There is a local food market that I was visiting because it is a cost plus store….trying to save some money….it looks like I will avoid this store because of an incident recently……
Protests have been staged around the store in my hometown……
GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) – “Black people, do not shop where you are not respected.”
That’s the message a small group repeated while walking around the parking lot of a Gulfport grocery store on Sunday, and while the protest was small, that message was heard loud and clear.
The protest was held outside the Froogel’s in Hardy Court after a couple alleged that racial slurs were made toward them while they were shopping last week.
Kimmiyatta May and her fiancé Bobby Anderson said the comments were made last Thursday by one employee to another.
“She told him these words while I was walking off to my fiancée: ‘Don’t worry about it. These n***** just spending n**** crumbs,” recounted May.
I will boycott the establishment…..I feel there is NO room for this type of crap in the 21st century….I will stay away as long as this racist remains on their payroll.
The New South smells like the Old South to me.
“lego ergo scribo”
I remember similar things being said about black people in London supermarkets at one time. It would never be tolerated now of course.
Best wishes, Pete.
