walking into this store
I just got paid my children got their grades up and deserves a Gift
so I'm in the store
walking around the store looking for the perfect gifts for my children walking in and out of the aisles. I'm trying to find the perfect gift to put that smile on his and her face so I'm picking up different items and examining the items really well to make sure my children enjoy these items. I really don't enjoy these items.


now I noticed that in every aisle I go in
I have a new friend in each aisle I go in
now I am beginning to be impatient I see white people walking around the store and nobody's following them but I turn around and there's someone following me I just came here to pick up a couple gifts for my kids who got their grades up and said today was payday I wanted to reward them but I am being followed by store security like I stole something. so I go up and ask the person why are you following me and they tell me we're not following you but then I go in another aisle. and the same person comes right behind me and stands over my shoulder as I examine this new toy.

so with the toy in hand I ask to see the manager and the manager says sure what's the problem.every aisle I go in the security keeps looking over my shoulder and not letting me shop,

manager tells me if you don't like the way I'm running the store and you can just leave. I am a paying I deserve respect, I wanted to buy my  children a couple of gifts but I don't feel right shopping when I can't look freely and everybody else it just doing whatever they want but yet store security is following me, watching me on all the monitors like I did something wrong when I have enough money to buy everything in the store and more. it's probably drug money sir Mister. manager I'm a businessman I don't sell drugs why do every black person has to be selling drugs when all white people are selling drugs now I'm being racially profiled in the department store for being black and guess and all the world will know and this place here will be getting shut down.
