    wow that is absolutely ridiculous....

    So it was look a black man is walking in quick lock the doors hes obviously here to rob us. I cant see how there is any justification to that...and I am by no means on the the black lives matter movement side of things.... (they do matter lol just dont like the movements leadership i mean)

    but this is just absurd.

    Educated and well-cultured people understand that black people are not a single entity and that punishing a single human being for the actions of others is wrong. It is fundamentally unfair and should be eradicated.

    You might view it as idealistic, but you know what was considered idealistic? The United States of America. Did you tell the founding fathers to put down their bongs? Are you un-American sir?

    ALL men are created equal, and ALL men should be treated equally. Why do you disagree with this notion, Honey Bear?

    Behavior like this may be allowed in your time but this is 2015. The day you stop judging people will be the day you actually wake up.

    I really doubt that Henson was dressed like "a gangta". He dresses like a normal person everywhere I see him in social media like a person in his twenties.
    Now if it was OJ Mayo I would understand if they had locked the store because he looks like a hobo.

    I'd like to rip the s*@# out of this post right now, but I am literally going to wait until I get off work, then go home, pick up the bong, and rip the s@# out of this weak pile of opinions.

    Customers also have the right to not shop at these places or publicly blast them on social media if they want to. We can profile business right, so what's your problem?

    He's not. He's trolling. He used to troll on silly topics like how much better he was than other people and how much of a playboy he was, but since that act has gotten old he's decided to troll on race, religion, and other sensitive topics.

    no matter how rich or successful you are, you're a still a "n word e r" in some peoples eyes. it's just the sad reality for a lot of black people.

    all you can do is just call them out and choose to take your business elsewhere.

    I have to say, we in Houston are rather lucky. We have the most racially integrated city in the country. For us it is a completely natural occurrence to have not just rich black people, but an entire culture fostered by educated black people where it's entirely permissible to aspire towards prosperity without being called out for betraying your race. This does not happen in many parts of the country. (Certainly not Dallas, cough cough).

    I'm not saying it's right. It just is. That's America. Like Chris Rock says, black people aren't advancing; white people are just getting less insane. It's not there yet, but thankfully Houston is at the forefront of that change. (And, fine, Atlanta you get some props too.)

    I think those are overstatements, Houston's wealth is just derived from a much more industrial field, so you can have senior executives who were ex-military or construction guys worked their way up from a refinery or hauling a truck, or were just farmers with mineral rights.

    I read that Honey Bear is a troll, but I'm going to knock down his crap anyway, and do it before I pick up the bong, because I've got better things to do after I pick it up.

    Honey Bear's first part is not about Henson/Schwanke and is irrelevant, so it can be disregarded.
    Next, Honey Bear presents "the facts."
    Honey Bear claims to know the owner of Schwanke.
    Honey Bear claims to know "the profile of jewel store criminals in Milwaukee."
    After the crux of his argument, Honey Bear diverts into more irrelevant claims that have no direct connection to Henson/Schwanke.

    But Honey Bear does reveal that he is writing to black people: ("work on helping people who ruin your image").

    And Honey Bear believes the black people he is writing to have small minds.
    So there you have it: Honey Bear knows the owner of Schwanke, and he is annoyed by bong-hitting, camper-van-living, constantly gaming, "small-minded" black people.

    You don't get it. It may seem personal to you, but it's not.

    People are doing what's best for a business. Businesses understand who's targeting them and have a right to refuse service to anyone.

    The fact you take it personally shows how little money you earn.

    Hate stating the obvious, but if we take the annual salaries of people acting salty in this thread, it's probably what I make in a month. Just a smart, calm opinion vs the whiny, entitled poors. And I'm self made.

    Profiling is acceptable to me. I profile women based on how tight Dat poon tang be. Their sexy. Women profile guys on the same or how much money they earn. We profile athletes based on their athletic ability. Opinions change when you get to know someone , but snap judgments are a part of who we are.

    Don't like it? Put your efforts into changing thug culture, what rap is about , and the gun and violence theme that is a sign of masculinity in black culture. That's the only way to truly open doors.

    funny how white people are not called on to check mass shooters and other criminals to protect the overall image of white people. or maybe because no matter how many white people commit crimes they're never a representation of their entire race.
