It’s been a big month in racial profiling news. Trayon Christian, a 19-year-old African American man, was arrested after purchasing an expensive belt with his own debit card at Barneys. Shortly thereafter, a young black woman who also dared to shop at Barneys was stopped by police after purchasing a purse. Next, Macy’s — not wanting to be left out of all the racial profiling fun — ended up cuffing and detaining Treme actor Rob Brown over suspicions that he had used a fake credit card to buy a watch. Way to go, department stores. You’re really killing it at being horrible these days.
