http:\/\/espn.go.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/13928294\/john-henson-milwaukee-bucks-alleges-was-victim-racial-profiling<\/a><\/p>\n

I found this story on feedly, and it really hit home with me. John Henson of the Milwaukee Bucks allegedly was a victim of racial profiling in Wisconsin, which is no surprise to me. A jewelry store in Whitefish Bay wouldn\u2019t allow the Bucks player to come inside because they thought that he was coming in to rob them.<\/p>\n

Now, I understand that this store has been robbed before, but it wasn\u2019t robbed by a black person . Henson believed that the jewelry store locked the doors because there were four black men coming into the store, and they may have thought they were about to get robbed.<\/p>\n

Rather you think that the jewelry store was justified or not for locking their doors ,and calling the cops, this gives them a bad look. Even after the cops arrived and explained to the employees that this is a Milwaukee Bucks player and he presented no threat to them; the employees still wanted the cop to stay.<\/p>\n

Henson said in a statement that he \u201cwouldn’t wish this on anyone. This store needs to be called out.\u201d I believe they do need to be called out \u00a0along with some of the stores in downtown Milwaukee, because I have been a victim of the same thing.<\/p>\n

I love downtown Milwaukee , I go down there to do a little shopping every now and then. One day I had my little niece with me, just by chance I was wearing all black that day. A store called the police on me, what really got me upset was my intentions wasn\u2019t to steal anything from this store, and they went by what I was wearing. Another thing is I had my two year old niece with me; I just\u00a0 feel like a lot of people ,not just black people shouldn\u2019t have to go through things like this, but I guess this is how society is now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
