With the mainstreaming of critical race theory, the Marxist-inspired toxic concept declaring all white people are inherently racist and all black people are oppressed, it doesn’t take much effort to cry racism.
In fact, anytime a racial justice proponent feels they have not been treated as they so desire it’s a given that race will be introduced. Look no further than an incident that took place at a Target store involving a wannabe star known as Baby Storme.
Steeped in entitlement mentality, the black singer tweeted a video of herself and a flash mob she assembled performing a choreographed dance to her song “This City is a Graveyard” in the middle of a Target store — she is reportedly based in Los Angles.
In the tweet, she accused a white Target employee of being racist for asking the group to stop, saying they posed a safety hazard: “This racist target employee called the police on us for dancing in Target… So we danced anyway. ”

Interestingly, Twitter’s Community Niotes stepped in with a dose of reality: “There is no evidence that the employee is racist. Target has a policy that shopping should be distraction-free. From the video, it would appear that the group is filming and dancing (soliciting attention), which is against Target policy.”
The company website states:
Target has a long-standing policy that prohibits third-party solicitation and distribution at our stores nationwide. To provide a distraction-free shopping environment for guests, we prohibit solicitation and petitioning at our stores regardless of the cause being represented to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Our policy — Target restricts the use of its parking lots and facilities to business use only. Individuals not employed by Target or by a vendor providing services to Target are prohibited from soliciting, distributing literature, selling merchandise or holding events at all times anywhere on Target-owned property or leased property when Target has a right to exclude, including parking lots and sidewalks.
The YouTube video below showcases the interaction with the Target employee:
Storme tips her hand on who the real racist may be when she commented at length in the video description field.
“I was so excited for us to film a quick flash mob at Target,” she wrote. “But before we even walked through the door, this employee called the police on us for being on the property. At first he said we couldn’t film. But when we stopped filming, he still continued to kick us out, saying that we were a ‘safety violation,’ and that the police were on their way.”
Naturally, she emerges as the victim here.
“So, we made the most of what we could. I couldn’t even remember the dance I came up with. This moment for me was one that I really can not describe,” Storme added. “I tried to keep it together, but all I could focus on was all the beautiful brown faces I was able to bring together. That were able to stand in solidarity today. This is everything I stand for.”
Social media users weren’t buying her race-baiting nonsense… here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
“This racist target employee called the police on us for dancing in Target… So we danced anyway.”
In other words: “Everybody who doesn’t let me do whatever I want is racist!”

If it was white people dancing the same would apply.
Why does it always have to be about race with these things?

I’m so sick of this ” if I can’t do what I want it’s because of racism” mentality. Shut the fuck up already

What racism? You are on private property which means Target is well within their rights to kick your entitled behinds to the curb.
Stop using cries of racism to excuse this nonsense.

On top of being disrespectful, it wasn’t even good.
Lackluster, uncoordinated, low energy. If you’re going to disrupt someone’s workday & shoppers at least make it worth watching.
I’ve seen elementary kids putting on a play or performance turn it up better than this.
