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

Wait, are the females wearing Confederate Flags as shirts and do they weigh 300 lbs? And what's a shady African American??

Honestly in either circumstance I wouldn't give a ****.

 

Not a simple question.

 

Real quick though... If you're an MD in training... Do you look at a patient and think they're not worth treating because they look shady?? If so... Maybe you should quit medicine.

 

Yea how does a shady black or white or hispanic person look

And once again Henson doesn't look anything like a shady gangster. He is one of the most well spoken normally dressed players in the team and too friendly if anything. Too much smiles and hugs and jokes to the point that the fans want him to "toughen up" and be more serious.

milwaukee is 40% black population. But it's one of the most segregated cities in the us.

Also Milwaukee from what I have gathered has a very high rate of murders and crime.

also that area that the store was in is often called whitefolk bay because it's all white old rich people living there.

 

but 6'11 tho?

 

@ a white man being the one who burglarized them

 

sooo..the suspect was white. Also even after Henson identified himself as a professional NBA player the store employee asked the policeman to stand by?? WOW

 

Who knows lol. But when I was following the arena news in the local milwaukee media I noticed that there were all the time reports and frightening articles about "YET ANOTHER MURDER TODAY". I think there is a very scary situation over there with crime esp in the black part of the city. And the other people in the forum say that they don't go to the black part of the city.
I'm not from there so I dont' know first hand.

 

More details on Deadspin. Employees recognized the car (red Yukon with dealer plates) he was in as one that had previously been used in one if the 3 armed robberies the store has had in the last 18 months. They had also apparently received several odd phone calls, so the employees were on alert.

 

Kind of a silly question....yeah I'm on guard more with men than with women lol. If I'm walking by myself at night then I am always on guard for anyone. People freak out about black people too much. Just because someone is black doesn't mean they have magical powers or something. People are people. If someone seems a bit off then I would avoid them as much as possible. If someone seems normal or whatever then I might keep walking or smile and nod or say hi.

 

Reading a couple of these ignorant comments makes me realize that racism will never end. As long as there are people like, well I won't say any names cause y'all know who they are, it will always be this way.

 

Some of you are gross.

It's interesting to me how you can root for sports teams heavily comprised of black men, then turn around and justify -- borderline LAUD, really -- those same black men being discriminated against, profiled, and marginalized in "real life." As long as they're running up and down a court or field for your recreational entertainment, it's all good. But the moment the clock expires, they're just fodder for your ignorant, small-minded, privileged views -- the same as the rest of us "regular" black folks, I guess.

Again, gross.

 

Spoiler

 

reminds me of the scene "do the right thing" where pino was a racist who hated black people but his favorite athlete was magic johnson and his favorite movie star was eddie murphy

 

So... is he any good?

 

Twists question. You are comparing a female and a male, most females are nt physically intimidating to most men. Plus you mentioned shady black people, then just two random white people.

I would worry about both if it were 2 shady black men or two shady white men. If they are acting shady, there is race is irrelevant to me.

 

No they do not. They have the right to refuse service based on your actions. What you are basically saying is black people are inherently violent and you shouldn't risk letting one of them into the store because ya know, they are black.
