I am pretty sure this issue would have the same importance if you were a white, asian, latino or arabian male. Nice try with the race card though.

you really think whites or asians get the same attentions as blacks when an alarm goes off at a business?
do you really believe that "racial profiling" doesn't exist?
are you serious?

LMFAO, I can't believe this is even a thread. Just a thought though, what are you wearing when you walk into the store? Jeans maybe? Reason I ask is that some jeans now have a magnetic strip that is built into the waist band. My wife is in retail and she informed me that this is being implemented on some clothing lines and it has a habit of kicking off alarms in other stores. Didn't believe her but apperently an Oakley jacket I have does have this strip built in.....Needless to say it has gone off in like one store before. Just some food for thought.....but that was funny though.

I think you should get a friend to make a YouTube video of this...It would be viral in a day..

My friend had keys that set off alarms. Always fun when they had to call the manager over. He is white.

a simple solution to this problem might be to just run your phone over the store's RFID de-magnetizer at the register.

Ha really! My man I just found out today that the old white people that stand at the walmart front entrance were their to say hi to people
not everyone gets treated the same in this life and its not pulling a card its just the way life is. I live in West Virginia!! Although we have a black president that doesn't keep these guys driving around here with trucks that have stickers on them saying "My president is a Nigger!" so if it is a card its a card I was I did not have!

Beautiful. I have a few black friends and we make racial jokes at each other all the time. I think it's great that we can take something that used to be so touchy and make it amuzing.

He was riding in my passenger seat one time and made a big deal (in an overblown comical way) about me running a yellow/red light...that there would be SWAT coming out of the sewers and black helicopters in the sky.

He also told me to watch out for black ice because it'll sneak right up on me and it's not just in the city either, it'll get me in the suburbs just as well.
