But there is not a damn thing I can do about it. Sad Here is what happened.
I went to Harris Teeter today looking for a cut of meat for dinner. i was the only one in the meat section when a black dude showed up. I noticed him because I was looking to see what was on sale and then go back and get it, but he was in the way, seemingly making a selection for himself. Once he moved down a bit, I went back and made my selection was headed for the self checkout.
After I finished I made my way for the front door when all the sudden two black males, (one of which was the guy in the meat department), ran past me and out the door. They got into a tussle and meat flew every where out of one of the man's pants. The black shopper in the meat department was a plain clothed security guard and he was waiting for me to steal some damn meat. But instead when I left, he ended up catching another black male and chased him out the door.
I'm really sick over this for several reasons. First off, I was profiled. Secondly I was profiled by black person who felt like all black males need to be watched. Sad Next, I can't even complain to the store because in actuality someone who looks like me was stealing. Angry I'm so disgusted with both of those black males. I'm really mad at other black people who put me in a no win situation. Someone might suggest that I should change stores but where will I go? That sort of profiling happens in every store. A black male walks through the door, the guy behind the camera is going to watch us until we leave. I've had run ins with Harris Teeter and Food Lion before and brought it to their attention. In Food Lion I turned the crowded store out when the manager accused me of stealing. In Harris Teeter, I had to burst a little white manager down when she came running up to me asking, 'can I help you, are you looking for something'. I was like, 'look Missy, I've been shopping for decades and this is the first time someone has ever asked me can I help you in a freaking supermarket! You better stop watching me and get the hell away!"
We are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
Saw it on another forum.
There's something here.
I grew up in like the most repressive, abusive household ever. I was always on punishment for something stupid(and being bad as ****) and was basically expected to get all A's all of the time, and since I never did and I pretty much wasn't able to do anything when I was teenager.
