Thou shalt not dance (in Target)!

I remember soon after George Floyd, I went to a Trader Joe's and the black security guard was walking around the store with a blaring boombox on his shoulder playing urban music, 1980s style. As a statement, nobody was about to question it, and nobody did. Lots of white people at the checkout line studying their shoes.

I get that, though. If the narrative that lives in your head is something like, "whitey wants to kill all of us and they're just getting away with it," you're at the very least going to do shit like that in public.

I didn't mind. I just thought the sociological spectacle was interesting.

Saw a similar video from a guy from Brighton. He'd been terribly sick for like a year (undiagnosed Lyme disease) and had been stuck in his house for like forever not being able to get out of bed. But he does music things, so he and his friends went to a local store to film part of a music video once he was feeling better.
The manager called them out and said you can't do that kind of thing here.
So they left.
That's it.

They should have said "Please try and show some decorum. This isn't Walmart, you know".
