Mom SNAPS after White cashiers ask her kids in African clothing if they’re Trick-or-Treating!
# wedding clothing trick or treating stereotypes african cultural garments black identity cultural appropriation dashiki festival suit overcorrecting public confrontations racial insensitivity racial profiling racism sandra slavery

Sandra confronts a white cashier who questioned her son's African attire, sparking a debate on racial insensitivity versus cultural appropriation. While the mother demands an apology and critiques the clothing's ridicule in America, others argue she overcorrected by raising her voice and attacking the cashier's character without context. The discussion highlights the high cost of traditional dashiki suits and suggests that wearing such garments outside specific communities invites mockery from both white and Black observers, ultimately questioning whether the mother's protective rage was justified or an excessive reaction to a potentially innocent, albeit clumsy, interaction.

White Cashier Insults African Garb 00:02:11
You're not gonna believe what this white cashier said to these black teens wearing African garb.
Yeah, that mama lost it.
Find her.
One of y'all need to get her on the phone.
What is that?
Apologize to my children for your little racist comment.
You asked my son was he about to go trick-or-treat tonight when you saw him in culture.
Where I said, apologize.
Honey, I'm your manager on the phone.
You shouldn't make comments like that to no child to come in here.
It wasn't this one right here.
I asked, and then you're going to stand here and tell me no, it wasn't, you know, I didn't say that.
You talking to a child.
You in a black goddamn neighborhood.
You ought to have a little better diversified training than he called your man.
I am going to.
I did not say it wasn't me.
Did you ask him was he going trick-or-treating tonight?
That's not a black neighborhood.
That's an African neighborhood.
I don't, I don't, I never did.
I do not understand what black Americans have is allegiance to Africa.
Don't.
I just don't get it.
First of all, they sold you to white people.
Yeah.
So why do you have an allegiance to that continent, those countries of Africa, when they sold you to white people?
Back up.
I want to see them clothes again.
Yeah, I mean, it looks fine on women, but when you a man woman, you just look ridiculous.
Let's watch the end of this.
No, I did say this.
Are you going trick-or-treating tonight?
I didn't say September.
When will he be going trick-or-treat?
Exactly when in September would my son in African garment be going trick-or-treating.
What's your name?
Sandra.
What's her name?
Alicia, you the manager of this store?
I want to talk to you.
So let me tell you about Sandra's racist.
My three beautiful black children dressed in their cultural garments came in this store to spend money up in this raggedy mother.
And she wasn't happy until her mama came over here acting this way because she asked my children where they going trick-or-treating.
And then when he came in here and pointed out exactly which one Sandra, she at first tried to tell me it wasn't her.
No, I didn't.
I'm racist.
It was you.
But see, y'all don't understand when black people act culturally correct.
But you understand what I'm telling you.
Why do you embrace that culture?
Yeah.
You're not African.
You're born in America.
Why do you worship that continent, those people, when they sold you to white people?
It's crazy shit that's culturally correct.
Mama Confronts Manager Over Racism 00:05:02
So black people supposed to dress that way in blankets.
You understand this language real quick.
But this female here had no business talking to my children that way.
Totally out of line.
I have some of the most respectful children in this neighborhood.
Everybody working the store knows you see my children all the time.
They never give a moment's trouble.
And they should not have a moment's trouble.
And if they have a moment's trouble, this is a mama coming up here.
Where's your man?
Freezer?
I love his haircut.
I got the exact same haircut.
But I would never wear that what he's wearing.
Yeah.
I mean, okay, let me show you this.
I mean, to me, I'm American.
When I look at African garb, I think it looks pretty ridiculous.
It doesn't resonate with me.
Yeah.
I would never wear it.
Yeah, but this is like, I have no calling to wear that.
Yeah.
But if you wear something like this in the United States, I don't care where you at.
People are going to give you funny looks.
Yeah.
Black people are going to give you funny looks.
Yeah, they made a movie about this coming to America.
Yeah.
They were laughing at him when he was dressed like this, coming from Africa.
Where was he at?
In New York?
People's looking at him crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
And she just lost it.
I don't, you know what?
The cashier was probably just creating conversation and said that jokingly.
She probably didn't mean nothing by it.
She didn't realize how important that clothing is.
I don't think she's racist.
I think she might be a little racial insensitive.
But I definitely don't think she's racist.
And it's around.
Who knows?
Maybe she thought it was in Africa, it's Halloween.
I don't know.
You know?
But I don't think she was malicious, had any malicious intent.
Yeah.
She apologized right away.
And that don't look like a child, man.
That's like a grown man.
There's some big kids.
She said something.
She's trying to be funny.
And y'all.
Look, this is.
I know.
I mean, I'm not saying the mom shouldn't be offended.
But a lot of people look at that clothing.
It's like, well, what's going on?
Y'all got a Halloween party or what?
Yeah, I don't like her tone, though.
Yeah.
It was just a misunderstanding.
Right, right.
Yeah, I mean, she apologized right away.
Yeah, she did.
Go back to the video.
She said, I didn't mean it like that.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
But look at these clothes.
Let me show these clothes.
They all got canes with it.
Yeah.
They all got a cane.
I guess you go in there, you go in the store, you get the top, the pants, the hat, and the cane comes with it.
Yeah, but I mean, I look at that.
That looks ridiculous.
I would be ashamed to wear that outside.
Man, if you wore this in a black community, black people are going to tease you too.
Like, where are you going?
You going trick or treating something?
I mean, that was just actually the white woman, that's an honest response.
Yeah.
You don't see it every day.
I mean, you know what?
You call her racist.
They would have got the very same treatment if they was in a black neighborhood.
She said it was a black neighborhood.
Yeah, but people are going to clown you.
Not only just white people, black people's going to clown you.
That look crazy.
A lot of black people embrace that.
Getting back to your African roots.
I mean, if you saw me in this, I would disown you.
I just think it's not.
Click that one.
There's this cane right there.
$251 for that.
What a rip-off.
Yeah.
That looked like straight burlap.
Yeah, three-piece African oso okey for men.
Festival suit.
Gift for him.
African attire.
Traditional dashiki men's wedding clothing vintage costume.
Damn, they even call it a coffee.
Man.
Yeah.
Okay.
Stop.
Let me go back to this video.
Yeah, she apologized right away.
Yeah.
Yeah, listen.
Find her.
One of y'all need to get her on the phone.
Because you're going to apologize to my children for your little racist ass comment.
You ask myself if they got to go trick or treat them like a discount in their culture.
Well, I said, apologize.
Honey, I'm getting your manager on the phone.
Honey, I'm sorry.
Honey, I'm sorry.
Yeah, she didn't mean nothing by it.
She didn't mean nothing by it.
She's probably, you know what, that one, that catcher, she's probably one of the nicest people you ever meet.
Yeah.
She's just a little racial and sensitive.
But that don't make her a bad person.
Yeah.
We all have biases.
You know, you just don't see that every day.
Say, where you going?
You going trick-or-treating?
It probably just came out.
It's just a natural reaction.
Yeah.
Because how many times do you see a black male walking out wearing blankets like that?
Yeah.
She went off, though.
I mean, she's defending her children, rightfully so.
But man, your tone and how you handled it, you came off very immature.
You should have got to know the person.
Apologize To My Children 00:01:18
Why you say that?
That was very disrespectful.
You didn't have to raise your voice this time.
Should have said, I'm so sorry, ma'am.
Yeah.
You didn't have to even handle it this way.
You should have came in like a grown adult and approached it that way and educated her on what they're wearing.
You didn't have to call her all these ugly names and accuse her of racism.
Yeah, the thing is, you overcorrected.
You have a right to defend your children.
You have a right to confront her about the things she said about what your children's wearing.
Right.
But you overcorrect it.
You went too far.
Yeah.
You know?
That was a, and you teaching your children that now.
Yeah.
How do you think your children's gonna react when something like this happened?
They walk down the street.
They go in a barber.
They trying to get them a fade and everybody in the barbershop starts laughing at me.
What's your name, Akeem?
Oh, if they're wearing that African garment.
Yeah, they're going to clown you.
People are going to clown what they don't understand.
Maybe they just had some kind of event or something.
I don't think she's got her kids walking.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe she does.
Maybe that's, she's trying to get her kids to get back to their African roots.
But look at her.
She's dressed normal.
Why ain't she wearing it?
They probably have some kind of special occasion event.
African event?
Yeah.
Americans pretending to be African.
Man, that is simply ridiculous.
