tWitch shared a story about his experience with racial profiling by mall security guards when he was a teen. The: Actually, no Andy, that's not the difference. Here is my scenario of what actually happened when I was a teenager shopping in target. I had a pair of sandals that I didn't want and because where I got them on the opposite side of the store and I had to leave, I put them on top of one of those clothes racks and went to go check out for the stuff I was going to buy. Security had apparently been watching me the whole time but missed the part where I put these sandals on top of a clothing rack and they thought I stole them. So I was ambushed as soon as I left the store and forced to go back in the store. Even when they couldn't prove I stole the sandals they still didn't believe me. It led to them begrudgingly calling me a week later to apologize. But my point is, none of this happened because of my skin color. That's the point, Andy.

I admit that I too have contributed to this type of profiling and in my case I didn't confront the person or talk to him. I only thought just by looking at him in the grocery store that he might be there to steal. I'm very very sorry for my behavior.

I'm Hispanic and once I went with my mom to the store and I notice one of the workers kept following my mom I knew it was because she thought my mom would steal something from the store so I told my mom and we left

Props to Ellen for committing to this and using her platform to facilitate change. It is a very uncomfortable issue to unpack, but actions like this are making a difference.

It's incredible how Black people think they are the only ones who are racially profiled. I've been racially profiled by hostile racist Black police officers several times.
