Thanks. No employment discrimination though.

hmmm, do you care to elaborate? law suit against belk, as in the department store? if it doesn't concern employment discrimination, i'm not sure what else you could be suing for. there are federal laws that control housing/rental practices, but outside of those few laws that apply to private conduct, discrimination is pretty much a-ok so long as it's not the government doing it.

I was falsely accused of stealing items out of Belks. I was basically the only black guy in the section and some clothes got missing and manager assumed it was me. I don't know why, but I believe it was a sterotype kind of thing. So I didn't buy anything because I didn't really see anything I liked, so I left out the store and went and sat in the truck with my father. 5mins later a police officer, store manager, and mall cop asked to search my father truck. They didn't find anything. I was also asked to pull my clothes off outside the mall in the public. The most embarrassing thing ever.

the quick and dirty huddle answer is that you're just going to have to swallow your pride. there really isn't anything you can do. they didn't stop you from coming in b/c you're black. they didn't tell you to leave b/c you're black. a manager's suspicion that it was you isn't much to go off of. i would still call an attorney, though. be very specific, though. like were the mall cops, or actually uniformed police officers of wake county? hate to say it, but you might have been a victim of society's prejudice. don't let me discourage you, though. i'm just trying to tell you what you should expect. tell your story to an attorney, and see what he or she says. g'luck.

One little detail I forgot to add is that they said they had me on camera stealing. So the police officer acted on what the store manager told him. Their wasn't enough evidence on camera to draw a conclusion or even have a probable cause that I had taken something. Everything was based on assumption. The store manager said he saw me on camera pick up clothes but he never saw me pay for them. I picked up clothes and tried them on. Once I decided I didn't want them I left the two shirts in the dressing room. Their was one Rocky Mount police officer, their was also mall security, and the store department manager.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
