I'm sure he was wearing a sharp suit and didn't dress like Trayvon for them to have such a reaction. It's nothing out of the ordinary to have such a gut reaction when you consider that many rich blacks still dress and act like they're straight from the hood

Spot on comment. It depends on how he dressed and carried himself:

Allen Iverson was an iconic NBA player, but look at this:



His pants are sagging and his shirt is too big. This will make him uncomfortable, and mess with his movement. This will make him walk intimidatingly, because he has to swing his arms and legs wider to accommodate for his clothes.

Compare this to Dwayne Johnson or Amare Stoudemire:





See how they make an effort to wear fitting clothes that increase their charisma?

Make an educated guess. Which one of these dudes do you want near your jewelry store?

Depending on the audience ALL of those guys would be intimidating to certain cross section of the country

I'm willing to bet my 1st born, that the one thing they do all have in common is the sounds of doors locking upon their approach, skittish interactions and averted eye contact - and it had nothing to do with how dapper they were dressed.

If some guy who superficially looked like you robbed that store in the past, and you happened to visit that store, would you be cool with getting tailed, harassed, and possibly arrested or even beaten by the police, just to give the storeowners "the benefit of the doubt"? For me, that's the real issue here; American cops have a history of extreme overreaction(frequently regardless of race), and if the NBA player made the wrong move, it's possible that the situation could have ended a lot worse.

What if later a White guy robs that same store. Should they deny all White men too and only sell to Asians?

I'm sure you know that that this isn't a logical line of thinking. Even if that is their reason, that doesn't merit benefit of the doubt. All people of the race aren't carbon copies of one another. I'm black, the NBA is primary Black, but I can't shoot a free-throw to save my life. Every Frenchman doesn't have the military savvy of Napoleon.

If business operates on public property, funded and maintained by taxes paid by the general public, it behooves them to serve the entire public.

A tall (6,8+ rare, less that 2 percent of the world) black man in a late model luxury vehicle comes to a jewelry store, and attempts to enter. A worker (who is likely paid on commision) runs in the back and calls the police? Dumb worker.

Schemas are mental models built on subconscious and conscious that allow you to make decisions in your day to day life without wasting cognitive resources. If I worked at a luxury car dealership and a 6'8+ black man already in a luxury vehicle rolls in the parking lot I am making that sale-in my mental schema that is likely an Athlete. A Stripper would make the same split second determination if he came to the strip club. A promoter at a Miami nightclub would wave him to the VIP. How dumb are the workers at this jewelry store? Seriously, how fucking mad the owner must be at his idiot employees-not only did they cost him money, they embarrassed his brand. I am not PC, but as a common sense self interested worker in a commision based business-How does a 6'8+ black man in a late model luxury vehicle (in Milwaukee no less!) not scream PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, LIKELY SALE, JACKPOT!!!

I thought he showed up with a entourage in the mall where they could not see his car and he was like a 6'2 guard. The only indicator of wealth he did not have in view was jewelry, and wouldn't you know it, he was at a jewelry store. Dummies, not for "profiling racially" but "profiling incorrectly" and costing your employer a sale and yourself a commision. Note to providers of luxury goods,6'8+ young black men in late model luxury cars are your customers to target for the big sale, don't blow it.

Wasn't there a thread a couple months back about a male college student, who looked similar to another male (student?) who had previously raped a female student. Said male student was redistricted from being anywhere near the female student because he triggered her, and naturally that caused outrage on this forum. But a rich NBA player wants a watch from the wrong side of town and its "Perhaps they've been robbed by a tall Black guy before?".

I love the double standards that abound among some users on this site. Any act of discrimination against men, or white men, immediately(and rightly) receives a storm of criticism. Anytime an act of discrimination against a person of color is reported on the forum, however, a select subset of users immediately tries to argue about black-on-white crime, how "even well-dressed blacks" are thugs, and how "anyone has the right to discriminate". And then, in a different thread, they'll bitch about how affirmative action/modern culture makes life harder for white men, and claim that the presence of one black dude in the new Star Wars is an act of support for white genocide.

Yes, I suppose people have the "right" to call the cops on black people whenever they appear in public or visit stores. People also have the "right" to indoctrinate their kids in the ideology of the Westboro Baptist Church, or raise their male children like girls. Doing any of these things, however, undoubtedly makes you a shitty person. Lots of morally objectionable things are perfectly legal in this country, while normal activities like smoking marijuana frequently are not.

It's a judgment call. I'm pretty sure I read on CNN the store has had 3 armed robberies in the past 18 months. To be quite honest if I was in the stores situation I'd probably be extremely protective of who enters the store.

Just because hes 6'8 I wouldn't assume hes a pro basketball player. The majority of people 6'8 aren't professional athletes. Most athletes aren't rolling around with dealer plates either. It's a tough situation. Mr. Henson was obviously profiled but if the store lets anyone and everyone in the risks are much higher for the staff. It's kind of a catch-22 where the jewelry store loses either way. If they let everyone in then theres more robbery exposure or potential for violent incidents. If they don't let everyone in then they are discriminating and / or profiling. An easier answer would have been to ask Mr. Henson who he is. Tell him one moment, look him up and then let him in. Or ask for ID while explaining to him why it's necessary. A guy who is going to rob you probably isn't going to want his ID entered on a computer.

I think the situation was dealt with in a poor way and far from the best way possible. Hopefully the jewellery store enacts better mechanisms for dealing with this type of situation in the future.

"Oh no! Black people! Run!"

Sometimes I'm startled by how remarkable racist my country can be. Blame it on "thugs" or whatever but we are not all fucking thugs. Why is it that blacks all get judged by the actions of a subset in our community?

Why is it that a young dude who has done nothing has to watch his back like that just because he was afforded a large frame and dark skin. I'm getting tired of this "you're black so you need to be careful" narrative that this forum pushes sometimes. It's nonsense.

Samseau, I've noticed that a lot of your views are straight out of Stormfront. I will be upfront and say that I browsed that site out of curiosity back in high school. A lot of your posts seem to be slightly watered-down versions of Stormfront credos.

This confuses me because as you've stated numerous times, you have partial Korean heritage. You do realize that this would disqualify you to most white nationalists, don't you? To them, any admission of non-white (whatever the fuck that means, I'm curious about how they see Armenians, Syrians, etc) heritage is enough to get you rejected from their circles and viewed as their enemy. So I am curious as to whether or not you run with these circles, and whether or not you actually consider yourself a white nationalist. And I've noticed that when this question is posed to you, you never directly answer it.

And we shouldn't be afraid to call these views out for what they are. They are racist, plain and simple. This isn't the same as protesting mass illegal immigration into European countries, nor is this the same as opposing the demonization of white men by certain liberal outlets. This is adhering to a moral double standard when it comes to different races, and choosing to pounce on black people whenever they are the victims of some form of discrimination. [/i]People like heavy, Fast Eddie, and Samseau are often the first to speak up about anti-white discrimination when a fraternity gets banned or some landwhale publishes an article about "white privilege", but when a black man gets subject to real and potentially dangerous discrimination, they immediately try to explain it away and pin the blame on the entire black race.

And yeah, everyone has their racial biases...but that doesn't mean it's morally alright to blatantly insult or profile other races. The vast majority of the school shooters in the U.S were white. However, I wouldn't snitch on some weird/quiet white kid because he "fits the profile" of a school shooter...because that would make a human piece of garbage.

Perhaps the easiest answer to all of this is to enact a mechanism such as an outside ID scanner which takes note of who you are. An employee can view it on the screen and determine if supplemental ID is required. If it's an everyone does it policy you could perhaps prevent against issues like the one that just occurred.

People who are NBA fans need to keep in mind that about 95% of the population has no idea who John Henson is. I couldn't name a single Toronto Raptor other that DeRozan and I'm from the GTA. I wouldn't recognize a single Toronto Raptor. We could be dining side by side and I would have absolutely no idea. There were plenty of very tall guys who went to my high school and universities (6'6+) and to the best of my knowledge none of them ever played in the NBA or were drafted.

There needs to be a system put in place which is used universally regardless of how obvious it is you aren't a threat in order to ensure complete fairness and equality. It won't happen overnight but I wouldn't be surprised to see a system put in place to make progress towards equal treatment in the coming years.

When you own a business screening is necessary however, there needs to be a more humane way to go about it in circumstances like these.

My mom had her engagement ring updated at this shop after my dad went to multiple jewelers and thought this place was the most honest. Separately the owner changed the strap on my Rolex even though I had bought it somewhere else and I know a couple "thug" friends he's given great deals on watches to.

Great shop. Only in America can a guy get paid 44 million to shoot buckets and cry racism about a place that has been robbed by urban youth three times in the last 18 months.

Further, the reported reason for the problem is the workers had been told to be on the lookout for a vehicle exactly matching the description of what this guy was driving around with dealer plates.

Post: #42

You're talking out the wrong end.

This shop and specifically the owner has given great deals on Rolex's to exactly the type of people you're describing. I'm friends with a lot of shady characters in Milwaukee who just happen to be the people most fun to party with.

The owner is a stand-up guy and it's disgusting to see this happen to him.

This isn't a rumor. I grew up in the Madison area and every school year there would always be a ton of new "thugs" in the class room from Chicago. Section 8 housing was being built everywhere and I've seen my hometown go from a nice little white town to a city with gang activity and graffiti. I was visiting my parents recently and some hoodlums broke into my car and stole all the change. It's definitely not the same placed I grew up in and there is a lot of resentment from white families who have been there for generations. They blame black "FIBS" from Chicago for ruining the area.

Agastya, I'm assuming you are black? If not, you're quite the hero.

Regardless, you need to stop taking such an emotional stance. Race threads are touchy and often a no-go, and I usually tread lightly in them. However, you are making some bold claims.

Black people have it tough in the U.S today. Plain and simple. An old buddy of mine in Oklahoma who was a black bodybuilder said he didn't like wearing hoodies at night because people would cross the sidewalk to avoid him. I currently work with a black lesbian who consistently gets hassled by cops for long boarding home after dark.

I was in Whitefish Bay last year and the racial divide surprised me. It's literally a turn by turn of white and black segregation. We tried to hit up a TGI Fridays after our hockey games and got turned away because there were "no open tables". Bunch of white hockey guys and an all black staff. The restaurant was empty. Who's racist now? But I'm "human garbage" for acknowledging this. We drove a few blocks and the white waitress at B-Dubs accepted us immediately.

While I'm happily living in a town that accepts everyone while not being gay about it, the Milwaukee area has some serious problems. Even in high school we had racist issues trying to see a band at The Rave. But according to Agastya, I've never experienced black on white racism and this post is a censored version of the hardcore white supremacist shit we all post on Stormfront in our spare time.
