[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone ISN'T the same though. If everyone were the same, [b]then I, a white woman, would ALSO get followed around in a fancy clothing store instead of only the black women.[/b] If everything were the same I would ALSO get pulled over for driving yet doing nothing wrong.

If we don't see color, we can't see racism. If we can't see racism, how will we change it? [/quote]

White teens, especially rich white teens, also get followed around in a fancy clothing store, fwiw.

Do you see age?  Or class?  Or only race?[/quote]

Fine, is there any reason for them to follow around a middle aged lady then of any race?[/quote]

they follow a lot of people [/quote]

I dated someone who worked loss prevention at a common mall anchor store. They are literally trained to follow the top 4 groups of people who cause the most theft: minorities in general, groups of teens - especially minorities, people wearing bulky clothing - especially minorities, and women with large bags - especially minorities. There's a common theme there. All LPs with that store had to sign NDAs not to talk about anything they learned there for 3 years after leaving or being fired or while employed, but clearly, they didn't care about that rule, ha.

I grew up in New Hampshire in the 1980s. There were literally 5 non-white students in my high school of 1500. I guarantee you there was shoplifting (and other crime) committed in our mall. Wonder how they trained the staff? Or did they just lose a ton of mechandise, because they were trained to look for minorities and since there were none, they never saw anything? [/quote]
