The proper term for this is called shopping while black and apparently it's a crime. The video is 7:49 long and well worth the watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAkDHuimJRc THIS is the kind of thing I don't support and I would sue the store on this for discrimination. I would NOT accept an out of court settlement. This kind of thing is wrong, pure and simple. This kind of thing needs to stop. Unfortunately, race baiters will not stop this sort of thing. They want to keep this sort of thing going so they can profit from it in some nebulous way.
It's also class that really matters other than race. A poor-looking white person is likely to be scrutinised by store detectives like minorities, while a rich black woman, who can project an aura of wealth, would be treated with great respect at any high-end boutiques. Many store detectives or security personnel are Africans themselves in London and racism may not be a major factor at least in the UK.
While I don't condone racism I also can't condone using actors to portray what some media wish to characterize as reality.
That's pretty much it right there. A lot of it has to do with how you present yourself. If you're dressed like a thug then people are going to perceive you as one. The better dressed you are the more people are going to treat you respectfully. Behaviour and speech also has a lot to do with it. I'm going to watch the person who is swearing every other word and can't annunciate over someone who is soft spoken and not being obnoxious.
The video was based on reality on what some people have to go through due to the color of their skin.
The video was not a fabrication. They anted to see the reactions of the people. And this kind of thing does happen in America. - - - Updated - - - Because this sort of thing still happens today. So it is still relevant.
well of course it does, just dont see why you posted a 5 year old video we've all seen before. yes its horrible but this happens all the time. isaw something more recent in Ireland that reminded me of those days where racism was so much more blatant. graffiti on a mans house saying no blacks allowed In america because of the opposition to racism, racists have become much more discreet but as ijust showed, the conditioning is still there for many.
Well, for thing i didn't know it was five years old. It was completely new to me. I also have a hard time seeing those tiny dates because I'm dyslexic.
All the major players and the racist attitude were created by actors. I call that fabrication. People have illicit affairs, that doesn't make soap operas real. They are fabricated also. Easier to discuss and debate real racism as opposed to a dramatization no different than a tv show.
Funny, whenever I prove something, the poster always flees. Even if I prove the obvious - what everyone knows - what would it change from your perspective? You'll flee once I show that Blacks have higher theft/shoplifting rates, as I can show they have higher murder and rape rates.
What would you sue the store for? It's all actors, on a national television show. Good luck on that law suit. - - - Updated - - - ooh... "based on". So it wasn't reality then? Hopefully you can "accept that truth".
I have never seen you prove anything. Sure if you prove it. I don't need to flee because there are more white shoplifters than there are black.
I guess you can't read because I said Blacks have higher shoplifting rates than Whites. http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?p=1064031665#post1064031665 Do you understand what 'rate' means?
I do, that's why I called you out on your straw-man. I said Blacks had higher rates of shoplifting/theft than Whites; I didn't say there are more Black thieves/shoplifters than Whites.
Here you go. Just keep in mind Hispanics are counted as White. Note that an absolute majority of robberies are carried out by Blacks. Let me know if you need help understanding the data, as you usually do: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-43 Enjoy!
