    3 Black teenage boys were shopping @Nordstrom for prom clothes. Police surrounded them when they left the store. They had been accused of theft. They, of course, stole nothing. They were just Black and in @Nordstrom.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nordstrom-rack-wrongly-accuses-3-black-men-of-theft-apologizes/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=51450764 …

        how to make this right: 1) Fire ALL the folks who were complicit in humiliating the 3 teenage boys 2) Remove bonuses not just for the store but for region for 5 years 3) Settle with 3 teenagers ... Sensitivity training is nothing when our country is ruled by bigots

        to make this right cont'd: 4) The bonuses that the region did not receive should be GIVEN to the 3 teens for their college funds. 5) The funds should be disclosed as a note to their financials

        I hope all of these cases of white people calling the police on Black people for doing nothing wrong but being Black results in no tragedies and a lot of lawsuits

        This. ^ Someone made a conscious decision to call the police on these young men. Is an apology enough for what you put them through? Unacceptable. Your policies need more than a little work, @Nordstrom . They need a complete overhaul .

        Has there been an uptick in these incidents or has it always been like this & social media is just shining a spotlight on the ugliness? I’m ashamed that I’ve had such blinders on that I actually thought we were past this as a society. How do I help? I’m so disgusted & upset.

        It has always been like this. We couldn’t rely on the mainstream media who has always treated these incidents as minor but now we just have solid documentations, thanks to the invention of cameras on cell phones. #yaaas!

        The media denial and reluctance to report these incidence has allow a great portion of Americans who would have otherwise been allies to live a different truth. I moved to this country in 1989 and lived in a predominantly white neighborhood. I remember hearing stories from some

        Things have change some things are still the same. I grew in the “Jim Crow” era. It was like apartheid in South Africa. Sometimes look if we are going back to that time I’m just saying. God, help us all.
