While his friend and the seller were gone, Wright-El and the other friend re-entered the cafe to wait for their return. Again, seeing that theyd be there for a while waiting, Wright-El turned customer, purchasing a croissant. And this time, he chatted up the cashier, an Asian-American woman, who also happened to be the owner, telling her he liked the shop and also shared why he was there.

About 30 minutes passed before the two men returned ready to finalize the sale. Wright-El and the other friend exited the shop and waited in his car, a white Chevrolet Monte Carlo, for the deal to be completed.

Not long after, Wright-El and his friend were approached by two police officers, a white man and a white woman, requesting his license and registration. The key wasnt even in the ignition, Wright-El said. He was baffled.

Explain to me what type of vehicle code infraction Ive committed in a parked car with the key not even in the ignition, he demanded.

Growing up, Wright-El said, he had experienced numerous instances of being profiled and harassed by police officers. He had guns pulled on him, and has been stopped while driving numerous times. These incidents left a bad impression of law enforcement on him. So when he was confronted by the two officers that day, he became defensive.

But this situation was much different than the others.

Sensing his agitation, one of the officers conceded to Wright-El that the store owner, with whom he had just spoken minutes ago, called the police claiming there were suspicious black men in her cafe.

My friend and I just spent money in this establishment, Wright-El said. And she has the nerve to call the police on us because we look suspicious? And I spoke with her and told her why we were there.


What else was he supposed to do? How is this his fault guys, can't wait to find out.

Wright-El became more enraged, cursing and shouting, when he saw the owner walk out of the store apologizing. Her excuse, Wright-El said, was that weeks earlier a black man robbed the cafe.

So... Because a black dude weeks early robbed the cafe, another unrelated black guy who bought stuff is also under suspicion of robbing the place.

Yeah, sure.

she's Asian so definitely racism plain and simple. Asian people tend to be very racist specifically towards blacks. If I robbed that cafe they would not be profiling every white man that walked in and hung around for a while.

You had that restaurant up in Canada a few weeks back that made the black patrons pay up front and no one else.

Prior to Wright-El speaking with her, she was concerned after seeing him and his friends entering and exiting the store, because we were people that she wasnt used to seeing in her business.

Does she call the cops on every new customer she gets?

His fault for being black I guess. Though I doubt she would suspect any white man of wrongdoing if a white guy had robber her.

every time a black customer comes in, I hit the fucking deck because I'm expecting an uzi any second. Its pretty dangerous on my face because I always land on it each and every time.

Eh, we asians are super racist towards every race pretty evenly. Even other asians. The moment you turn your back, most likely we are going to be talking about you. Or at least the older generation. I see my parents do it all the time.

Well I'm white and don't care who has a problem with it. Most Asian people i've known had no issues at all plainly stating to me how much they detest black people. Most just expected me to agree.
