Nordstrom Rack Detained Black Shoppers!

Nordstrom Rack employees called the law on Black shoppers.

Department store Nordstrom Rack had to do some serious apologizing after three shoppers were profiled and detained by the police.

This happened in suburban St. Louis.

Mekhi Lee, Dirone Taylor and Eric Rogers II were shopping for prom clothes when they noticed employees watching them and following around the store.

When they made moves, the employees were close by. I guess they left the store after they bought something. On their way out, they felt nervous about being followed.

Soon the police confront them. They said they were called because Rack employees thought they were lifting merchandise. After a 30 minute chat, they were let go.

Now the teens are calling out the company for the racial profiling. It gotten some attention. The negative kind.

The three teens got in touch with the NAACP to issue a statement on the matter.

The president of Nordstrom Rack was not happy about this.

Geevy Thomas, the compaty's president extended a personal apologynfor the whole ordeal.

"Recently there was a situation in one of our Rack stores that resulted in our employees calling the police. We have guidelines that direct our employees to only call the police in emergency situations. Unfortunately, those guidelines weren’t followed. As soon as we became aware of the incident, Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack, reached out to each of the impacted families to offer our sincere apologies, listen to their concerns and express our extreme disappointment that this situation occurred," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Shopping while Black still exists. It hasn't went anywhere. Let Coondace Owens, Koonvin Jackson and Koonye West know that free thinking Black consumers are still being treated like they're broke geeking parasites.

Even with the money, establishments like this still see Black shoppers as potential criminals.
