    Everyone I go to the checkout, I get followed by the mall cop. I know it’s just me because I don’t see it happening with anyone else as it is too obvious. Thing is I would never think to steal anything. Never will. I know what I want to buy and I know if I have enough or not.

    I think they follow me because I’m brown. Oh to have the privilege to roam around a store free and even deal in villany and mischievous behaviours.

        Ha, yeah. I like it when I set off the alarms at stores and then ask, you want to look at my stuff? They just wave and say, naw, your good. Couldn’t get caught if I tried.

      I’m a white guy with a big nose and a solid beard, and I get “random” TSA security checks just about every time I fly. It’s almost as if there is a reason for all this

      spoiler

      Its definitely racism

      See what you need to do is act just suspicious enough to keep their attention on you for no reason, and off the people who actually are stealing.

      Teamwork makes the dream work!
