I went to a chain-store called "Target" I'm sure nine out of every ten people would be familiar with it. So I was in line just buying a pack of gum. I was with some friends, two of my friends who were with me were African-American. What bothers me was how the clerk acted, there was a Caucasian in front of us. He seemed nice, until he was with us. We all made separate purchases. My friend Alexis he started to frown when he was scanning her items. (she is African-American) When she was handed her items she asked for a bag, and he raised his voice and told her to get it herself that it's right next to her. I'm sure that's apart of the Cashier's job though? I had one item and he offered a bag to me, she had quite a few. No matter her items were small but when you raise your voice to someone because of there skin color? That's racism. I thought people were over that.
