Im in the joint getting some facial scrub (hygene thread got me feeling godly :banderas:) when I hear a woman speaking in a walkie calling me a suspect..im sitting in the aisle with the :jbhmm: face thinking she isn't talking about me. I turn around and its a dime redbone in the opposite aise crouching like she's on some metal gear shyt. Then of course I noticed two supervisors follow me all the way to the register. I was so disappointed..i had a nice tie with the peanut butter gators on too.. I aint gone lie , it kinda hurt:snoop:.


I spent 10 mins in there just to get profiled by my own kind. I coulda ended up a hastag from some rogue thug security officer :mjpls:.


I just had to vent :gurl:

A couple weeks ago I'm out walking my dog at night (10ish) and I see this old white guy walking his dog on the other side of the street. But, he's just standing there staring and talking into his phone. When I get a bit closer I can hear him "calling me in" to the police. Motherfukker, you're out here doing the same damn thing as me and my dog is about 1/3 the size of yours! :snoop:

I didn't appreciate how racist this area is until I got a dog and started walking her after dark. The fukkery I deal with sometimes.

Are you sure it was you? If you weren't stopped, then it wasn't you.
1. They aren't going to talk in your proximity. That would cause a suspect to run. You were too close. It was someone else.
2. I've watched Target track a possible shoplifter (as a cop with the Target loss prevention people). A person on the floor would tell the camera operator to zero in on a shoplifter. If you were looking at facial scrub, then it definitely wasn't you. They were tracking someone trying to pick up a more high dollar item or already had picked it up.
3. Metal Gear crouching? Do you look like a bad azz mofo?

Now, this is some bullshyt. One time I walked into a Target and this old manager in a wheelchair mumbles something about me just as I walk past. I wasn't paying attention but she must've wheeled her ass about 2 strides behind me the whole way, then she tried to be slick and circle around another aisle and "surprise" me while I was shoplifting I guess.

Good point.

I'm sure they felt stupid once they relooked at the video. What happend though OP, cause I worked in a store for awhile, was you may have looked like someone who was causing problems in there before. They probably told that person not to come back. You "looking" like the suspect and being profiled by non-black eyes made you a target. It's fuucked up, but I guarantee you that's what happened. You did everything right though.

I'm not saying you should have approached them, but if you do just be nice about it. Mistaken identity does happen. Sorry breh. :mjcry:

Be a black male in America brehs. :martin:
