Do you think the person who posted this question votes Democrat or Republican?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Avyw9...

This person thinks that saying that "black people are only followed in stores because they gave up their privilege not to be, when they attained their reputation for causing trouble" is not racist, and implies that all blacks are responsible for the situation and it is only fair that all blacks have to put up with this! Even if you think such racial profiling is justifiable, how can you possibly conclude that it is fair to blacks who have never done anything wrong?

    They probably vote for Libertarians and Republicans.

    And I think that what he said is pretty laughable. Since when did black people give up their privilege to not be followed in stores?

    It's typical victim blaming, though.

    I'm white and I too get followed by security in stores. Most of the people who follow me happen to be black, Indian or Hispanic. You know what I do when that happens I leave the store and never ever come back since I know they are racist.

    Racism comes in many forms and its only when we refuse to give these assholes our hard earned money that we can feel better about ourselves. Fighting back will only bring the police who will always side with the store you shop in.

    Its only when you boycott those places that you can feel good about yourself. As a matter of fact as soon as they start spying on you leave right there and then. The more obvious you make it the better..They just lost a valuable customer and if there is no other store like it in the neighborhood start one up but don't practice their style of discrimination.

    Your willingness to compete against them is the strongest indication that you aren't taking their BS and that you are actively doing something about it. Lets see how long these racists survive when they chase their customers into your store.

    Source(s): BTW Arabs too practice open discrimination against whites. There is this one store that I actually got into an argument with the guy there because he refused to attend me and attended others. Needless to say that I now shop in the Korean store only a few blocks away and the beer is cheaper too lol.

    Democrat.

    Democrats are the party of racism and keeping African Americans on the welfare plantation.

    That user used nothing but facts in that question. Only a liberal retard would mistake it for racism.
