When a black teen went into a high end department store called Barneys New York and purchased a belt with his own debit card, a racist employee immediately alerted undercover NYPD cops which responded within second for this high-end store arrested the teen under suspicion he was using a stolen debit card.
The teen was taken to a mid-town Manhattan precinct where the NYPD was able to verify that the debit card was not stolen like the Barneys employee suspected and released him. The average New Yorker would have to wait up to a hour for a cop to respond to a crime while this upscale department store was able to have a person arrested within seconds of them walking out the door..
It is clear that Barneys as well as the NYPD see all young black men as criminals and could not comprehend how a young black teen could afford a $350.00 belt with all the racial profiling and oppression they are forced to endure here in America.
No black, Latino or liberty loving white person should ever spend a red cent in a Barneys store ever again !
"A young black man is suing both the NYPD and Barneys for wondering how in the world he could afford a $300 product, then harassing and arresting him. Trayon Christian, who was 18 at the time, bought a Ferragamo belt he'd been coveting from the department store after receiving a paycheck from his work-study job. "I wanted to go to Fifth Avenue, I knew exactly what I wanted," he told the Daily News. But on his way out, he was handcuffed. Two undercover detectives accused Christian of using a forged debit card after being alerted to the purchase by the store. Even after Christian showed identification, he was taken to the station and held for two hours before being released with an apology...".* Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! and TYT Sports), and John Iadarola (TYT University and Common Room) break it down on The Young Turks.
