spent $350 and $2500 respectively on stuff they wanted...it's THEIR MONEY! That's not the issue. Whatever qualms you have with that are yours.

The issue is them being profiled, discriminated against, and eventually seen as criminals for being paying customers in a store like everybody else.

And it's their store. You have got to be a complete dumbass to continually let people commit fraud and credit card scams, especially if it's rampant in area.

But going from your criteria, people do what they want with their property, so if they think she is suspicious buying a $2500 purse with a Rush card, then shyt....sounds suspicious to me!

If we know that these places dont want "our kind" then we need to create our "own". And lot's of times, these discriminations are done by employees with their own suspicions. Do you think they pulled people together that morning and said "make sure no blacks come in here, company policy!!!"

It's the individual, and thier own prejudice views...

Her "flaw'? Her flaw is that she chose to support Barneys with a check larger than one she will ever see for the rest of the year, instead of doing something to upgrade her childs future in some way.

Only lower income people get larger tax returns, especially if you are 21 and work at Home Depot. She has one child, and is about 7 months pregnant at this very moment. Likely a single parent.

The word flaw is not a disrespectful term, its a true statement. It is a flawed way of thinking to think that she should take her largest check of the year and get a handbag.

Where does this thinking come from? Mostly what WE perpetrate on tv and Worldstar. We have to hold our "leaders" more accountable than to say "You are a BUM if you aint wearing 40000 shoes."...

If her situation is exactly as you've said it is, you are absolutely correct. The gist of it is, WE DONT KNOW. We can "what if" all day long-- maybe she is married and cheating on her taxes to get more money, maybe the father of her child is present and supporting the child, maybe she doesnt have the mentality you say she has and loves getting an education, maybe she got 3000 back from school and invested that in her kid, maybe she will spend five times as much as that on her kid when she becomes a nurse, maybe she spent every loose nickel on her kid during the year and decided to splurge this one time, maybe her kid will see her in school and value education too, maybe she'll graduate, move into your neighborhood and contribute more to the community that any unflawed person you know.
I dont know any of this. She didnt bring this on herself by shopping. She fukked up by being black.

I know this because she said it in the article lol. And that she is currently a large pregnant woman in the photo used for the article, so this would be her 2nd child.

Also her job was listed in the article from her, and she said she used her tax return. Common adult knowledge lends you to know why you get a certain level of tax return, lets not be ignorant here.

Your tax return when you work at a plae like Home Depot will be your largest check of the entire year. Most people tax returns are their largest check of the year. I mean let's not be ignorant again here.

I might be the only person worried about the actual young lady and her future when all you all care about is some fake social outrage. I will re up this next month and see how much everyone cares about social profiling, meanwhile we have another young child being raised by a mother will some misplaced priorities that some adults around her can help her spin her thought process into a greater direction.

Thats not a knock on her, because I dont know her, but I do know some obvious facts.

And despite all this drivel you still only have assumptions. You don't know anything about this women's finances, tax information, parental skills, nothing. You just seen her pic and drafted up every negative stereotype typical of the cac mind. This women could be just a single mom wage slaving at home depot. She could be a manager making a nice salary. Wouldnt be surprising since she is a nursing student, a positive you failed to mention during your self righteous soap box posts. She could have rich relatives or a sugar daddy for all we know. The simple fact is we don't have enought evidence to deem her as irresponsible or lacking priorities. Lets not make this about her, who did nothing wrong, and keep it focused on this department store/NYPD's egregious racial profiling. Cacs already label us with all these stigmas regardless. We don't need house nikka Dom Lemon types to further define us

you want to get mad at your nose for sneezing, but not attack the actual illness.

Maybe you do need a "Dom Lemon" type who will actually speak out instead of a Russell Simmons who will sell you a Rush card and make Harriet Tubman rape videos. Hmmm...

You know good and gotdamn well this young woman isn't a manager at Home Depot. And the story goes, and she admitted, that she put the money from a tax return to open a new bank account, so your little made up fantasies aren't real. She paid for a handbag, almost 3gs, with a blank debit card. In case you dont know, you can't verify an ID with a blank nameless debit card, but you can swipe money with it. So for any regular idiot, that would put up a red flag.

NYC has issues. Stop and frisk is ridiculous. Anyone who is not rioting over that drivel should sit their asses down and shutup over some young chick overextending on a purse and getting questioned about it because she used a blank atm card.

You have enough evidence to deem her irresponsible, because we know she is 21 with 2 kids and needed her tex return to buy this purse. Period. But you are more about making this a point that I am trying to villianize the woman and not the larger issue at hand, which is our priorities as blacks.

Victim mentality our generation has, we don't stand and fight we cry about b.s. and hope Jay-Z will change us. Stand up and be a man. You can't fight others unless your own home is in order.

She did do something wrong. Not legally, but she did something that a lot of our young next generationers have done, and its time to change. Who cares, Barneys could sell to every black person in the world and it aint gonna make the african american culture any better. We have bigger fish to fry is the point I am making.

Look at you now. CAC. Cracka ass cracker, am I correct? I mean, seriously, you use CAC so often that you dont even know you are using it probably. Like say um, a message board we stumble upon that are calling us Nigs or whatever is the same ass thing! So its cool to call other races CACS and all that but we are such the victim when people do things to us.
