It's about discrimination. These stores see a non white come in and instantly expect trouble. Mentality got to change or we need to stop shopping there.

If my reference to people of *Color* offends anyone that was not/ and is not my intent.

I recognize that though Black-Americans bore the brunt of the front-line fight for Civil Rights, I will not..I shall not ever forget that we did not stand alone. People of other ethnic groups and races fought, bled and died right along with *Us.*

Lastly, I consider myself to be Black and also a person of Color. I *own* my heritage with all the Pride that I can muster. And I'm good with that.

These were black people. Let People of Color worry about themselves. That is what is wrong now, Black people fought for civil rights and continue to fight for them and all others get to reap the benefits. Why let them do that? They never align themselves with us or stand with us. And As far as AL Sharpton being involved doesn't matter to me because the issue is too serious to let this go. You had better stop them from taking basic rights away from you as a people.

Also Black People Stop padding the pockets of those who hate you. And also go get some business of your own. You don't have the luxury of being only consumers. Own yourself and provide something useful to other black people. smh

Everytime we take one step forward we go two steps back. smh

However, just the mere mention of Sharpton and/or Jesse Jackson getting involved in ANY way, shape or form kills it for me.
