Racism at Victoria's Secret store in Alabama

[Morphine Prince 109,650]

(CNN) - Victoria's Secret has apologized to a woman who posted a widely viewed video on Facebook saying she was kicked out of an Alabama store because she is black.

Kimberly Houzah says she and another black woman were told to leave the store by someone she thought was a manager. The lingerie giant said the employee is no longer with the company.

In her video, Houzah says the incident started when a third African-American woman was allegedly accused of shoplifting on Wednesday at the store at the Quintard Mall in Oxford. The manager, Houzah says, then told her and a third black woman they needed to leave the store.

Houzah's video begins after she has been told to leave. In the background you can hear someone saying, "I just need y'all to go."

It's not but generalizations about states are old. Alabama may have long ways to go but it's a lot better than it use to be .

I need to slap that manager in the face.

I'M SOOO TIRED OF THIS BS  God it just gets worse every fu*king day.

Not gonna question the state cos even in Calif and New York, there are still homophobes and racist walking around. But the perpetrator themselves.

This is so stupid, racists and religious extremist seems really bad at business, why drive potential costumer away just because they don't look similiar to you or such? Especially in these kind of times when business are tough. 

Maybe they feel awful and jealous cos someone the always sees on lower class than them can actually afford things that they themselves can't hardly afford?
