=== White Cashier Insults African Garb (02:11) ===

[00:00:00]  You're not gonna believe what this white cashier said to these black teens wearing African garb.
[00:00:05]  Yeah, that mama lost it.
[00:00:09]  Find her.
[00:00:09]  One of y'all need to get her on the phone.
[00:00:11]  What is that?
[00:00:12]  Apologize to my children for your little racist comment.
[00:00:15]  You asked my son was he about to go trick-or-treat tonight when you saw him in culture.
[00:00:18]  Where I said, apologize.
[00:00:20]  Honey, I'm your manager on the phone.
[00:00:22]  You shouldn't make comments like that to no child to come in here.
[00:00:25]  It wasn't this one right here.
[00:00:28]  I asked, and then you're going to stand here and tell me no, it wasn't, you know, I didn't say that.
[00:00:31]  You talking to a child.
[00:00:32]  You in a black goddamn neighborhood.
[00:00:34]  You ought to have a little better diversified training than he called your man.
[00:00:39]  I am going to.
[00:00:40]  I did not say it wasn't me.
[00:00:41]  Did you ask him was he going trick-or-treating tonight?
[00:00:46]  That's not a black neighborhood.
[00:00:47]  That's an African neighborhood.
[00:00:50]  I don't, I don't, I never did.
[00:00:52]  I do not understand what black Americans have is allegiance to Africa.
[00:00:56]  Don't.
[00:00:56]  I just don't get it.
[00:00:58]  First of all, they sold you to white people.
[00:01:00]  Yeah.
[00:01:01]  So why do you have an allegiance to that continent, those countries of Africa, when they sold you to white people?
[00:01:07]  Back up.
[00:01:08]  I want to see them clothes again.
[00:01:09]  Yeah, I mean, it looks fine on women, but when you a man woman, you just look ridiculous.
[00:01:12]  Let's watch the end of this.
[00:01:14]  No, I did say this.
[00:01:15]  Are you going trick-or-treating tonight?
[00:01:16]  I didn't say September.
[00:01:17]  When will he be going trick-or-treat?
[00:01:20]  Exactly when in September would my son in African garment be going trick-or-treating.
[00:01:25]  What's your name?
[00:01:25]  Sandra.
[00:01:27]  What's her name?
[00:01:28]  Alicia, you the manager of this store?
[00:01:30]  I want to talk to you.
[00:01:31]  So let me tell you about Sandra's racist.
[00:01:34]  My three beautiful black children dressed in their cultural garments came in this store to spend money up in this raggedy mother.
[00:01:41]  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.
[00:01:48]  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.
[00:01:52]  No, I didn't.
[00:01:53]  I'm racist.
[00:01:54]  It was you.
[00:01:55]  But see, y'all don't understand when black people act culturally correct.
[00:01:58]  But you understand what I'm telling you.
[00:02:00]  Why do you embrace that culture?
[00:02:01]  Yeah.
[00:02:02]  You're not African.
[00:02:03]  You're born in America.
[00:02:04]  Why do you worship that continent, those people, when they sold you to white people?
[00:02:08]  It's crazy shit that's culturally correct.

=== Mama Confronts Manager Over Racism (05:02) ===

[00:02:11]  So black people supposed to dress that way in blankets.
[00:02:17]  You understand this language real quick.
[00:02:19]  But this female here had no business talking to my children that way.
[00:02:24]  Totally out of line.
[00:02:25]  I have some of the most respectful children in this neighborhood.
[00:02:28]  Everybody working the store knows you see my children all the time.
[00:02:30]  They never give a moment's trouble.
[00:02:32]  And they should not have a moment's trouble.
[00:02:34]  And if they have a moment's trouble, this is a mama coming up here.
[00:02:38]  Where's your man?
[00:02:40]  Freezer?
[00:02:42]  I love his haircut.
[00:02:44]  I got the exact same haircut.
[00:02:46]  But I would never wear that what he's wearing.
[00:02:48]  Yeah.
[00:02:49]  I mean, okay, let me show you this.
[00:02:51]  I mean, to me, I'm American.
[00:02:53]  When I look at African garb, I think it looks pretty ridiculous.
[00:02:57]  It doesn't resonate with me.
[00:02:59]  Yeah.
[00:02:59]  I would never wear it.
[00:03:00]  Yeah, but this is like, I have no calling to wear that.
[00:03:04]  Yeah.
[00:03:05]  But if you wear something like this in the United States, I don't care where you at.
[00:03:09]  People are going to give you funny looks.
[00:03:11]  Yeah.
[00:03:11]  Black people are going to give you funny looks.
[00:03:13]  Yeah, they made a movie about this coming to America.
[00:03:15]  Yeah.
[00:03:16]  They were laughing at him when he was dressed like this, coming from Africa.
[00:03:20]  Where was he at?
[00:03:20]  In New York?
[00:03:21]  People's looking at him crazy.
[00:03:22]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:25]  And she just lost it.
[00:03:27]  I don't, you know what?
[00:03:28]  The cashier was probably just creating conversation and said that jokingly.
[00:03:33]  She probably didn't mean nothing by it.
[00:03:35]  She didn't realize how important that clothing is.
[00:03:40]  I don't think she's racist.
[00:03:42]  I think she might be a little racial insensitive.
[00:03:47]  But I definitely don't think she's racist.
[00:03:49]  And it's around.
[00:03:51]  Who knows?
[00:03:52]  Maybe she thought it was in Africa, it's Halloween.
[00:03:55]  I don't know.
[00:03:56]  You know?
[00:03:57]  But I don't think she was malicious, had any malicious intent.
[00:04:00]  Yeah.
[00:04:00]  She apologized right away.
[00:04:02]  And that don't look like a child, man.
[00:04:03]  That's like a grown man.
[00:04:04]  There's some big kids.
[00:04:07]  She said something.
[00:04:08]  She's trying to be funny.
[00:04:09]  And y'all.
[00:04:10]  Look, this is.
[00:04:11]  I know.
[00:04:11]  I mean, I'm not saying the mom shouldn't be offended.
[00:04:16]  But a lot of people look at that clothing.
[00:04:19]  It's like, well, what's going on?
[00:04:20]  Y'all got a Halloween party or what?
[00:04:22]  Yeah, I don't like her tone, though.
[00:04:24]  Yeah.
[00:04:24]  It was just a misunderstanding.
[00:04:26]  Right, right.
[00:04:27]  Yeah, I mean, she apologized right away.
[00:04:30]  Yeah, she did.
[00:04:30]  Go back to the video.
[00:04:31]  She said, I didn't mean it like that.
[00:04:32]  I'm sorry.
[00:04:34]  Yeah.
[00:04:34]  But look at these clothes.
[00:04:36]  Let me show these clothes.
[00:04:40]  They all got canes with it.
[00:04:41]  Yeah.
[00:04:42]  They all got a cane.
[00:04:43]  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.
[00:04:50]  Yeah, but I mean, I look at that.
[00:04:51]  That looks ridiculous.
[00:04:53]  I would be ashamed to wear that outside.
[00:04:55]  Man, if you wore this in a black community, black people are going to tease you too.
[00:04:57]  Like, where are you going?
[00:04:58]  You going trick or treating something?
[00:05:02]  I mean, that was just actually the white woman, that's an honest response.
[00:05:06]  Yeah.
[00:05:06]  You don't see it every day.
[00:05:11]  I mean, you know what?
[00:05:12]  You call her racist.
[00:05:14]  They would have got the very same treatment if they was in a black neighborhood.
[00:05:19]  She said it was a black neighborhood.
[00:05:21]  Yeah, but people are going to clown you.
[00:05:22]  Not only just white people, black people's going to clown you.
[00:05:26]  That look crazy.
[00:05:27]  A lot of black people embrace that.
[00:05:29]  Getting back to your African roots.
[00:05:32]  I mean, if you saw me in this, I would disown you.
[00:05:40]  I just think it's not.
[00:05:43]  Click that one.
[00:05:46]  There's this cane right there.
[00:05:48]  $251 for that.
[00:05:54]  What a rip-off.
[00:05:56]  Yeah.
[00:05:57]  That looked like straight burlap.
[00:05:59]  Yeah, three-piece African oso okey for men.
[00:06:02]  Festival suit.
[00:06:03]  Gift for him.
[00:06:04]  African attire.
[00:06:05]  Traditional dashiki men's wedding clothing vintage costume.
[00:06:09]  Damn, they even call it a coffee.
[00:06:15]  Man.
[00:06:16]  Yeah.
[00:06:16]  Okay.
[00:06:16]  Stop.
[00:06:17]  Let me go back to this video.
[00:06:19]  Yeah, she apologized right away.
[00:06:21]  Yeah.
[00:06:21]  Yeah, listen.
[00:06:22]  Find her.
[00:06:22]  One of y'all need to get her on the phone.
[00:06:24]  Because you're going to apologize to my children for your little racist ass comment.
[00:06:27]  You ask myself if they got to go trick or treat them like a discount in their culture.
[00:06:30]  Well, I said, apologize.
[00:06:32]  Honey, I'm getting your manager on the phone.
[00:06:35]  Honey, I'm sorry.
[00:06:35]  Honey, I'm sorry.
[00:06:36]  Yeah, she didn't mean nothing by it.
[00:06:38]  She didn't mean nothing by it.
[00:06:39]  She's probably, you know what, that one, that catcher, she's probably one of the nicest people you ever meet.
[00:06:44]  Yeah.
[00:06:44]  She's just a little racial and sensitive.
[00:06:48]  But that don't make her a bad person.
[00:06:49]  Yeah.
[00:06:50]  We all have biases.
[00:06:51]  You know, you just don't see that every day.
[00:06:53]  Say, where you going?
[00:06:54]  You going trick-or-treating?
[00:06:55]  It probably just came out.
[00:06:56]  It's just a natural reaction.
[00:06:57]  Yeah.
[00:06:57]  Because how many times do you see a black male walking out wearing blankets like that?
[00:07:02]  Yeah.
[00:07:04]  She went off, though.
[00:07:05]  I mean, she's defending her children, rightfully so.
[00:07:08]  But man, your tone and how you handled it, you came off very immature.
[00:07:12]  You should have got to know the person.

=== Apologize To My Children (01:18) ===

[00:07:14]  Why you say that?
[00:07:14]  That was very disrespectful.
[00:07:16]  You didn't have to raise your voice this time.
[00:07:17]  Should have said, I'm so sorry, ma'am.
[00:07:19]  Yeah.
[00:07:19]  You didn't have to even handle it this way.
[00:07:21]  You should have came in like a grown adult and approached it that way and educated her on what they're wearing.
[00:07:28]  You didn't have to call her all these ugly names and accuse her of racism.
[00:07:32]  Yeah, the thing is, you overcorrected.
[00:07:35]  You have a right to defend your children.
[00:07:36]  You have a right to confront her about the things she said about what your children's wearing.
[00:07:40]  Right.
[00:07:40]  But you overcorrect it.
[00:07:42]  You went too far.
[00:07:43]  Yeah.
[00:07:44]  You know?
[00:07:46]  That was a, and you teaching your children that now.
[00:07:49]  Yeah.
[00:07:49]  How do you think your children's gonna react when something like this happened?
[00:07:52]  They walk down the street.
[00:07:53]  They go in a barber.
[00:07:54]  They trying to get them a fade and everybody in the barbershop starts laughing at me.
[00:08:00]  What's your name, Akeem?
[00:08:01]  Oh, if they're wearing that African garment.
[00:08:03]  Yeah, they're going to clown you.
[00:08:05]  People are going to clown what they don't understand.
[00:08:07]  Maybe they just had some kind of event or something.
[00:08:09]  I don't think she's got her kids walking.
[00:08:10]  I don't know.
[00:08:12]  I don't know.
[00:08:13]  Maybe she does.
[00:08:14]  Maybe that's, she's trying to get her kids to get back to their African roots.
[00:08:18]  But look at her.
[00:08:19]  She's dressed normal.
[00:08:21]  Why ain't she wearing it?
[00:08:24]  They probably have some kind of special occasion event.
[00:08:27]  African event?
[00:08:28]  Yeah.
[00:08:29]  Americans pretending to be African.
[00:08:31]  Man, that is simply ridiculous.
