Why did this guy at the flea market race-shame me?

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

I am a Black man of Jamaican descent living in New York City and I saw this guy selling Make America Great Again (MAGA), Keep America Great (KAG), Trump 2024, DeSantis 2024, and Let's Go Brandon shirts and hats. I visited the flea market that he owns and he threatened me for "looking suspicious" even though I had nothing bad on me, no drugs, no guns or anything. He called the police on me and mind you they definitely had me handcuffed for 15 minutes straight considering that he thought I was going to "rob his bank". I was finally let go and told by police to stay away from the guy. And I'm not making any of this up, I literally voted for Trump but I don't know if I can trust Trump again considering the attitude of the flea market owner.

Consider this:

You had 1 bad experience with him and now you avoid everyone from that political party.

How many bad experiences do you think he had with liberals (most Black people are liberal)?

It only took one experience for you to want to treat people from a particular group differently, so why should he be any different with his reactions?

by the way, any conservative in NY is not going to be happy because they likely had MANY bad experiences with people there regardless of the person's race.

What you just said makes no sense. You have been an ultra Trump maga supporter since you have been here. And you don't know that racist sexist xenophobes form the base of his support?

Man, get out of here.

Thank that man for his racism and expect to get more of it in the future.

This man is a racist. assuming somebody has a certain trait or set of behaviors based on skin color is the very definition of racism. The vast majority of Trump supporters would agree with me.

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

But this racist himself is a Trump supporter. Also, to recall, I voted for Trump.

[exitseven]

I know that but just because he did does not mean that everyone else that did is a racist.

[RolandCuthbert]

@exitseven You literally destroyed your own argument.

He is a trump supporter. So why would he think all trump supporters are racist.

@hostboy__fastestlaps Dude, are you racist? And if you are, may I ask against whom?

[exitseven]

@RolandCuthbert I don't know. Maybe because you are black he automatically assumed that you were a criminal which is the definition of racism.

[RolandCuthbert]

@exitseven Dude, you don't seem to understand we are two different people.

Your guy here is a solid trumper. I would vote for Mickey Mouse over trump.

My point to you is that you destroyed your own argument. Why would he think every trumper is a racist, when he is a trumper?

I think the point is, he is cool with you guys mistreating "Black" folks.

He just doesn't want you to do it to him personally.

He thought you looked suspicious. Where is the race shaming? Are you implying he can't think white people look suspicious?

Don't worry, don't let one random bad apple change your opinion about who you should vote for. The other bucket is filled to the brim with rotten apples who will cancel you the second you step out of line. Just take a look at places like Resetera or RPGnet.

Because you are a fucking brainwashed shill that doesn't know better.

Dance with the devil if you like, but it'll only be to his tune. You've just not realised that yet.

Nice try. You will never see someone selling maga attire in NYC. And you are a left-winger according to your history on this site.

[mrwells15]

I feel like you saying that while your profile is private is pretty ironic

Conservativism is based on fear, not surprising that a full blown maga dude is scared of a black guy

[Dargil]

I think your whole narrative is made up and is bullshit. But you can play the victim all you want

[Esperdragon]

So you've finally realized what Trump's other supporters really represent. Perhaps you should choose a more moderate Republican who doesn't espouse racist thought.

[Philyouup]

why did he shame you? He was selling Maga shit, that’s all you need to know! MAGA is horrible

[Anonymous]

I found this story on the internet so this must be true. No one is going to sell maga gear in NYC unless they want their stand burned down.

[jimmy2]

He should apologize to you and give you a couple things

[BTCMoon]

This sounds fake
