My sister owns a store in a suburban mall.
The customer base is relative to the population- 90% white 10% black.
She had a problem with shoplifters (as most store owners will tell you is a part of business) - only the shoplifters were 90%black, and 10% white. The exact opposite of the size of the customer base.
So... is she racist to be suspicious when a black person enters her store? Are the multiple 'in-your-face' security cameras she was forced to add to discourage theft considered a racist act? Even though the cameras support my above figures?
That is what one shoplifter tired to argue in court- and it almost got the ACLU involved, which would have bankrupted my sisters business with legal fees
Why are ABSOLUTE MORONS like Jesse Jackson and 'Reverend' Al Sharpton (i don't think there is anything reverent about him) always consulted as 'black leaders' and brilliant men like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams ignored?

So was your sister forced to take down the cameras or what?
