Woman Goes On Racist, Pro-Trump Tirade In Michaels Store Over 1 Bag
Source: Huffington Post
A Chicago shopper was filmed having a meltdown inside of a Michaels craft store, during which she accused the staff of discriminating against her for being white and for voting for Donald Trump.
And I voted for Trump, so there. You want to kick me out because of that? And look who won, the unidentified woman is heard yelling at employees.
According to the 10-minute video uploaded to YouTube, the woman believed that a black employee had tried to force her to purchase a $1 reusable bag. Employees can be heard telling her that they offered her the bag because they were out of disposable ones that met the size of her larger items.
Jessie Grady, who filmed Wednesday evenings profanity-laced tirade on her phone, told the Chicago Patch that she broke out her camera so that it wasnt just the angry customers word against the employees.

A South Florida man was filmed ranting at a Starbucks barista after he claims he was denied service for supporting Donald Trump.
In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, David Sanguesa, who is white, can be heard calling an African-American barista trash and garbage while accusing her of discriminating against him at the Miami cafe.
Because I voted for Trump. Trump. You lost, he tells the unidentified employee before asking for his money back. Youre garbage. Youre complete trash.
Starbucks customer Jorge de Cárdenas, who caught the explosive scene on his cell phone, told The Huffington Post that Sanguesa claimed white discrimination shortly before he started filming.

(9,888 posts)When I was in retail in the '80's, because my area was largely white, it was mostly white on white insults. I had an employee told to crawl back under the rock she crawled out from. Calling people "trash" was kind of a norm for the abusive types. It certainly was an eye-opener how the public treated people. And don'y even get me started on the abuse I saw while working at McDonalds...
I considered it a learning experience. Made me tough for my subsequent career in mental health. I had a particular weakness about being called stupid. A summer at McDonalds took care of that.

If the only way for these people to feel shame is if they take a hit to their pocketbooks and can't go out in public without people wanting to throw rotten fruit at them, so be it.

(21,646 posts)brand . The ranting when on for more than a few minutes at the top of her lungs how this black B won't get her cigs . Lady clerk just kept repeating she doesn't have them they are sold out , then her, more nasty language . I yelled I'm calling the police like someone in the op video did.
I'm waiting here to check out , leave her alone I also said . I was a few people down the line and to be honest if I was next to the ranting racist , I probably would not have done that as she was young and very big / large and could be packin but I was just a voice in the crowd Did not stop her but she did finally leave.
Even so I made sure no one was around me when I left .

(21,646 posts)On second view it is clear IMO by her choice of scarf brand, boots and bag that she also clearly like most, really voted for trump based on economic insecurity, so let's not forget that aspect of her anger

If the person persists like that woman, call security to remove her or call the cops.
niyad
(113,239 posts)that goes on and on? cops apparently don't bother to respond to this sort of thing if the offender is white.

(14,853 posts)If there's no security in that place to call, then it's as pathetic as Wal-Mart. (There was an article shared on this board awhile ago about cops complaining about all their calls to Wal-Mart to handle unruly customers.)

(13,421 posts)That tirade extended out for almost 45 minutes and CPD did not dispatch until somebody expressed concern that she might have some sort of medical emergency.
I've seen comments made by the woman that made the video saying that she has received treats for posting it. She was pretty rattled the day it happened but seems to be mostly just pissed off at this point.
Something I think every one of us needs to do is contact our local law enforcement to ask how they plan to deal with this sort of thing. What if she'd had a gun? (Illinois is a conceal carry state, so that is not as far out as you might think!) What if she'd begun physically attacking somebody? Pretty sure there were people there that day that were afraid of her, what about their right to feel secure in their person? This can happen anywhere, and it presents a danger.

(14,853 posts)I just looked at the Chicago video again and saw someone who looked like a security guard standing behind her at about 8:30. If so, that's messed up! She should have been escorted away.
