hmmm..i really don\'t know what to make of this....i mean if the store was closed then it\'s closed...shouldn\'t matter who you are..i don\'t care if you\'re the prez....nobody should get special treatment because of their celeberty status....
http://www.news4jax.com/entertainment/4662899/detail.htmlMichael Leake, a black pharmaceutical salesman in Toledo, Ohio, knows this experience all too well. "It happens all the time," he said. "That\'s just life."
Once, at a high-end shopping center in Los Angeles, he said, a sales clerk referred to a white customer as "sir," but turned to Leake and greeted him with, "What\'s up, homes?" He confronted the clerk.
"I was like, \'How\'s he "sir" and I\'m your homey? I\'m interested in why you speak to him in a more respectful way than you speak to me. We\'ve all got money to spend here,"\' Leake said
this has happened to me alot,...but only because at least in my situations the clerk was either black or puerto rican....so for me it wasn\'t a thing of "dissrespect" it was moreso of them relating me to their background or character.....but i didn\'t get the what\'s up homie greeting tho
...it was more like "what\'s up man" or how you doin\' cuz?...
