After living in South Carolina for less than a year and being stopped for walking while black late at night, then again a few months later for defrosting my car I wouldn’t take any chances either.

Don’t know who this person is and there’s a 100% chance I don’t care to find out but I have a special level of peeved attitude toward women who call other women a whore or slut because they kissed, hung out, slept with, etc. their ex or present significant other unless you’re also calling him the same thing. That’s…
Rest in peace, Queen. She is gone but will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, there was not much peace to be found for Erica Garner in this world. She turned a horrible situation into a chance to help others and speak out about problems Black people in this country have been facing since the first slave ships arrived…
They will mourn her in public but breathe sighs of relief in private. She screamed for justice, like her father screamed for his life and it’s all rolled up in a nice condolence - a great remeberance.
I read about this lady the other day, who trolled back a scammer in a genius way. She got the phone message that she won a laptop plus money and to reply with her address, phone, age, work etc.
My Grandfather was Eze (king) of my family’s village and my father is his first born son. When my grandfather died, he passed on taking over because he was a professional here in America. In Igbo culture, the “natural ruler” of each village is called Eze. The title and position evolved from a combination of…
The Troy mall where this happened is on Big Beaver Road and is dead center middle of the richest/whitest/most racist part of Michigan. I’m surprised they didn’t profile her in the parking lot.
Then when my supervisor called me in to talk about it. She was like didn’t you suspect? And I said I figured her rich baby daddy gave her money. Also who gives a fuck? Although I did call my white co worker once, when a white man walked in and wanted to buy a 100,000 dollar refrigerator in cash. I told her these…
I know that’s right.
Cashiers at these places never make enough money to actually shop at them, so when they see someone like the woman here shopping there, they can’t stand it for some reason *wink wink nudge nudge*
I’m mad she kept the goods; why give the store your money and the bitchass cashier any sales commission? I’d be way too heated to not fling it back in their faces, especially when I know I can buy LV stuff at many other places. Also because by the time I and my lawyer are done with them, they’d be paying for it…
I drive a Tesla, and I have experienced so many racists moments with strangers. I have been asked the following:
I mean, I’m a white guy, and I’ve never tried to make that big of a purchase in a store, so I don’t know how it would go. But...I suspect I would not be given the same level of scrutiny that this woman was given. And I’d have to agree that it’s probably because of race.
That’s interesting that the cashier calls the cops to say the card is declined AFTER SHE GIVES THE RECEIPT to Ms. Hale.
If these same cops had seen an 11 year old white girl leaving the house, they would have thrown their bodies in front of her to protect her. But they see an 11 year old black girl and they arrest her? There is no amount of training that will ever change that behavior. That poor child.
Is it my imagination or are trolls getting dumber by the day?
“And what if they are people of color?”
Ahhh yes the old “We find this behavior unacceptable and not in character for our (department, school, company) but we’re not going to hold anyone responsible” white person response.
How has there not been a documentary or a Hollywood biopic about her yet???
Inappropriate and illegal are two very different things. She was arrested. So something else must’ve happened here beyond what’s being reported. The ‘relationship’ itself appears to violate no laws.
