  The man with dark hair and glasses called my friend a “Ni**er”(the N word - we all know what I mean) when we were in the store looking to buy outfits for an upcoming wedding. He said to another employee while he laughed and I quote “these kids come in here to steal, like we don’t know what’s going on. Like this kid over here (pointing to my friend) I’ve seen this little N***er in here before, he comes in and never buys anything. It’s like they think we are just idiots.”(and then laughed out loud). I went and told my friend what was said and we both left immediately. My friend has never stolen anything and his parents are both hard working, respectable and wealthy enough to just buy what he needs so there is no reason to be in there stealing. He doesn’t buy from Brooks Brothers bc they have stupid styles like they’re stuck in The 1980’s! I have NEVER encountered such a pathetic excuse for a person in my life. I was told by a friend previously that he was treated like a thief and told if he didn’t like the way that man spoke to him he could just deal with it and leave but had assumed he was exaggerating. It was the same man, I took a picture of him before we left. I am only 1/4 African American & appear white looking at me but I was so sick and ashamed I felt compelled to post this! If you have any love for your fellow man regardless of age, race, religions, sexual identity etc. in your body DO NOT SPEND A DIME WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! That was outrageous & my father says he should be sued for such blatant racism. My friend was raised to be honorable & respectful and behaved so but that man deserves to be jailed. Absolutely ridiculous!!! If you read this he is the man with dark hair, glasses, skinny, & balding on top. I didn’t catch a name bc I was afraid if I got close enough then I didn’t know what I would do and I am against violence of any kind and wouldn’t put myself in that position but my head was spinning and I did not trust myself to act as I was raised. -this post is from a profile I created specifically for this post from a friends phone to hide my identity. While I am ashamed & angry, I am fearful of blowback but my friend agreed something had to be done or said and allowed me to use a set up off his phone so I couldn’t be tracked down. This is my real name but nothing else is correct on this profile except the review I have just left above and I will not be reachable through any information obtained from this account including email. My hope is something is done about this.
