I was in Lowes with my African American buddy and was profiled

All i can say to the profiler is go f--k yourself.

I had to get that off my chest.

This woman left her purse in her cart while she was shopping. My buddy and I were about eight or so feet from her. She looked at us and then quickly clutched her purse. My friend, who is in his late seventies, mind you, said " I guess she doesn't trust us."

I really thought racism was finished in the 60's, cause I only hung with white folks till I met him. We went to a book store and he was looking for an art book, and I was just perusing the store...he was there to BUY...but the owner stalked him and never paid one iota of attention to me...white thieves should just go into a store with a black friend and steal at will... GRRR!
