And in my opinion race is a complete non-factor at this point. There is not a thing which indicates it happened because the guy is burnt umber or darker.

This crap happens to everyone. Something similar has happened to me. It happened to the duck guy.

Until some evidence shows that this happened due to race, it shouldn't even be an issue. Only the people who constantly focus on skin color want it to be about skin color.


Truly this is more of an issue about police overstepping their bounds than anything else.
 
Speculating....yet, you are sure that 1) Macys did not call the police 2)Rob was somehow involved in the call to the police.....


I never said I was sure about any of it. As a matter of fact, all I've done is stress that we don't have enough info to know anything at this point.


You are really ruining your credibility with constantly making this crap up trying to make me look bad. At least have an honest debate with me, you can prove your point without stuffing words in my mouth.

Spatial, you have repeated over and over in this thread that you think he is not telling the truth. Then you go through a phase when you say that's not ACTUALLY what you are saying....that he's a liar.

Not once have you considered that Macys is not being truthful. No, its all about Rob making stuff up.

Then, you kicked it up a notch by attacking him personally. Not to mention your childish quips about me being unable to side with you because I find him attractive.

You've never heard of Treme? Really?? Have you heard of HBO, the network it's on? You may not have ever watched Treme, possibly because it's about the lives of (mostly) black people in New Orleans post Katrina, but to say you've never heard of it beggars the imagination. 😱

And, please stop with the lawyerly half lies. Treme is slated to start it's FOURTH and final season in December.

I have HBO and watch movies on it occasionally and I can't remember seeing commercials or the show Treme. Then again I have uVerse U450 plan and there are many shows that I never seen or heard of either.
 
Why does it have to be an epidemic before its a problem?

So, its okay if this occasionally happens? Nobody should be bothered by it?

No saying it's not a problem on a individual basis but not to the point they treat everyone that shops in the stores the same way. Seems if these stores were truly racist there would be a huge uproar and DOJ Civil Rights investigations going on.

"Possible, probably, maybe" are not definitive statements.

And I'm just teasing you about your crush on him. Lighten up a little. Seriously. It's an internet forum, we should be able to have a healthy debate without going off the deep end over it.

No one need to make crap up to make you look bad, you do that all on your own. And quoting you is not putting words in your mouth. It's been very evident in P&N for some time that you're racist, and you continue to prove it. We're just calling a spade a spade.

I don't think anyone here will argue that Macys treats all of their black shoppers this way.

I shop at Macys on occasion and have never had a problem.



But, that doesn't mean that there aren't questionable things going on at their flagship store in NY.

Oh so now you're saying FOR A FACT that questionable things are going on in the store??
 
Nope. That's not what I just said.


Nice try.


I'm done responding to you for now. I'll be back when other people start posting again.
