BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – The “1619 Project” author, Nikole Hannah-Jones, complained about drug stores locking up merchandise without recognizing the threat of shoplifting in a tweet.
The New York Times reporter remarked how if stores are going to lockup merchandise, they should have plenty of workers to help open the cases.
“I’m pretty sure the new security measure was targeting black people, because for the most part, white people rarely shoplift,” explained Hannah-Jones. “Everybody knows, that if a black person is caught shoplifting, that person will be immediately executed by the police. Whereas if a white person gets caught shoplifting, the cops will come by and pay for the suspect’s medication, groceries, and also give them a few dollars to help them make ends meet… until they have to steal again.”
