The holidays are always tough on content providers and this recent throwaway column from The Star offers a perspective on worthless throwaway social media rant in place of telling us anything useful about this town . . . Reality is that hoodie complaints aren't the forefront of the next Civil Rights movement but mostly serve as nothing more than a desperate cry for attention for both hacks and social justice warriors looking for their next series of angry tweets.
BTW . . . Most of the security staff at the Westport Slumfresh are also minorities and their job seems tough enough without some bored newspaper columnists trying to second guess a harmless request.

African-American teen told to remove hoodie at KC store | The Kansas City Star
After Sherry Mirador and her family arrived at Marsh's Sun Fresh grocery store in Westport, employees asked her 17-year-old son to remove his hoodie. When did wearing a sweatshirt become suspicious behavior?
A hoodie is not a civil right?
ReplyDeleteThe hell you say.
Hoodie. Poor mans tuxedo.

ReplyDeleteWhen you're an employee of the Star, with a consistently tiresome narrative and NO responsibilities, you can just roam around the metro looking for pretty much anything that doesn't fit with your view of how things should be and "report" it as the latest "outrage".
ReplyDeleteSo many victimized aggrieved individuals and groups every where you look!
And then when the incident turns out to be very different than what it appeared and there's a very serious and bad turn of event, well, that's for someone else to worry about.
All rights and no responsibilities.
What could possibly go wrong?
Have to give some credit to American advertising genius for turning a sweatshirt with hood originally meant for gym class into an item people will pay $100 for and consider essential fashion wear.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the star again. Looking for some kind of SJW rabble rouser news.
ReplyDeleteKC Star: Absent of realism, rife with idealism.
It's about the cameras, Sheila.
ReplyDeleteHey, I wonder why the security measures have to be so elaborate in the first place. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOh that's right. Black criminality and dysfunction.
Hey, will the SJWs claim a slippery slope here?! Is Al, Jesse, and Carwash going to fuss about the burka/hijab clad crowd, monks,and nuns allowed to cover their craniums?! Hmmmmm......
ReplyDelete1:21 nails it, the blacks have brought this crap on themselves, look no further than the rapin, robbin, murderous blacks. They. Ruin. Everything.

ReplyDeleteI saw a white guy arrested at Sunfresh.
ReplyDeleteSounds like that lady and her son need to change grocery stores to another store in the ghetto.
ReplyDeleteGood comments about the hoodies.
ReplyDeleteJust another sign of the times, one man's gym wear is another man's gem.
Somebody should write a book about this "slum fresh" it would one of the most important indictments of KC in years.
ReplyDeleteNatch Tortino Porter had to drag Trayvon into this shit hit piece. No hoodies, no hibjibs, no fuckn service!
ReplyDeleteWhat is black and tan and looks good on a hoodie? A German Shepherd.
ReplyDeleteTrayvon Martin deserved to be killed.
ReplyDeleteAnother beginner article from the race baiting Al Sharpton hustling Kansas City Star.
ReplyDeleteIf I owned a business in that area and black teens wanted to come into my business I'd make them strip down to their underwear and pass through a metal detector. Then I'd have half a change of not getting robbed or my merchandise stolen. Oh and I'd have color high-def cameras. I would give them their clothes back when they left.
ReplyDeletewho writes or says 'When did wearing a sweatshirt become suspicious behavior?'
ReplyDeletethose that intentionally or accidentally miss, deleted or erasing a few decades
hoodies are not even good for the cold or cone of vision unless you tighten the drawstring, but then you look like a bigger idiot.
ReplyDeleteAn absolute low for what was once a well respected newspaper. Lazy, lazy lazy journalism.
ReplyDeleteIndianapolis has a Merchant program that bans hoodies in their stores. I was wearing a zip up hoodie sweatshirt and had to remove it at one of these stores this fall, there. I understand.
ReplyDeleteTheir business, their rules. Don't like it, go elsewhere.
