Trump supporting store manager has a hissy fit over a goddamn coupon. He calls the law on a Black woman for a petty coupon. |
Matson was captured on video calling the police on Camilla Hudson at a Chicago CVS.
Hudson was shopping at that location and had a voucher for a CVS brand product.
Somehow, this coupon that Hudson had pissed off Matson. The store manager was filmed visibly shaken calling the law on her.
Hudson was in the background saying to the store manager, "Tell them I'll be here when they arrive. You can tell them her name is Camilla Hudson. I have ID and will share it."
Matson said that person is "African American."
She shot back saying, "No I'm not African-American. I'm black. Black isn't a bad word."
By the end of the call, Matson retreated to the backroom and waited on the cops to come. She posted the video on social media and it went viral.
Matson is an openly gay Trump supporter. He is a part of the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of socially conservative LGBT Republicans who advocate for anti-LGBT policies.
Another manager at the time told Hudson that she better leave the store, he wasn't playing. She refused to leave.
Three officers in tactical gear came into the store and talked to her. She didn't get arrested but asked to leave the property. So she shared the experience on social media and it attracted CVS executives.
A CVS spokesman said a regional director contacted Hudson as soon as the company became aware of the incident.
"CVS has begun an investigation and we will take any corrective action that is warranted to prevent it from happening again," the spokesman said. "CVS Pharmacy does not tolerate any practices that discriminate against any customer and we are committed to maintaining a welcoming and diverse environment in our stores."
Camilla Hudson was angered by a store manager calling the law on her after she used a coupon. A coupon prompt the Chicago Police to respond. |
CVS's coupon debacle is the latest instance of a "white person calling the cops on a black person" under questionable pretenses.
In May, a Starbucks barista in Philadelphia called the police on two black men because "they didn't buy anything." In Oakland that month, a white woman – dubbed by social media as "BBQ Becky" – called the police on a black family that was barbecuing near a city lake.
And in San Francisco in June, a white woman – dubbed "Permit Patty" – called the police on a 8-year-old black girl selling lemonade because she supposedly didn't have a permit.
Welcome to Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka. Where a man who calls the police on a black woman for having a coupon. A goddamn coupon. Wow, this is idiocy.
