[Another day in America] John Henson racially profiled at jewelry store

Hmm.. , the guy who founded fubu did so based on hood wear. And charged very high prices for it. Kanye has done the same.

You're extremely sheltered if you think every millionaire athlete is going to dress preppy like lebron, westbrook and wade.

Dismissed.

 

Not following the law is really bad for business.

Irrelevant to Henson/Schwanke. Off-topic BS.

Honey Bear doesn't seem to know what profiling is. He makes "snap judgments" about "Dat poon tang" before he even knows the woman attached to it. How does that work? And he "profiles guys on the same."

Honey Bear thinks "we" profile guys based on their salary and athletic ability. He forgot the whole Henson thing (millionaire, pro athlete).

It's pathetic when someone uses trolling on top of internet anonymity to release their racism/farts/whatever into the world.

 

In the United States it's against the law to lock your door to black customers.

 

The hell did I just read?

 

Welcome to Honey Bear's America:

He's a pretty clean cut looking guy too.

Too bad to hear that happened to him...at least they will have some pretty major blow back from what they did.

I wasn't locked out of a store like that but I was given the Pretty Woman treatment one time at Armani in Vegas lol. I'm a decent looking white guy and I was looking for a nice gift for my girl and the dumb ass salesman tried to direct to me to the clearance rack or whatever the hell it was lol. Either way I spent a decent amount there (not at the clearance rack) and they took like 20 min to run my card. It was dumb. I should have told them to **** off but I didn't.

Granted I was just wearing a crappy white t-shirt and shorts, but whatever.

Sucks to know he will achieve 1000 times more than what these low level salespeople will financially yet they can still treat people like that. I hate those stuck up racist jerks.

 

Dude, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 disagrees with you.

 

Everyone please know that this awful poster is nothing but a troll. Please disregard their pitiful takes. I honestly feel sorry for this poster because they have nothing better to do with their lives than spew drivel.

On topic, this kind of stuff sucks to hear. It's not cool for businesses to do this but in this country they have a right to refuse service to anyone. Just like Henson has a right to put them on blast.

 

Yelp reviews of this place since this instagram post have been crazy

 

their twitter is private lol. i'm not sure it was before today haha

 

Please don't tell me he was buying the jewelry for himself.

 

He went to buy a watch.

 

If you walk down the street and two shady looking African American males are walking towards you, would you be more on guard than if two white females are walking towards you?

Simple question.

 

Not surprising at all. Let them remain brainwashed and stupid. Spend your cash elsewhere.

 

Simple answer is: I'm always on guard.

 

no because i'm not scary b****.

 

Good money lost.

 

God damn right, I hope he does take his business elsewhere! I mean it's bull**** to be profiled off of dress, there wasn't some posted dress code or something and he's not an employee, so he should be able to show up with whatever he wants to wear. I mean it's his right as it is anyone to wear what you want, we live in America, but unfortunately some of us here are still in the dark ages (and for this company it was less likely what he was wearing and more likely they're just prejudice). I mean... last I checked the government didn't give us a ****ing dress code we needed to conform to...

So forget that store/business and hopefully others regardless of ethnicity will do the same.

 

a 6'11 black man in milwaukee would be like the worst criminal. it wouldn't be hard to find him lmao.
