        Do you think this has gotten worse since 45 became President? Or does social media shine a light?

        Oh for sure. It’s been like this for a long long time. And I think the people who are victim to blatant racism can finally share their stories first hand as it happens

        These types of interactions have been going on since we were forced here. The black experience is nothing new. It’s only news to some, because we can share our experiences with the world through various social media platforms.

        Yes. This exactly. It’s only now we have the power to share our stories through our voices and platforms. Could you imagine if people had cellphone recordings back in the 50’s?

        1. I had a friend in high school who was a champion shoplifter. We walked into Zellers one day on lunch. She asks, "Do you want anything?" I said no girl! You'll get in trouble. She said, "Don't worry, they'll be watching you, not me." She's white btw....

        I had to end my daughter’s association with 3 of her white friends because they were pocketing things from stores, and I knew that soon my daughter would have taken the hit.. crisis averted.

        Check out the Yelp reviews of this store. There was a post 5 months ago that claimed the manager did a similar thing -https://www.yelp.com/biz/fuego-tacoma?hrid=Ld8YXWffROwz0_ugcFTxmg&utm_source=ishare&utm_content=review …

        It is really strange to see these attempts to resegregate America to what it was like when I was a small child. Thank God for cell phone cameras.
