This story is brewing in NY City of all places. One would think they would know better but apparently blacks purchasing high-end items are being accosted by police on their way out of the stores.

New York's civil rights leaders on Saturday angrily decried the city's brewing "shop-and-frisk" scandal, in which two major retailers stand accused of profiling black shoppers who say they were detained by police after buying luxury items.

"We've gone from stop-and-frisk to shop-and-frisk," said Reverend Al Sharpton, president of National Action Network, alluding to a police crime-fighting tactic that critics say amounts to racial profiling.

A Network representative is set to meet next week with Mark Lee, the chief executive of Barneys New York, following allegations from two black shoppers that they were detained by New York police and accused of fraud after buying luxury items at Barneys.

You can't make this shit up.

I would suggest that anyone who spends $350 on a fucking BELT should be arrested for criminal stupidity.

Macy's and Barney's seem to love those people..... if they're white.

Obviously they're guilty of shopping while black.
