The Rev. Al Sharpton threatened Saturday to boycott luxury retailer Barneys if the department store doesn't respond adequately to allegations by black shoppers that they were racially profiled there.

If those 2 shopper were white would they cry racial profiling? No. But its ok for africans to do so whenever they want. And its accepted by political correct pussies like you.

[baddog]

So, if they don't want blacks to shop there, doesn't a boycott help?

My point was that africans usually call racism or profiling even when there was none. White people do not do that.
For example people can be profiled because they look dodgy or suspicious. Not because of color. But if its black they can freely call color anyways.

That makes sense. I mean you don't have time for that when you are busy looking for a Kenyan birth certificate.

Nobody likes the truth. All races seem to be doing it in the US these days. Says more about the general state of US. Poor and pathetic. Sharpton makes his money from race baiting. There are many like him now. Every race has them. Except maybe Japanese and Chinese seemed to have mastered the "outwork you into your own poverty" scheme. They just win for the rest losing cause the rest are worrying about this race shit.

Don't like the way a store treats you, here's a shocker---don't go into it. When I dressed downscale and used to go out high, I used to be followed all the time. I wonder if the people in the article were high?

you sound stupid! who the fuck you think owns the place???

[Rochard]

They seem to be making this into a racial thing. The sales person didn't think the person was legit, and called the cops. Happens every day to both whites and blacks. The only difference this time is he is a celeb.

FYI: every shopper is profiled

[TheSquealer]

Well, Al Sharpton has at least 6 supporters,... so this is gonna sting a bit.

Thats kinda funny. Actually its true. Major retailers like this have every inch of the floor under surveillance and watch everyone like a casino, not to mention all the plain clothes loss prevention people pretending to be shoppers walking around. They aren't exactly in the habit of following around people who aren't doing shit, don't look suspicious and who are just innocent shoppers. Additionally, they don't just randomly accuse people of theft without significant proof to back it up... as it leads to an instant Defamation of Character legal claim.

To believe that their loss prevention teams just randomly targeted innocent people and accused them of theft for absolutely no reason whatsoever (risking immediate legal claims) other than skin color is pretty ignorant.

[anexsia]

Al Sharpton is a SCUMBAG who only cares about money and being in front of a camera.

It doesn't seem like you read this particular story.
You are making a "general argument" that has nothing to do with this case.

These people were detained for buying something with a credit card; not shoplifting.

How was it determined that their credit card purchases were suspect and they needed to be detain by the police?

Tell us how that works and that will solved the issue.
Tell us how to use a credit card correctly so no one will have a reason to complain.

I don't care if you tease me. Most important thing was that you were unable to hold an argument thus had to go off topic trying to save your dumb face, however you failed.

Thats what I was talking about. And I bet you did not cry racist profiling when you were followed like that. But africans do. Thats what pisses normal people off. And couple morons in this thread can not even comprehend that.

Moron. Both white and black people gets profiled there. Captain Kawalli just said that he was profiled everywhere when he looked dodgy. But he did not claim it was racist. Africans do. Get it, you idiot?

And you miss something else that is even more important.
How do you know that they were detained because of skin color and not because they looked shady?

You're not even from the US, why do you care? Maybe you should concern yourself with the shit in your own backyard, like proper dental care.

Because I do not like when people are looking for excuses for their failures. This is universal world problem, not specific to US.

You've made any point i would make for me demonstrating yourself that you are 100% ignorant of the facts. Since you don't know the facts, you have no right to have an opinion on the actions of the police or Barneys.

Saved me some time.
Much appreciated,

[L-Pink]

Fucking Sharpton making a huge stink over a $350 purchase that has yet to be investigated. The cock sucker smells money, money to shut up and go away.

What a community leader.

On the other hand you have Jay-Z who is in the middle of a promotional collaboration with Barney's stating … "I move and speak based on facts and not emotion," the statement said. "I haven't made any comments because I am waiting on facts "

How do you know they weren't?

If they looked so shady then why did the dumb fucks run the credit card to begin with?

Just tell us the REAL reason they were stopped and quit dancing around the question.

Sharpton is a "community leader" that was hand picked by the media.
He never won any election to this position.
The purpose of making Sharpton a "leader" is because he is bound to piss you off.
That's what the media wants, a reaction out of you. They get it every time just by talking to Sharpton.

You ever wonder why, even though we have a black president, Shaprton is still the "leader of the black people"?

You keep bringing up Africans . . . where is that coming from? I've read nothing about any Africans.

Upon hearing story about Barneys, Neiman Marcus CEO Karen Katz asked Rev. Sharpton to include all NM retail stores to be boycotted by blacks.

Sharpton is just racist toward the purple dinosuar. Wtf?

[escorpio]

Unless "boycott" is the latest negro slang for "loot" I don't think Sharpton's threat will be very effective.

I have long hair and get profiled all the time at stores cause they think i don't have money. Then they look surprised when i buy expensive shit. Do i complain? No. I probably would profile me, too. Its just how biz works sometimes. No big deal. But then, I've got thick skin

[kane]

Al Sharpton is scumbag who makes his money by convincing people to be victims.

That said, racial profiling still exists all over this country. A very good friend of mine is black. She is married to a white guy. About 6 months ago they moved to a small town (about 5,000 people). She got pulled over multiple times by the police the first month they lived there. It was always for stupid shit and she was never ticketed. She was pulled over because she was black.

Eventually her husband called and talked to the police chief. He asked if it would make their lives easier if they just brought down some pictures of her and had her take a lie detector test so all the police in town could relax and realize the new black wasn't a bad person and leave her alone. Of course the chief denied that anything was going on, but magically she has never been stopped since.

So does this mean that all black people are criminals? I would argue that much of it is a racial bias. According to the WSJ black men are typically given prison sentences that are 20% longer than white men.

According the the ABC news black men make up 35.4% of the prison population with white men making up 32.9% and Hispanics making up 17.9% so it looks like your 65% number might be a little off.

Here is some interesting information based on a few different states. In one of the studies they found that one out of every 33 black men charged with a crime ends up in prison while one out of every 205 white people charged end up in prison. A more interesting state is lower down on the page where they show the percentage of the population that is three strikes offenders. 44.7% of black inmates are there on their third strike while only 25.4% of white inmates are. It seems like what we have is a smaller group of black criminals that continue to re-offend over and over again while white people are more likely to get out and stay out.

Ultimately, I know you don't care about any of this. You have made up your mind, but to me it seems like the system might be slanted more heavily against black people. I'm not saying they don't commit crimes, but it seems like if you are black and commit a crime the odds are you are going to jail where if you are white the odds are in your favor that you won't.
