The high-end department store Barneys New York has recently come under fire amidst separate accusations of racial profiling and discrimination at its Madison Avenue location. The news brought with it criticisms of and protests against Jay Z’s planned holiday collection collaboration with the store. The collection, called “A New York Holiday,” was announced in September and is scheduled to include limited edition clothing and accessories.

Famed Civil Rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton recently commented on the requests for protesting Jay Z’s collection with a call to redirect attention on the department store itself. “Some people want to make this about Jay-Z,” he said as reported in an article by The New York Post. “No, this is about Barneys first.” Sharpton made his statements at the non-profit civil rights organization he founded in the early 1990s called the National Action Network.

The grievance industry, created largely by Sharpton, is now ONLY permitted to be utilized if Sharpton can make a profit.
