Default WalMart redux

When the
cops got there, one of them grabbed the guy, and told them, "We need to
see about that forged check you brought in here."

The HR manager is black. The check is good.

It was spent at Target, according to the story.


Did they call the cops because they thought a black person couldn't have
access to those resources? Does the story say that? Or has it gotten to
the point that as long as you are black, everything that happens to you is
automatically racially motivated?


And you think that a guy who comes in with payment for a pre-order, in the
form of a company check--and GAF is a sizable company--with a business card
(admittedly not much for ID), a driver's license, and the assurance of a
phone call to the company's accountant was stalled, grabbed and screwed over
because he was...what? Possibly if this had been a personal check, there
might have been some hesitation for such a sizable sale, but ID was proper,
the order was waiting for him, and so was trouble in the persona of the kind
of jerk-off that companies like Wal-Mart too often hire. Then add a
delightful cop to the mix, and they picked on the guy cause he hadn't wiped
his nose.

You figure it out.
