Half Price Books Sugar Land TX Half Price Books Racial Profiling Racism Sugar Land Texas
I contacted Half Price Books corporate office two years ago regarding racial profiling and discrimination. I was assured then that I would not encounter this in the future. Unfortunately things have not changed. Today I was followed and watched as I shopped. The staff is unapologetic about it as it continues to go on. And I mentioned it to someone on staff that I complained about it two years ago and there has not been a change. . He was like "oh well". If you are African American and have experienced racism and profiling at this store please contact me through this site for a class action lawsuit. This is clearly everyday practice and things will not change until people hold them accountable. The profiling and racism will deter people from gaining information and knowledge. It definitely made my shopping experience unbearable. And when you call the Half Price Book stores with a black tone or dialect they are rude and disrespectful. If you have experienced this same type of discrimination and harassment please voice your concerns and complaints online. More importantly let's let our voices be heard collectively as well by contacting me through this site.

The responses to this post are a clear indication of the racist outlook of many people not only in the Sugar Land area but it is equally the outlook of the employees at that book store. And the one black employee that they keep in the store has no bearing on the culture and direct forms of profiling that go on in the store. Black people can profile other black people as well. The infamous Denny's class action lawsuit was directed at Denny's Restaurant as well as all of its employees which included black people. And I'm sure some of the responses to this post more than likely came from the staff since I told them that I would be posting it. The responses were too quick simple based on someone who may have done a search to find the book store. So I'm pretty certain that these comments were posted by the staff. Black people or if given permission to say "African Americans", please let your voices be heard. This is clear bias and discrimination at these stores.

I have one question for your obvious racist mindset.
Can you please explain what a "black tone or dialect" is?

Your report makes no mention of this so called "racial profile and discrimination". I have been to Half Price Books many times and guess what?? They have "African American" EMPLOYEES!!!! FYI if you are not from AFRICA stop calling yourself an "African American"!! I work with REAL Africans and they are kind, compassionate and they have no attitudes like you do.
