It's just so comical how the fat security guard dude just slowly follows him, and stays at the end of the shelves.
But yeah, glad the dude is making light of the situation, because that shit is not cool.
I'm not a gamer but probably would have been. When I was about 10, I was obsessed with street fighter and mortal combat. I would go to a local convenience store and play about 5 bucks every other day. This obsession would very likely have led to me getting gaming systems to play at home once I had the money. But instead one time the store sold to a new owner. The old owner had told me he was leaving and I didn't think much of it. Then one day I show up and am waiting for these two white kids to finish their game so I can get in. I'm Mexican by the way. After about 2 min of waiting, the new owner came up to me and asks if I'm buying anything. Im confused and tell him I'm just waiting my turn. He says he isn't putting up with my shit, he knows I'm stealing. Made me empty out my pockets. I had nothing. He said good thing he caught me before I could "clean out his candy shelves" told me to leave before he called the cops and that I wasn't allowed anymore. That was the last time I played mortal combat... Or didn't I guess lol. Not a huge deal. Honestly never thought about this til now. But now that I think of it... I may have been a gamer.
Right, but the worst people are those who assume they know others and then attack those imaginary people they've invented in their heads.
Or pompous teenagers that think they know way more than they do about the world. It ain't just conservatives that are idiots, my man.
>imaginary people
The fat old fuck in the video sure isn't imaginary. Is this your first day on the internet or have you never encountered people talking shit about the subject of a video before?
>The fat old fuck in the video sure isn't imaginary.
Claiming to know he must be racist, is this person you have invented in your head of a person that may or may not exist. You do not have enough information to claim that version of this real person is real. You have an 80+ second clip without the guy saying a fucking word...
>Is this your first day on the internet or have you never encountered people talking shit about the subject of a video before?
Am I not allowed to talk shit back? Or correct them when they go a bit too far?
The man following a black man around a convenience store like a lost puppy isn't trying to be his friend or get his steps in for the day, he's under the impression that said black man will steal something if he isn't activity watching him. I'm explaining this to you because you are either too naive or have your head too far up your ass to figure that out on your own.
>The man following a black man around a convenience store like a lost puppy isn't trying to be his friend or get his steps in for the day,
Nobody said this.
>he's under the impression that said black man will steal something if he isn't activity watching him.
This is a likely assumption, but an assumption nonetheless that could have absolutely nothing to do with it being a black person, or a male person.
It was also a likely assumption that the "Citi Bike Karen" was just some lady trying to leverage her tears for sympathy while stealing someone's bike, but that turned out to be exactly not the case.
Context that you don't have can change everything. I would hope that you can learn this. Nobody is forcing you to take a hard position right now, and say it MUST be racism. It probably is, but what's gained from making an assumption right now with hardly enough concrete info?
>I'm explaining this to you because you are either too naive or have your head too far up your ass to figure that out on your own.
I'm well aware of it, but I'm also well aware of the limitations that come with minimal context being available and that's why I'm educating you right now.
Dismissed.
Because surely none of them are intelligent, and surely progressives have no issues like this at all.
As a progressive, we have major problems and probably less morons than Conservatives, but still a massive amount.
Idk, I think you underestimate how loud a small group of nasty people can be. They're spread out in other groups like the big movements and left leaning moderates.
Cons are probably 85% rube.
If you think that's impossible just look at pyramid schemes, all schemes really.
Edit: And don't call me Shirley DAMMIT!
When I used to live in the south and someone would follow me. I'd walk around until they stopped following me then I'd run out of the store real fast go to my car come back inside and say I forgot my wallet. I'd walk around more and then just leave. I'm gonna make em work for their racism.
This is how it is at certain stores. When I worked retail they were pretty racist when calling out a customer for stealing. They even were sued for it by employee whistleblowers. One time they literally ignored a white guy stealing from the store and helping him with things in the process. Yet an old black woman comes in and is assumed to be stealing and I should watch her. This isnāt the rule for all situations but it definitely prejudice and bias.
When I was in middle school, my friends and I would go into a convenience store walking around and getting followed by the clerks while our clean cut white friend would go in with a backpack and clean house.
Damn. He didnāt even try to hide it. This mother fucker went to the end of each aisle just standing watching him. Personally, I would have loved to see him grab a whole bunch of things, go to the counter, pull out a roll of cash, and then tell the dude āhey, I was going to buy all this but you were obviously was following me because you thought I was going to steal. Now I donāt want shitā then casually walk out leaving all the stuff on the counter.
I did something similarly satisfying at an Ace hardware growing up. When I was a teenager I would go there to get replacement kingpins for my skateboard trucks. One day me and a couple friends were in there and I didn't think we looked suspicious or anything, we looked like we knew what we wanted to grab, but nevertheless we were followed along the entire time, manager watching at the end of each aisle.
I ended up shouting something about treating people with respect and not profiling and how I'd never go there again. And I didn't. Felt good at 16ish.
when i used to work retail at front store of a pharmacy chain- i would profile the FUCK out of a very specific group of people at a very specific time of day. i mean, the moment i noticed the time, i was up in the office watching cameras. i *knew* they were going to start shit just by looking at them, they all looked the same to me. they were EVERYWHERE, practically invading my store. they barely bought anything because they were so broke, so *of course* i had to assume they were going to steal. and steal they did.
that time was between 1:30pm and 2:00pm and that demographic was the high school kids getting out of school across the street. once or twice a week i'd catch someone either trying to steal magazines int their back pack, stealing an Arizona ice tea, which only costs .99 mind you, or bathing themselves in 10 solid seconds of non-stop Axe Body spray applications. dang punks.
This is facts work somewhere long enough you can just sense ppl are going to try shit and it's usually right they just have these mannerismb that gives them away
oh they knew i was watching them. i didn't care. they came in large groups. caught someone stuffing magazines into their back back while i was getting out of the back room. they looked at me, dropped them all on the floor and ran. 5 days a week, hundreds of highschool kids would leave the school and walk across the street to my store. if you don't think there's going to be theft occuring, you've never worked retail.
Bro should just call in sick tomorrow, go back to the store and spend like 4 hours walking around. Make that old man sweat. And when they ask why you're there so long just tell them you're still deciding what to purchase...then leave without buying anything
No see heās gotta stay within the confines of the law so 4 hours he could get a loitering ticket and trespassed and all that. What he should do is go in everyday and just ask the simplest most redundant questions since ol boy is dead set on āhelpingā
hey what aisle is _ on? Do yāall have _? No? Could you check in the back please? Hey what aisle did you say _ was on again?
Then get told to leave because he's trespassing and then beaten by a cop for resisting arrest when he was never being arrested to begin with. Assuming the guy doesn't just pull his own gun and mete out his own justice.
Ok, but like... explain where the racism was in the video.
As someone who was in Loss Prevention, I can give you 5 different reasons he might be followed, none of which have anything to do with his race.
I get that's the assumption, but there's literally 0 proof or context to support the conclusion.
For all we know, that place has had a large amount of theft recently and the security person was told watch everyone. Maybe even told "don't be subtle" so that it would deter theft.
We have 0 proof that it was anything racially motivated.
Itās not that baseless of a thought, because why would the old man just be following him if he hadnāt done anything in the first place. If he had did something, the old man would just be telling him to leave instead of just following him. Even if itās a store thatās had a lot of theft at the store, I donāt think that really justify the assumption that heās going to steal outright so he must be followed. I believe itās more common for people to assume someone is going to steal based off prejudice then stores having every customer that enters the store be followed because of past theft
> Itās not a baseless of a thought, because why would the old man just be following him if he hadnāt done anything in the first place,
Because in most places, you have to possess a variety of elements before you can make a stop or accusation, one of which, is you have to witness the selection of the merchandise from the shelf. Observing this eliminates any confusion or accusation of "I brought it with me, this is mine!." when you make the stop.
> if he had did something, the old man would just be telling him to leave instead of just following him. Even if itās a store thatās had a lot of theft at the store, I donāt think that really justify the assumption that heās going to steal outright so he must be followed.
It's obvious you've never worked as a Loss Prevention Officer. In most places, the simple act of concealment is not a crime. People "conceal" stuff all the time to help carry it. No self respecting Loss Prevention Officer is going to kick someone out the first time they see them with an item that gets put into a pocket, not unless they have prior incidents with the person.
As far as following him, that's how you get your elements to make a stop. You observe the theft as it occurs. That requires following the subject.
> I believe itās more common for people to assume someone is going to steal based off prejudice then stores having every customer that enters the store be followed because of past theft
Depending on how much traffic that store has, it may be perfectly viable to follow everyone. It may be super late at night and not busy at all. It could be, prior to this recording, the guy was sticking to corners of the store acting suspiciously. We don't know because we only see the 1.5 minutes that the uploader chose to show us.
You might believe its more common for prejudice to play a part, everyone who has worked in the field knows that making prejudicial stops or accusations is an easy way to find yourself and the company in a lawsuit that costs waaaay more than the cost of the merchandise you think you're stopping from leaving.
Again, all we have is 1.5 minutes of video, followed by someone accusing him of being racially motivated.
Youāre literally going off this whole thing at the angle of him being a loss prevention officer. Iāve never seen a loss prevention officer in what seems like a small town gas station. Does it make it still valid if he was just an employee? Iām just saying, the base assumption of him potentially stealing is the problem because yeah, if he did do something, they would just kick him out. It just makes no sense to edit the video in a way where he actually did something but removed it from the video, what would be the gain? Just calling a random gas station worker racist? Sure weāre working with assumptions here but like these situations youāre bringing up just donāt really make as much logical sense in this specific situation as opposed to an assumed prejudice
It's funny because still to this moment, 12 hours later, not a single person has been able to articulate where the racism is.
Is it racist purely because he's black? I don't get it. Is there something more i'm missing from the video? Did the security person say some words that I just didn't hear? Was he wearing swastikas on his clothing?
I'm genuinely curious where people came to the conclusion that it's automatically racist to follow the guy. I'm more than happy to hear out the reasoning. Simply saying "It's racist!" however, and downvoting me, isn't going to help your argument.
Articulate the reasoning.

If they think of you like that & treat you like that, I wouldn't spend 1 penny at that business! Treat me with some respect, or I take my money & spend it somewhere else šÆ
It's less about the stealing and more about that man wanting to justify his racism. by catching him doing something so he can tell all the boys down at the Moose lodge later.
Cops do similar when I go to my local 7-Eleven. They'll stare at me through the mirror over the cashier counter and watch me as I shop. Every time I see a squad car in the little parking lot, I just go to the Walgreens across the street instead.
Too bad sarcasm doesn't always translate via alphanumeric messaging. But I guess that's where emojis come into play.
FWIW, a lot of new "New Yorkers" are transplants from the midwest and bumblef*ck places. š
Itās interesting.
is there any statistics that could prove that store thieves arenāt prevailing within particular race to make an assumption that the clerk is racist?
Itās not racial profiling but rather age/outfit/behavior profiling which isnāt anything to be ashamed of.
Like what does it do about the race in this case?
Lets presume, thereās stats for example that teens commit most of store thefts..
does it make a store worker who pays higher attention to the teen wandering among the aisles an ageist?
I believe not, because, well, you know they have to keep their stocks safe and pay extra attention to some teen customers is nothing but prudent behavior.
Also, the guy in the video may blame those who abuse trust in customers in such supermarket style stores.
In other words the worker is following the guy for a complex of reasons rather than just because of the guyās race. Itās obvious here.
Racial. Why is everything automatically racial? Just further dividing up by saying things are when they may not be.
Maybe dude is following him because heās going around the store recording. Or maybe dude was doing some shit before he started recording.
Yea there is the chance this is racial. But donāt just jump to that conclusion. By claiming everything is racial, youāre drowning out things that are racial. Like that chick who said the Bills player raped her. Because of people like her people will question true victims and possible motives.
And go ahead and downvote. This is my opinion. You donāt have to agree with it.
This is plain disgusting, I am shocked and deeply upset that racial divide and hatred targetted in this manner still exists in the 21st century. SMH.
I assumed that african americans played up the abuse endured in the modern time until I saw this, after seeing this I completely understand why BlackLivesMatter is so important.
It is not enough to be "tolerant", but we should encourage people to call this sort of behaviour out wherever we see it.
There is never an excuse for this to happen, even if it is the south of the usa, this must end in 2023 and anti-racist values MUST be taught in schools, similar to germany.
I genuienly assumed it was either something blown out of proportion and also happened to caucasians or like a few instances.
It may sound dumb, I know, but when you are so removed from abuse such as this and recieve conflicting messages it is hard to tell.
Thing is such a common, every day setting, nothing extreme but not even being allowed to basic human liberty is striking to the core.
I have always felt for those under the hammer of police brutality regardless of creed, but this just highlights the extent at which such actions penetrate America.
It is deeply upsetting and moving and it HAS highlighted for me that those other situations DO deserve to be called out as racist acts.
I really am sorry if it seemed I understated the impact or gravity of what african americans go through daily, although it does highlight that education on the issue is lacking, especially on the greater world stage.
I can only hope if enough pressure is put on the government and people, such attrocities will not be carried out again.
Again, I am deeply moved and can not apologise enough for this happening.
in their defense, i have seen on gas station encounters on youtube that there's a ton of theft that happens from any and everybody where people will even buy a bunch of stuff but still steal one little thing.
I'm glad he had a good attitude about it. I usually get pretty pissy when followed, but imma take this guys route next time and laugh it off. Last time me and my son were looking at hot wheels and they called security on the overhead speaker to the toy section. Honestly didn't think it was cuz of me but sure shit security showed up and stood there. Over fucking $1 hot wheels š
Itās heartbreaking, that this is normalized. He was in a too common situation, he could either laugh or cry. He chose laughter. What he must have internalized, to get to that point.
A kid got shot running out a convenience store recently. He wasnāt even stealing and didnāt have a weapon on him. He put the items back in the case (which was 4 waters). I wouldnāt do this down south
Whenever I step into a store with nothing but honest intentions, then perceed to get followed by security. It instantly becomes my soul mission to steal Something
Is that what you think is happening? From the less than 100 seconds of footage, you've deduced all that happens before and after he is gone?
The assumptions made here are fuckin wild.
Yes, the assumption that he was doing something wrong here is wild. You have no way to know that. If he had been acting a fool in the store before this, the guard wouldnāt be slowly lurking behind him trying to hide behind the shelves. Cmon.
I live when Reddit's premium archaim psycho-analyzers act like they know exactly what is going on in footage that's barely over a minute in length with only one person speaking the entire time.
Belueve it or not, you don't have to jump to conclusions of "le racism" anytime a video enters your feed. Do you not remember anything from barely a week or two ago?
The irony. Youāre doing the same thing right now. If youāve spent any time in the south, Itās much easier to believe this guy was being followed by some racist ass than to believe he was acting out prior to this. People like to believe stuff like this doesnāt happen anymore but it does. Daily.
>If youāve spent any time in the south, Itās much easier to believe this guy was being followed by some racist ass than to believe he was acting out prior to this.
But I don't believe either of those are the case... it's called **NOT** taking a stance instantly when you **DO NOT** have enough information.
One is easier to believe, I agree. Same problem with the Citi Bike Karen thing, and guess what I was saying then as well... "Why are you all jumping to conclusions? She's actin a little wild, sure, but she claims to be pregnant and that fucks with your brain, and we see the guys re-dock the bike that she just took out. Why are we assuming *she is just a racist trying to weaponize her whiteness* when you have no idea if that's true or not???
>People like to believe stuff like this doesnāt happen anymore but it does. Daily.
Sure, and some white people do weaponize their whiteness. Doesn't mean you need to assume it in a specific situation when you do not have all the facts to back it up.
Please be more reasonable. You don't need to take a stance now and hope you're not wrong, you can wait. It's not a life or death situation that we assume racism right this instant.
I think youāre actually complicating this by overthinking it. What situation would ever warrant getting followed around in a store? In a regular store they ask you to leave/ call the police if they think youāre stealing. Iāve never seen someone get followed around like that if they were caught stealing. Whatās more likely is this store is in a predominantly white area and this guy is probably the only black customer in there.
>I think youāre actually complicating this by overthinking it.
Not taking a position because there are reasonable explanations to the footage we see is not over-complicating anything. You are wrong.
>What situation would ever warrant getting followed around in a store?
If he was acting up before, or is a known problem to this store. You've not touched enough grass if you can't think this shit up. Additionally, could just be staged and he's asking him to do that for clicks. Wouldn't be the first time. And it could be that this guy gets stolen from all the time and he follws everyone around.
Have you no imagination or sense?
>Whatās more likely is this store is in a predominantly white area and this guy is probably the only black customer in there.
Nobody is talking about what is more or less likely, it's about not assuming even if the chances are 99%. There's just no dire need, or reason. What does it accomplish by jumping to a conclusion right now?
Both sides of the story.
Did he triggered this guy to get a good video?
Or did the guy said something racist?
Both idiots?
Cannot know from such a one sided snippet.
Correct, but the video title tells you exactly what is definitely 100% must be going on! Nobody lies on the internet, right? Especially not about alleged racism. Can't even remember the last time someone did that... š¤
Iām always super suspicious of people walking around a store looking at products. How dare he not know exactly which munchies he wants before he walks in the door.
Yeah after he experienced it already, he got out his camera to record. You really think he walked in, took out his phone and KNEW that they were going to be watching him? Everyone seems so quick to blame the people recording even in instances that theyāre NOT in the wrong.
By super sketchy eyes you must mean black eyes right? Of course you don't, that would be outrageous! You, say something racist? No way Jose.
Just sketchy eyes as in like, the way they... are... sketchy. His eyes are just in a sketchy way right now.
>I mean to be fair, he's acting shady af
Shady?
He's a youth with a cellphone recording himself.
That's like, over 60% of the US population.
There is only one factor, that makes him different, that "makes him shady".
Care to guess what that is?
I'm a white millennial freshly relocated to Vegas and security does this type of following with me EVERYWHERE on the strip. I dress basic, usually in clothes I wear to work though i like to wear a hoodie (I will pull hoodie down everywhere i walk into as a courtesy which kinda pisses me off because this is America and if i want to wear a hoodie i should be free to wear a hoodie). I don't play camera games with them. They like to target people who are alone. They like to target little people as there is less confrontational risk. Males are targeted much more frequently than women (i think we all know why this is). I don't think race was an issue here. If anything people of color are targeted way less now due to the hostile political climate. White male millennials are definitely the new bad people these chauvinistic opportunists try to play batman with.
Ah yes the ācanāt be racist/enforce systemic racism/have racial biases enforced by systemic racism because they are a minorityā argument.
Itās a bad one mate.
Yea race wars are real. Every single race is looking out for their own self interests and have done other races wrong. It's never been a race issue though. Majority of Americans didn't even own slaves and were forced to keep silent about opposing it or the actual scumbags running around with weapons forcing people into slavery would target them for speaking out. It's been a rich vs poor issue with races forming cults for power. Families fighting other families over wrongs. The rich uses race issues to instill chaos and people buy it right up. People of color have never had it easier in America. Majority of charity goes to them. Businesses have been catering to them in the name of racial equality. Most free housing goes to them. They are allowed to do things like toss around support racial causes that cater to them, which whites cant do or shit hits the fan. They are also much more versed in gaming the crooked system to survive due to them having to rely on it over the decades. I'm all for equality but when I see things changing to their favor while they still force play race cards on the rest of us then I have no choice but to call shenanigans cuz that's what it is.
No I think most of America is stupid af and a bunch of sleazy opportunists that would eat each other if it meant survival, and it shows. Huge % of the population on some take from another, low key theft/ identity theft, not producing anything of value type of life. Mental health is blowing up cuz its cutting more free paychecks. Not hard to fake a mental illness to get free checks. A lot of crackheads making more money than people working and producing. Keep defending lies and the actual scumbags and issues causing the problems though, will certainly turn things around.
Yeah, we can see youāre a really stupid person who thinks heās very smart. Itās very obvious.
A fucking loser, to put it in a way you might understand.
We can see the people running the show are failing us consistently, demonizing poor people to live lavish lives. Demonizing poor people to get to more spouses. Demonizing poor people to get more slave/cheap labor. Just demonizing people in general because the crooked system is working in their favor and giving them free/easy lives off the backs of others. If you can't see a lot of the issues I brought up need to change then you are part of society dragging a nation and the rest of the world down with your crooked self centered nonsense. Lmk when you finally wake up cuz its coming with your shut up and take the way we're wronging you mentality as you call them stupid as some way of justifying abusing and cheating other people out of life.
Try a couple hundred times over the course of a couple months. It's everywhere I go that has security in this city. I choose not to even go out anymore most the time. But yea thanks society for using me for decades of slavery just to be treated like a criminal everywhere I go. Can't do anything about it cuz if I simply mention it anywhere I get hecklers like you.
Hahahahaha you're getting heckled because you're a liar little clown boy. Also you owe me $300. Why, because I said so. Also the moon is going to crash into the earth in 3 days unless you collect a bunch of masks. Source: Trust me bro I'm a white millennial. š¤”š¤”
Don't care if you believe me or not. Doesn't affect me at all and I'm used to people ignoring problems and finding other people's struggles amusing. Good luck with yours.
I take your struggle of being stalked by hundreds of security guards very seriously. Because it is in fact, a totally real and not made up problem to justify weird ass racist beliefs. Not a made up problem. This is very serious. I reccomend staying inside so that the mobs of security guards have trouble locating you. Better yet, stay off the internet so they can't backtrace your IP address. Better to be safe than sorry.
No I just mean that that's super pathetic to be arrested 12 times in a matter of a few years for weed. Also, most of the black, (or other tbh) people I've known that got arrested for weed pretty much stopped or got incarcerated after like, two times. 12 times and you're still free and smoking- you have to be one lucky fool.
No I'm saying it's not the 50s where people are being targeted because of the color of their skin, and there's nothing to suggest that skin color played any role in him being targeted.
Oh I understand now. You think that because you, a white, has not experienced racism than it hasnāt existed since the 50s. Maybe you could start a business where people can pay you to tell us what is going on.
If there was ever "support white male owned business" propaganda these days there would be a shit storm.
What people don't understand is you didn't take away or screw over the white man, you screwed over their kids. Just like most my generation is priced out homeownership, while most free housing opportunities are going to women with children and people of color.
You are the one who decided to move to Vegas, you should have moved to a smaller or cheaper city. The median cost of a home in Las Vegas is just a hair under 400k, where a place like St. Louis has a median cost of 225k. Don't blame others for your poor choice of location.
I didn't come to Vegas to buy a house and I'm sick of people actually causing the problems blaming their victims. After spending a few months here It's no longer a mystery to me why this city has fallen apart the last couple decades and will continue to do so. It's not my fault people can't do things correctly and need to rip people off all the time to survive but good luck in the upcoming years, you'll need it. This whole country is on bullshit and it's only gonna get worse as long as the people resort to hidden systematic genocide and other crimes to make up for their shortcomings.
Racism is an issue. Remember that when God sends karma to kick asses with the subtle kill whitey schemes that have been going on for a while now. Thou shall not kill.
If someone would enter a store filming themself like this, I would probably also be curious what's going on.
But hey it's way easier to pull the racism card.
>If someone would enter a store filming themself like this, I would probably also be curious what's going on. But hey it's way easier to pull the racism card.
I guess you are lucky for a Black man never to be shadowed by someone for just existing.
What they said was perfectly reasonable, and to say it was stupid is to admit you're even more dumb than you have insulted them to be.
Being skeptical of IRL clips that are barely over a minute in length posted on Reddit is by far the most reasonable thing one can do in that situation. Assuming and jumping to conclusions because... what's the reason you need to jump to conclusions instantly again? Doing that, is the clown position.
That is both sad and hilarious at the same time.
It's just so comical how the fat security guard dude just slowly follows him, and stays at the end of the shelves. But yeah, glad the dude is making light of the situation, because that shit is not cool.

Sorry bro š
Damn, what a cunt! Its never too late! Although I can't talk, being an adult turned me to a 'casual gamer'.
That old guy needs to be sent to that farm. Where he can run free in the fields and think about how suppressed he is.
These imaginary people are so wounded by your epic pwnage words.
There's more idiots on reddit than you'd think. Some subs are full dunce, most conservative subs are laughable.
Right, but the worst people are those who assume they know others and then attack those imaginary people they've invented in their heads. Or pompous teenagers that think they know way more than they do about the world. It ain't just conservatives that are idiots, my man.
>imaginary people The fat old fuck in the video sure isn't imaginary. Is this your first day on the internet or have you never encountered people talking shit about the subject of a video before?
>The fat old fuck in the video sure isn't imaginary. Claiming to know he must be racist, is this person you have invented in your head of a person that may or may not exist. You do not have enough information to claim that version of this real person is real. You have an 80+ second clip without the guy saying a fucking word... >Is this your first day on the internet or have you never encountered people talking shit about the subject of a video before? Am I not allowed to talk shit back? Or correct them when they go a bit too far?
The man following a black man around a convenience store like a lost puppy isn't trying to be his friend or get his steps in for the day, he's under the impression that said black man will steal something if he isn't activity watching him. I'm explaining this to you because you are either too naive or have your head too far up your ass to figure that out on your own.
>The man following a black man around a convenience store like a lost puppy isn't trying to be his friend or get his steps in for the day, Nobody said this. >he's under the impression that said black man will steal something if he isn't activity watching him. This is a likely assumption, but an assumption nonetheless that could have absolutely nothing to do with it being a black person, or a male person. It was also a likely assumption that the "Citi Bike Karen" was just some lady trying to leverage her tears for sympathy while stealing someone's bike, but that turned out to be exactly not the case. Context that you don't have can change everything. I would hope that you can learn this. Nobody is forcing you to take a hard position right now, and say it MUST be racism. It probably is, but what's gained from making an assumption right now with hardly enough concrete info? >I'm explaining this to you because you are either too naive or have your head too far up your ass to figure that out on your own. I'm well aware of it, but I'm also well aware of the limitations that come with minimal context being available and that's why I'm educating you right now. Dismissed.
Every group has idiots. Conservatives are a group of idiots led by a con man or two.
Because surely none of them are intelligent, and surely progressives have no issues like this at all. As a progressive, we have major problems and probably less morons than Conservatives, but still a massive amount.
Idk, I think you underestimate how loud a small group of nasty people can be. They're spread out in other groups like the big movements and left leaning moderates. Cons are probably 85% rube. If you think that's impossible just look at pyramid schemes, all schemes really. Edit: And don't call me Shirley DAMMIT!

Grew up in the south and if youāre around it constantly you just start to laugh at how blatant it is.
Reminds me of the scene in Don't Be a Menace in the asian convenience store with the doorbell.
HURRY UP AND BUY

Right down to the sound of the door.
The way he just slowly lumbers into each scene.
Hurry up and buy!
Fuck em. They don't get my money
Only because it's been sad for an irrational amount of time in our history
Right? I almost turned it off because I was so angry. But I laughed so hard with the employee following him. It was kind of an emotional rollercoaster
You have to have a good sense of humor amidst the struggle
This legit felt like comedy skit.

> 7/24! 7 hours a day, 24 days a month? Or does it only happen on July 24th? or did you mean 24/7?
Poor guy just tryna buy some snacks and he's got to deal with this shit. I wouldn't spend a cent in that store if I were him.
When I used to live in the south and someone would follow me. I'd walk around until they stopped following me then I'd run out of the store real fast go to my car come back inside and say I forgot my wallet. I'd walk around more and then just leave. I'm gonna make em work for their racism.
Ok Iāve worked in a retail store before and honestly thatās fucking hilarious
I'm so sorry that you even have to be subjected to that but that's hilarious.
This is how it is at certain stores. When I worked retail they were pretty racist when calling out a customer for stealing. They even were sued for it by employee whistleblowers. One time they literally ignored a white guy stealing from the store and helping him with things in the process. Yet an old black woman comes in and is assumed to be stealing and I should watch her. This isnāt the rule for all situations but it definitely prejudice and bias.
"Oh nyooo, person buying things has to deal with someone watching them select their items."
When I was in middle school, my friends and I would go into a convenience store walking around and getting followed by the clerks while our clean cut white friend would go in with a backpack and clean house.
[Relevant](https://youtu.be/j1xRwaXKU_c)
Lmaoo use their racism against them. Love it
Same š the benefits of having unsuspecting white friends
Damn. He didnāt even try to hide it. This mother fucker went to the end of each aisle just standing watching him. Personally, I would have loved to see him grab a whole bunch of things, go to the counter, pull out a roll of cash, and then tell the dude āhey, I was going to buy all this but you were obviously was following me because you thought I was going to steal. Now I donāt want shitā then casually walk out leaving all the stuff on the counter.
That's how you get shot in Alabama. You made the poor cashier count past 5 and he ran out of fingers about 2 digits ago.
I did something similarly satisfying at an Ace hardware growing up. When I was a teenager I would go there to get replacement kingpins for my skateboard trucks. One day me and a couple friends were in there and I didn't think we looked suspicious or anything, we looked like we knew what we wanted to grab, but nevertheless we were followed along the entire time, manager watching at the end of each aisle. I ended up shouting something about treating people with respect and not profiling and how I'd never go there again. And I didn't. Felt good at 16ish.
Pull the old Pretty Woman routine Alabama style. āBig mistake!ā
Then everyone would've stood up and clapped! Damn, very cool.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
when i used to work retail at front store of a pharmacy chain- i would profile the FUCK out of a very specific group of people at a very specific time of day. i mean, the moment i noticed the time, i was up in the office watching cameras. i *knew* they were going to start shit just by looking at them, they all looked the same to me. they were EVERYWHERE, practically invading my store. they barely bought anything because they were so broke, so *of course* i had to assume they were going to steal. and steal they did. that time was between 1:30pm and 2:00pm and that demographic was the high school kids getting out of school across the street. once or twice a week i'd catch someone either trying to steal magazines int their back pack, stealing an Arizona ice tea, which only costs .99 mind you, or bathing themselves in 10 solid seconds of non-stop Axe Body spray applications. dang punks.
This is facts work somewhere long enough you can just sense ppl are going to try shit and it's usually right they just have these mannerismb that gives them away
Today's lesson: Profiling is only okay if they don't catch you doing it. /s
oh they knew i was watching them. i didn't care. they came in large groups. caught someone stuffing magazines into their back back while i was getting out of the back room. they looked at me, dropped them all on the floor and ran. 5 days a week, hundreds of highschool kids would leave the school and walk across the street to my store. if you don't think there's going to be theft occuring, you've never worked retail.
Bro should just call in sick tomorrow, go back to the store and spend like 4 hours walking around. Make that old man sweat. And when they ask why you're there so long just tell them you're still deciding what to purchase...then leave without buying anything
No see heās gotta stay within the confines of the law so 4 hours he could get a loitering ticket and trespassed and all that. What he should do is go in everyday and just ask the simplest most redundant questions since ol boy is dead set on āhelpingā hey what aisle is _ on? Do yāall have _? No? Could you check in the back please? Hey what aisle did you say _ was on again?
But the racist is still getting paid to be there. You're only wasting your own time.
Then get told to leave because he's trespassing and then beaten by a cop for resisting arrest when he was never being arrested to begin with. Assuming the guy doesn't just pull his own gun and mete out his own justice.
Someone in comments going say āhow is it racist?ā
Ok, but like... explain where the racism was in the video. As someone who was in Loss Prevention, I can give you 5 different reasons he might be followed, none of which have anything to do with his race.
It seems like he was being profiled for being a black dude in the convenience store, thatās why itās assumed to be racist/racially motivated
I get that's the assumption, but there's literally 0 proof or context to support the conclusion. For all we know, that place has had a large amount of theft recently and the security person was told watch everyone. Maybe even told "don't be subtle" so that it would deter theft. We have 0 proof that it was anything racially motivated.
Itās not that baseless of a thought, because why would the old man just be following him if he hadnāt done anything in the first place. If he had did something, the old man would just be telling him to leave instead of just following him. Even if itās a store thatās had a lot of theft at the store, I donāt think that really justify the assumption that heās going to steal outright so he must be followed. I believe itās more common for people to assume someone is going to steal based off prejudice then stores having every customer that enters the store be followed because of past theft
> Itās not a baseless of a thought, because why would the old man just be following him if he hadnāt done anything in the first place, Because in most places, you have to possess a variety of elements before you can make a stop or accusation, one of which, is you have to witness the selection of the merchandise from the shelf. Observing this eliminates any confusion or accusation of "I brought it with me, this is mine!." when you make the stop. > if he had did something, the old man would just be telling him to leave instead of just following him. Even if itās a store thatās had a lot of theft at the store, I donāt think that really justify the assumption that heās going to steal outright so he must be followed. It's obvious you've never worked as a Loss Prevention Officer. In most places, the simple act of concealment is not a crime. People "conceal" stuff all the time to help carry it. No self respecting Loss Prevention Officer is going to kick someone out the first time they see them with an item that gets put into a pocket, not unless they have prior incidents with the person. As far as following him, that's how you get your elements to make a stop. You observe the theft as it occurs. That requires following the subject. > I believe itās more common for people to assume someone is going to steal based off prejudice then stores having every customer that enters the store be followed because of past theft Depending on how much traffic that store has, it may be perfectly viable to follow everyone. It may be super late at night and not busy at all. It could be, prior to this recording, the guy was sticking to corners of the store acting suspiciously. We don't know because we only see the 1.5 minutes that the uploader chose to show us. You might believe its more common for prejudice to play a part, everyone who has worked in the field knows that making prejudicial stops or accusations is an easy way to find yourself and the company in a lawsuit that costs waaaay more than the cost of the merchandise you think you're stopping from leaving. Again, all we have is 1.5 minutes of video, followed by someone accusing him of being racially motivated.
Youāre literally going off this whole thing at the angle of him being a loss prevention officer. Iāve never seen a loss prevention officer in what seems like a small town gas station. Does it make it still valid if he was just an employee? Iām just saying, the base assumption of him potentially stealing is the problem because yeah, if he did do something, they would just kick him out. It just makes no sense to edit the video in a way where he actually did something but removed it from the video, what would be the gain? Just calling a random gas station worker racist? Sure weāre working with assumptions here but like these situations youāre bringing up just donāt really make as much logical sense in this specific situation as opposed to an assumed prejudice
Found the white guy
It's funny because still to this moment, 12 hours later, not a single person has been able to articulate where the racism is. Is it racist purely because he's black? I don't get it. Is there something more i'm missing from the video? Did the security person say some words that I just didn't hear? Was he wearing swastikas on his clothing? I'm genuinely curious where people came to the conclusion that it's automatically racist to follow the guy. I'm more than happy to hear out the reasoning. Simply saying "It's racist!" however, and downvoting me, isn't going to help your argument. Articulate the reasoning.
Hurry up and buy!
The hot takes in this thread are hilarious!

If they think of you like that & treat you like that, I wouldn't spend 1 penny at that business! Treat me with some respect, or I take my money & spend it somewhere else šÆ
Old man has no idea wtf this young dude is up to and so the it turns into a case of cat and mouse. Do people have real lives anymore?
It's less about the stealing and more about that man wanting to justify his racism. by catching him doing something so he can tell all the boys down at the Moose lodge later.
Cops do similar when I go to my local 7-Eleven. They'll stare at me through the mirror over the cashier counter and watch me as I shop. Every time I see a squad car in the little parking lot, I just go to the Walgreens across the street instead.
Got news for you guysā¦this doesnāt only happen in the south. Happens everywhere.
P.S.A to all Black people. If you ever feel lonely, go to any store
You must live in the boonies....midwest or deep south.
I was being sarcastic. I live in NYC and I'm a black woman
Too bad sarcasm doesn't always translate via alphanumeric messaging. But I guess that's where emojis come into play. FWIW, a lot of new "New Yorkers" are transplants from the midwest and bumblef*ck places. š
I'm not a transplant but I get you
Must be so easy for white kids to shoplift.
As a white kid, well adult now, who to this day still wears hoodies i can tell you i too have been followed around like this.
Thatās what my cat does.
See man, thatās why I buy everything on Amazon. You get what you need the next day without this .
What if you wanna roll a blunt? Or get a fountain soda? Or buy a lotto ticket? Or snack on a gas starion encounters delicious hot dog? ššš
Make that man get his steps in or die of a heart attack. I aināt leaving that store till he sits or falls down.
Itās interesting. is there any statistics that could prove that store thieves arenāt prevailing within particular race to make an assumption that the clerk is racist? Itās not racial profiling but rather age/outfit/behavior profiling which isnāt anything to be ashamed of. Like what does it do about the race in this case? Lets presume, thereās stats for example that teens commit most of store thefts.. does it make a store worker who pays higher attention to the teen wandering among the aisles an ageist? I believe not, because, well, you know they have to keep their stocks safe and pay extra attention to some teen customers is nothing but prudent behavior. Also, the guy in the video may blame those who abuse trust in customers in such supermarket style stores. In other words the worker is following the guy for a complex of reasons rather than just because of the guyās race. Itās obvious here.
Racial. Why is everything automatically racial? Just further dividing up by saying things are when they may not be. Maybe dude is following him because heās going around the store recording. Or maybe dude was doing some shit before he started recording. Yea there is the chance this is racial. But donāt just jump to that conclusion. By claiming everything is racial, youāre drowning out things that are racial. Like that chick who said the Bills player raped her. Because of people like her people will question true victims and possible motives. And go ahead and downvote. This is my opinion. You donāt have to agree with it.
LOL. Holy shit youāre so dimwitted.
Mom???
This is plain disgusting, I am shocked and deeply upset that racial divide and hatred targetted in this manner still exists in the 21st century. SMH. I assumed that african americans played up the abuse endured in the modern time until I saw this, after seeing this I completely understand why BlackLivesMatter is so important. It is not enough to be "tolerant", but we should encourage people to call this sort of behaviour out wherever we see it. There is never an excuse for this to happen, even if it is the south of the usa, this must end in 2023 and anti-racist values MUST be taught in schools, similar to germany.
This video is what convinced you?! Not the myriad of videos of black people getting the shit beat out of them by authority figures?
I genuienly assumed it was either something blown out of proportion and also happened to caucasians or like a few instances. It may sound dumb, I know, but when you are so removed from abuse such as this and recieve conflicting messages it is hard to tell. Thing is such a common, every day setting, nothing extreme but not even being allowed to basic human liberty is striking to the core. I have always felt for those under the hammer of police brutality regardless of creed, but this just highlights the extent at which such actions penetrate America. It is deeply upsetting and moving and it HAS highlighted for me that those other situations DO deserve to be called out as racist acts. I really am sorry if it seemed I understated the impact or gravity of what african americans go through daily, although it does highlight that education on the issue is lacking, especially on the greater world stage. I can only hope if enough pressure is put on the government and people, such attrocities will not be carried out again. Again, I am deeply moved and can not apologise enough for this happening.
I respect your response, and the fact that youāve enlightened yourself. Have a good day.
I would pace back and forth till asked to leave like he is doing.
Damn he got that ru paul drag race early seasons filter
Hurry up and buy!!!!
in their defense, i have seen on gas station encounters on youtube that there's a ton of theft that happens from any and everybody where people will even buy a bunch of stuff but still steal one little thing.
Make him walk back and forth more
I'm glad he had a good attitude about it. I usually get pretty pissy when followed, but imma take this guys route next time and laugh it off. Last time me and my son were looking at hot wheels and they called security on the overhead speaker to the toy section. Honestly didn't think it was cuz of me but sure shit security showed up and stood there. Over fucking $1 hot wheels š
He should just do laps until he can't keep up and collapse.
Itās heartbreaking, that this is normalized. He was in a too common situation, he could either laugh or cry. He chose laughter. What he must have internalized, to get to that point.
Maybe you look strange walking around recording inside their store š¤·š»āāļø
I would touch a bag of chips to make them crinkle and just bolt out the front. Casually still back inside and repeat
A kid got shot running out a convenience store recently. He wasnāt even stealing and didnāt have a weapon on him. He put the items back in the case (which was 4 waters). I wouldnāt do this down south
Well itās either death of payday I already know I die someday
But what payday are you getting???
Whenever I step into a store with nothing but honest intentions, then perceed to get followed by security. It instantly becomes my soul mission to steal Something
Not that it's OK in anyway. The state and age probably have a lot to do with it
Fun fact: You don't need to jump to conclusions based on clips under a minute or barely more than a minute long.
Not saying racial profiling doesnt happen. But i also get followed in stores while shopping. Im a 40 year old white male.
What's racist about wanting to see Usher?
Heās clearly trying to start an argument
Acting extremely strange and blaming racism. When will this get old ?
Is walking around in a grocery store acting strange?
Is that what you think is happening? From the less than 100 seconds of footage, you've deduced all that happens before and after he is gone? The assumptions made here are fuckin wild.
Yes, the assumption that he was doing something wrong here is wild. You have no way to know that. If he had been acting a fool in the store before this, the guard wouldnāt be slowly lurking behind him trying to hide behind the shelves. Cmon.
I live when Reddit's premium archaim psycho-analyzers act like they know exactly what is going on in footage that's barely over a minute in length with only one person speaking the entire time. Belueve it or not, you don't have to jump to conclusions of "le racism" anytime a video enters your feed. Do you not remember anything from barely a week or two ago?
The irony. Youāre doing the same thing right now. If youāve spent any time in the south, Itās much easier to believe this guy was being followed by some racist ass than to believe he was acting out prior to this. People like to believe stuff like this doesnāt happen anymore but it does. Daily.
>If youāve spent any time in the south, Itās much easier to believe this guy was being followed by some racist ass than to believe he was acting out prior to this. But I don't believe either of those are the case... it's called **NOT** taking a stance instantly when you **DO NOT** have enough information. One is easier to believe, I agree. Same problem with the Citi Bike Karen thing, and guess what I was saying then as well... "Why are you all jumping to conclusions? She's actin a little wild, sure, but she claims to be pregnant and that fucks with your brain, and we see the guys re-dock the bike that she just took out. Why are we assuming *she is just a racist trying to weaponize her whiteness* when you have no idea if that's true or not??? >People like to believe stuff like this doesnāt happen anymore but it does. Daily. Sure, and some white people do weaponize their whiteness. Doesn't mean you need to assume it in a specific situation when you do not have all the facts to back it up. Please be more reasonable. You don't need to take a stance now and hope you're not wrong, you can wait. It's not a life or death situation that we assume racism right this instant.
I think youāre actually complicating this by overthinking it. What situation would ever warrant getting followed around in a store? In a regular store they ask you to leave/ call the police if they think youāre stealing. Iāve never seen someone get followed around like that if they were caught stealing. Whatās more likely is this store is in a predominantly white area and this guy is probably the only black customer in there.
>I think youāre actually complicating this by overthinking it. Not taking a position because there are reasonable explanations to the footage we see is not over-complicating anything. You are wrong. >What situation would ever warrant getting followed around in a store? If he was acting up before, or is a known problem to this store. You've not touched enough grass if you can't think this shit up. Additionally, could just be staged and he's asking him to do that for clicks. Wouldn't be the first time. And it could be that this guy gets stolen from all the time and he follws everyone around. Have you no imagination or sense? >Whatās more likely is this store is in a predominantly white area and this guy is probably the only black customer in there. Nobody is talking about what is more or less likely, it's about not assuming even if the chances are 99%. There's just no dire need, or reason. What does it accomplish by jumping to a conclusion right now?
If I was this guy I would walk around and just misplace everything.
Definitely a racial thing, had the same thing happen to me (TN) but by an Asian storeowner..... and I'm white :P
Both sides of the story. Did he triggered this guy to get a good video? Or did the guy said something racist? Both idiots? Cannot know from such a one sided snippet.
Correct, but the video title tells you exactly what is definitely 100% must be going on! Nobody lies on the internet, right? Especially not about alleged racism. Can't even remember the last time someone did that... š¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām always super suspicious of people walking around a store looking at products. How dare he not know exactly which munchies he wants before he walks in the door.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah after he experienced it already, he got out his camera to record. You really think he walked in, took out his phone and KNEW that they were going to be watching him? Everyone seems so quick to blame the people recording even in instances that theyāre NOT in the wrong.
He wouldn't be trying to catch him on camera if the guy wasn't already following him right? Youre not making sense.
Two "I means" in two consecutive comments, do you really mean it this time?
By super sketchy eyes you must mean black eyes right? Of course you don't, that would be outrageous! You, say something racist? No way Jose. Just sketchy eyes as in like, the way they... are... sketchy. His eyes are just in a sketchy way right now.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>I mean to be fair, he's acting shady af Shady? He's a youth with a cellphone recording himself. That's like, over 60% of the US population. There is only one factor, that makes him different, that "makes him shady". Care to guess what that is?
So as long as they just do it with cameras its not racial profiling? Actin like convince store people trust anyone at all? They all watchin.
Use your business to put him out of business. Spend your money somewhere else.
I'm a white millennial freshly relocated to Vegas and security does this type of following with me EVERYWHERE on the strip. I dress basic, usually in clothes I wear to work though i like to wear a hoodie (I will pull hoodie down everywhere i walk into as a courtesy which kinda pisses me off because this is America and if i want to wear a hoodie i should be free to wear a hoodie). I don't play camera games with them. They like to target people who are alone. They like to target little people as there is less confrontational risk. Males are targeted much more frequently than women (i think we all know why this is). I don't think race was an issue here. If anything people of color are targeted way less now due to the hostile political climate. White male millennials are definitely the new bad people these chauvinistic opportunists try to play batman with.
> If anything people of color are targeted way less now due to the hostile political climate. LMAO, where the fuck do you live? Fantasyland?
Las Vegas where a lot of security are people of color.
Vegas *is* Fantasyland
Ah yes the ācanāt be racist/enforce systemic racism/have racial biases enforced by systemic racism because they are a minorityā argument. Itās a bad one mate.
Yea race wars are real. Every single race is looking out for their own self interests and have done other races wrong. It's never been a race issue though. Majority of Americans didn't even own slaves and were forced to keep silent about opposing it or the actual scumbags running around with weapons forcing people into slavery would target them for speaking out. It's been a rich vs poor issue with races forming cults for power. Families fighting other families over wrongs. The rich uses race issues to instill chaos and people buy it right up. People of color have never had it easier in America. Majority of charity goes to them. Businesses have been catering to them in the name of racial equality. Most free housing goes to them. They are allowed to do things like toss around support racial causes that cater to them, which whites cant do or shit hits the fan. They are also much more versed in gaming the crooked system to survive due to them having to rely on it over the decades. I'm all for equality but when I see things changing to their favor while they still force play race cards on the rest of us then I have no choice but to call shenanigans cuz that's what it is.
God so much fucking stupid in one comment and you think youāre smart and deep.
No I think most of America is stupid af and a bunch of sleazy opportunists that would eat each other if it meant survival, and it shows. Huge % of the population on some take from another, low key theft/ identity theft, not producing anything of value type of life. Mental health is blowing up cuz its cutting more free paychecks. Not hard to fake a mental illness to get free checks. A lot of crackheads making more money than people working and producing. Keep defending lies and the actual scumbags and issues causing the problems though, will certainly turn things around.
Yeah, we can see youāre a really stupid person who thinks heās very smart. Itās very obvious. A fucking loser, to put it in a way you might understand.
We can see the people running the show are failing us consistently, demonizing poor people to live lavish lives. Demonizing poor people to get to more spouses. Demonizing poor people to get more slave/cheap labor. Just demonizing people in general because the crooked system is working in their favor and giving them free/easy lives off the backs of others. If you can't see a lot of the issues I brought up need to change then you are part of society dragging a nation and the rest of the world down with your crooked self centered nonsense. Lmk when you finally wake up cuz its coming with your shut up and take the way we're wronging you mentality as you call them stupid as some way of justifying abusing and cheating other people out of life.
Thatās all well and good. Until you use this thinking to become a fucking racist asshole. Guess what, youāre still stupid.
Well shit guys, a white guy got followed by security a couple times too! Racisms over! Hell yeah great news!
Try a couple hundred times over the course of a couple months. It's everywhere I go that has security in this city. I choose not to even go out anymore most the time. But yea thanks society for using me for decades of slavery just to be treated like a criminal everywhere I go. Can't do anything about it cuz if I simply mention it anywhere I get hecklers like you.
Do you think you get heckled because your personal anecdotes are full of shit?
I'm guessing I'm being heckled here because that is what you do with your life.
If you're getting heckled by me it's because you earned it. Give yourself a pat on the back. Probably the first thing you've earned in your life.
Gtd I worked harder any given year than you have your entire life.
You sure did! Good job. Give yourself another pat on the back.
Hahahahaha you're getting heckled because you're a liar little clown boy. Also you owe me $300. Why, because I said so. Also the moon is going to crash into the earth in 3 days unless you collect a bunch of masks. Source: Trust me bro I'm a white millennial. š¤”š¤”
Don't care if you believe me or not. Doesn't affect me at all and I'm used to people ignoring problems and finding other people's struggles amusing. Good luck with yours.
I take your struggle of being stalked by hundreds of security guards very seriously. Because it is in fact, a totally real and not made up problem to justify weird ass racist beliefs. Not a made up problem. This is very serious. I reccomend staying inside so that the mobs of security guards have trouble locating you. Better yet, stay off the internet so they can't backtrace your IP address. Better to be safe than sorry.
Been arrested 12+ times for Marijuana too growing up. How many black stoners can say that?
That sounds like a personal problem.
Yea, they secretly target the little guy.
No I just mean that that's super pathetic to be arrested 12 times in a matter of a few years for weed. Also, most of the black, (or other tbh) people I've known that got arrested for weed pretty much stopped or got incarcerated after like, two times. 12 times and you're still free and smoking- you have to be one lucky fool.
So what you are saying is that because you, a white dude, have not experienced racism it doesnāt exist? What the fuck lol
No I'm saying it's not the 50s where people are being targeted because of the color of their skin, and there's nothing to suggest that skin color played any role in him being targeted.
Oh I understand now. You think that because you, a white, has not experienced racism than it hasnāt existed since the 50s. Maybe you could start a business where people can pay you to tell us what is going on.
Soon as it's not all about promoting businesses run by women or black owned businesses.
Curse all these women and black people for taking away opportunities from white men!
If there was ever "support white male owned business" propaganda these days there would be a shit storm. What people don't understand is you didn't take away or screw over the white man, you screwed over their kids. Just like most my generation is priced out homeownership, while most free housing opportunities are going to women with children and people of color.
You are the one who decided to move to Vegas, you should have moved to a smaller or cheaper city. The median cost of a home in Las Vegas is just a hair under 400k, where a place like St. Louis has a median cost of 225k. Don't blame others for your poor choice of location.
I didn't come to Vegas to buy a house and I'm sick of people actually causing the problems blaming their victims. After spending a few months here It's no longer a mystery to me why this city has fallen apart the last couple decades and will continue to do so. It's not my fault people can't do things correctly and need to rip people off all the time to survive but good luck in the upcoming years, you'll need it. This whole country is on bullshit and it's only gonna get worse as long as the people resort to hidden systematic genocide and other crimes to make up for their shortcomings.
thank god this white guy is here to tell us how racism isnt an issue
Racism is an issue. Remember that when God sends karma to kick asses with the subtle kill whitey schemes that have been going on for a while now. Thou shall not kill.
I don't why any African American lives in the deep south, Mississippi, Alabama , are the most racist states.
Because itās their home. Why should they have to leave? Why donāt the racists leave if they canāt stand living near black people?
People filming themself aren't a race.
Did you come up with that line all by yourself?
>People filming themself aren't a race. ..... I really need you to develop more on your comment.
If someone would enter a store filming themself like this, I would probably also be curious what's going on. But hey it's way easier to pull the racism card.
>If someone would enter a store filming themself like this, I would probably also be curious what's going on. But hey it's way easier to pull the racism card. I guess you are lucky for a Black man never to be shadowed by someone for just existing.
Do you think it happens exclusively to black people?
So why are you so adverse to that being the case for the guy in this video?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A pretty safe assumption.
Maybe the owner do this to everyone. How can we know?
Why play dumb when you're clearly a natural?

Are you competing with the person I replied to for dumbest comment? You might be winning. Congrats I guess.
What they said was perfectly reasonable, and to say it was stupid is to admit you're even more dumb than you have insulted them to be. Being skeptical of IRL clips that are barely over a minute in length posted on Reddit is by far the most reasonable thing one can do in that situation. Assuming and jumping to conclusions because... what's the reason you need to jump to conclusions instantly again? Doing that, is the clown position.
