- Joel and TaMiya, who are Black, say they had just left a sporting goods and apparel store after purchasing their young son his first basketball when the white female manager followed them outside and falsely accused Joel of stealing the item.
TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: Accused of something terrible?
“Anytime a white woman gets into a conflict with a black man in public it’s not a good situation,” says TaMiya, noting that the manager then flagged down police.

“I was afraid my husband would get tased - or shot,” she says.
Joel says, “She sicced those officers on us and told them that we stole a ball that we couldn’t have stolen, because - obviously I didn’t steal it - because I had a receipt,” adding, “I feel like, just [her] lying to a police officer could have got us killed.”
Joel and TaMiya say they felt they were racially profiled by the store manager. Watch the video above to find out how claim police treated them.

I actually work at Nike and within an hour of our first training day, they told us to NEVER chase, follow much less ACCUSE a customer of stealing. You’re not even allowed to leave the store even if you literally saw someone steal something
Same where my husband works. How strange that the Manager would be so brazen, especially when she was so Wrong.
Sam Gates so theres this video of some guys literally robbing a nike store. Like stacks of shoe boxes in their hands and they’re just walking out and all the nike employees are just standing there watching cuz there’s literally nothing they can do lol
Standard for retail because if you’re wrong you can get a lawsuit or bad press, just like this manager is now getting. And she deserves every bit of it.
shantelle F Nice to know. 😏
You are never suppose to follow anyone out of the store even if you know they stole.. you can only stop them at the door. Once they leave you don’t follow.. it’s considered dangerous.. you can loose your job.
Why didn't she just ask the cashiers if they rang up the basketball?
Because she is a racist who thrives off of her false power as a privileged person. She sought out the most conflict possible because in her mind she couldn't lose and it would be an ego stroke to win
RBS hm..I think it makes sense...don’t be naive enough to think that doesn’t happen on a daily basis to people of color.
Lol that would take common sense
Because the cashier's answer would have meant she couldn't have earned any Karen XP
@Cass M 💯
this is so horrible. over a $12 dollar ball? that manager is a clown.
I know right what the heck is that manager she should think first before acting.
Over a ball 🏀 who is this woman? The manager? Unheard of
Police officers for that? Well there are way more important things to tend to ppl Pls
Couldn't she just check the register first if she was unsure? The staff who took the payment. Don't you check with them before you run after someone? This was so unbeleivable
I think she might have less than 3 brain cell’s
I was trained to never chase a customer. If they hit outside, it's an oh well sort of deal.
Yep that’s a fact because the company doesn’t want you injured bc they’ll be liable. But I would’ve 100% showed my receipt. Shut that lady up. Showed the cops the receipt then cursed that lady out.
Yeah, but she thought the world was 'for' her because 'they' were black.
The Dialogue Body Language I do see your point and the whole problem was started by the manager. I’m not denying that but I’m just saying because she left the building and went a block away ( which as a manager myself is ridiculous ) I do hope she’s reprimanded and fired for risking her safety there safety and the companies reputation.
Same I’m working in retail today.
I’ve worked under Nike for almost 4 years and on the first day of training they tell you to never chase the customer out of the store. Even as a manager I was told that time and time again. This lady was racist. Nothing else.
I’ve worked retail and one of the main rules was that if someone stole something and their feet have already hit the ground on the outside of the building, you have to let them go. You don’t follow them bc things like this can happen. Once they’re off the property, they every right to sue the entire store for whatever you do after you follow them outside of the store. That “manager” should know that. So for those saying “this is not about race” then please tell me what this is actually about.
She thought they stole. How do say it is racist? You can't prove her motivation... in fact to prescribe racist motivation is just furthering the problem. Is every negative interaction between a white woman and a black man because of racism? And how can you tell the difference if the aggressor doesn't state their motivation? Can you read minds?
Electric Blue chileeee it’s a twelve dollar ball
Electric Blue you a ALM I can tell probably a trumpie too
Idk I’m just tired of people screaming “racist” at every little thing
@Brandon Piperjack Exactly
When the manager said they couldn't have bought one because they weren't out I laughed. Like you're the manager, aren't you supposed to know what's on the sales floor? She tried act dumb. Like if I worked there, and I thought the balls weren't out, I'd figure they just brought it in from another place they purchased it at. Cuz how they gonna steal them when they can't even get to them in the first place?
This is so unfortunate I’m sorry you had to experience the hate still infecting our country
The United States is the number one most racist country on earth
I was once followed out of a candy store and accused of stealing a pack of candy worth less than $3... it just made the employee look stupid when I showed him the receipt. I was 13 years old.
This is so sad it’s irritating that there is racism. It’s sickening that people do treat other humans like that.
Yeah! I don't know what makes some people think they have the right to do that, but they're wrong and it's sad that they think that way.
It's also fascism and Nazism
The audacity for the cop to say “sir, relax!” Look who is intimidated: a black family with a toddler!
He's not a cop, he's an SS soldier of the American Gestapo
This makes me so sad. I’m so sorry you had this happen. We are all equal, God Bless!!
I agree with that message. It's terrible, the way that manager treated that family who didn't do anything wrong. She should be fired, and used as an example of what not to do on the job in a future training video with the words, "Harassing the customers" flashing across the screen. LOL! Talk about justice! That might teach her a lesson.
Black female in this video: says 20 racist things about white people
White people in these comments: “aww poor babies, it’s so sad they were victims of racism :(“
God it’s pathetic.
To follow someone a city block over a 12 dollar ball is ridiculous. I’ve been a store manager and we were told if we thought something was stolen we were told never follow people.
Also as a woman of color I’ve had this happen to me. I’ve been followed out of the store after buy something and accused of theft. This is why I always get a receipt no matter how small me purchase is. I also will not use self checkout because I want an extra layer of protection. Because I know I will never be given the benefit of the doubt.
Sad state of affairs sis. Where is our innocent until PROVEN guilty. Smh. Stay blessed.
You should not live your life fearing to use self checkout. You should not feel bad if you are followed out of a store. You are not obligated to show a receipt (unless the store has a policy where they check everyone’s receipt - and even then it’s still your choice, but at least you know they aren’t profiling you). If they want to call the police, and the police want to falsely arrest you, you should let them.
I’ve been asked to open my bag when leaving a store and it really hurt to be accused to stealing.
In some areas they do that to all customers at stores. The Walmart in the last town I lived did.
I’m so sorry u had to experience that. No one deserves to falsely be accused of something they didn’t do :(
Afmedic85 it’s weird because I feel like I never have to show my receipt at Walmart and neither does my family. I’m white
@@lilygrace4263 My husband (white) did get asked for proof once. It happens, but not disproportionately, like it does to non-white individuals.
Christina Cody what I’m saying is. Of course it happens to white people too, but it is more common among black people.
Oh great another Karen. Don't these people have anything better to do?
Nope
I am African and try telling some Africans that racism is real and showing them such videos they think they are immune to racism. They say those are African American problems forgetting we are all black. As a Kenyan I can tell you for sure most people worship the white man here. It's pathetic!!
John Fragka who are u referring too? The lady who was accusing them of stealing was wrong not them
Yeah calling the police over a 12 dollar ball that someone already paid for is a very Karen move!
@@johnfragka2453 but why should they have to show the receipt for something they bought, especially if there's cameras in the store
If she actually snatched the ball out of the little boys hand, I would’ve done something myself. And I’m white. I don’t judge anyone WHAT SO EVER. I treat all races the way I want to be treated. I feel so bad for them. I hope they will be safe in the future and the baby boy will be healthy. 🙏
These black folk are the ones pointing out race here. Race has nothing to do with this. It could have been any color of a person. A lot of pointless information is also thrown in by this family for no apparent reason.
Oh so the manager chasing a 12 year old out of the store is just for no reason ? why are white people always saying “it’s not about race” as if you’d know 💀
It’s not about race. They made it about race.
The “black folk” are right I am a “black flock”
Tyler Blanchette yeah, I kinda tend to agree. And it was a not great moment for the manager/police but to be honest I’ve been treated worse and profiled by the police for far less.
@BigCatsFanFLA You are gaslighting and deflecting therefore you are complicit too.
The moral of the story is if you're a minority, keep your reciept. It's a sad world.
Ironic I saw a Nike BLM ad before this video
DM Moffett907 synchronisity? ☺️
G 😂😂
Wow this is ridiculous. Couldn't she just check the cameras if she was worried instead of making a huge scene and embarrassing these people?
Even if he had stolen it, it's not like it was a Michael Jordan-signed championship ball....it's $12. Calm down, Karen.
I’m sorry this happened to you bro. Canada is pretty legit if you wanna come up here ❤️
Not really
Its maybe a little better then the US but we have a long way to go too..
LOL.. Yeah these two would fit in perfect up there..
@@IvanaSantini lol maybe a little...
Oh shut up. Self righteous canadians.
All I hear out of TaMiya's mouth is white women, white women, white women..................who is the racist?
The white woman
Don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by the mob. This race card abuse is way out of proportion. Any misunderstanding that happens with a black person is seen as racism.
First off, usually people who steal do so by covering it up, not by having the supposed “stolen,” item right out in the open for everyone to see. And she could have asked the person who charged their purchases if indeed they paid for it, they could have looked back at the purchase items. A small ball is really nothing to make a big deal out of it.
What a beautiful couple. I'm sorry that happened.
I hope that manager got fired and those officers are forced to take a black studies course or CRT at the local community college
How chaotic and disrespectful of that manager. This is racism at its finest. There’s transaction history, there’s other employees you could have asked, there’s an actual theft prevention procedure you must follow, there is so many things you could have done before causing a whole scene. In front of the baby too, that’s just evil.
‘The white woman’ listen how she puts emphasis on white. Sorry this happened though.
But Karen was white.
the only time it's ok for her to speak to your manager
It'd be on the computer register if a ball was rung up in the last hour.
This manager is the ultimate karen!
If you are asked to show a receipt then show your receipt that's how it works the woman tried to explain why and they didn't want to hear it these people are fools
This happened to my mom too once, she’s white. It’s not just a black person thing. But this is absolutely terrible and it should not happen.
He doesn't deserve to be treated that way but he shouldn't argue with the police either.
This man shaming the police officers for no reason. If someone calls 911 for a theft the police would obviously approach the situation likewise they checked the the receipt and all. This is the managers fault for calling them. DON'T BlAME THE Police for every frickin reason
That's how it is now sadly
Police should show up to a scene with an unbiased view, collect information, and make a decision based on the correct circumstances, NOT show up and say “give her the stolen ball”..... equality is all people ask
Mady Darby exactly!
The police handled it poorly with a presumption of guilt. That’s the issue, sparky.
@@MadelynDarby I agree with you that people should not be treated like this but all I said was that the cops were not to blame here. According to their procedure they would have asked them to leave the ball for some time so that the cops could check whether it was theirs or not (by showing receipt) and afterwards returned it. All this could have been interpreted differently by the family who were being harrased by the manager.
I don’t know if it was truly a case of racial profiling or just miss communication. This never happened to me. We’re can I watch the full video without editing.
Great job hiring managers nike
That’s everyday for me!! I hate going places where I live (Minnesota) because the hate is real!
That's blimmen sad. And those people would probably think they 're good people.
@Jah Will B Dunn hey I appreciate the honesty lol. I'd rather know for sure who we're gonna cap when it goes down.
Nike Manager put the couple and there baby in danger .. this is crazy this manager should of been charged with false report and being racist !!
This couple is racist. They will raise their son to be racist.
Now this happened it's totally unacceptable watch out for the kid he is going to grow up to be a NBA all 🌟 one day I wish him luck then you can see who is superior then, the same store brand is going to be in line for him to be the face of the brand
Sorry u guys had to go through this! I understand the man saying he was embarrassed. It makes me cringe :( All this because of the shade of their skin? On top of this situation being absolutely disgusting, Racism is just so darn cringeworthy and embarrassing🤦 When will it ever end?
People are so quick to pull the race card
Too quick
If you’re not black you don’t really have a place to say if they’re pulling the race card lmao 💀
megantheestallion I’m black and feel they were too quick to pull the race card
Kayla Santos well then we obviously have different opinions then lmao
@@gemmagem6360 it is called observation, a person can learned from another persons mistakes. If I am not European does that mean I cant study Europeans and learn from their actions, or understand their plites?
No other way i would have handled it...well done to the couple...
I thought to myself "what is this white woman" stopped watching.
Exactly you being racist against white people too
You're offebed by MENTIONING RACE that but not that actual RACIAL profiling. 🤔🙄🤔🙄🤔🙄🤔
Outrageous. I have no words for this. I am honestly speechless
Call in a strike. Dial 911 its no different to calling in a drone in Iraq.
That so call manager needs to be fired, point blank......NIKE will loose money and customers, we’ve had it with these nasty racist people harassing good black people.
No matter what country you live in Black people are profile. It is sad. This is the world we live in history, repeating itself year after year.
Seriously Dr Phil
And of course the racist cop told the father to return the "stolen ball".
The lady at the boutique asked if I wanted a receipt. I was horrified at the thought of leaving the store without one. But then again debits come out immediately, so at least there's some proof. But hand me my receipt please. Thank you.
Wait how do they know it was about race?
Ok black couple was off the charts angry! Therapy was the best thing he said. I understand the bs from the store manager but aggression is never a way to calm the situation and teach her what she did was wrong.
you would be too if you were accused and not believed and the cops automatically said you'd to hand over their property to a white woman accusing you!!!
Why blur her face doe?
I’m confused did they show the receipt or not? I’m a white la biting Citizen and I get asked that same question to... just wondering
Did u even watch the video? Because they clearly show the cop reading the receipt and even showed a pic of it on the screen. She should have NEVER followed them and ACCUSED them. Theres NO EXCUSE
How are you confused? 😂 the receipt is very clearly shown multiple times 🤷🏼♀️ la biting? 😂😂😂
Those police need to go to jail
They “felt” racially profiled?
I remember when Dr Phil called out projection for what it was
Honey.....please take the time to educate yourself
I’m sorry you’re a racist
Chee I'm sorry your so paranoid chill
If that was my store and I was her boss that manager will been fired from that store because that was uncalled for all she had to do is ask them excuse me do you have a receipt for that ball oh okay I'm sorry please accept my apology to call the police and the way they act I agree with the lady when she said all you have to do is excuse me sir do you have a receipt for that ball because I understand I'm getting the the manager or the person said that it was stolen and once he's showing that he had a receipt the police officer should have said I'm sorry y'all be about your way y'all have a blessed day and that was wrong and that's what cost confusion and that's what costs a lot of anger and all I ask God to help both sides and that woman to be fired cuz she don't need to be in a kind of job like that at all and accusing people when they have a receipt that is really unprofessional and I was ignorant
So odd because management is not supposed to follow or approach shop lifters outside of the store anyway. That lady needs to not work in a customer oriented place. I hope that lady learned not to assume anything especially based on color
This is the most dramatic thing I’ve ever seen lol. That “white women”
Based on your pfp you look like a white woman I myself am a white woman so what it doesnt matter but that's not dramatic
No. It’s not dramatic. It’s a racist micro aggression that could’ve ended deadly for that Black couple
Yikes your racism is showing
So was the lady white ?
Tf where’s is the racism name me one instance of racism
What happened to the manager?
Will Smith will play this man's part
Did she get fired. Did they win the lawsuit?
Omg,,A baby and a ball? A $12.00 ball at that! Are you nuts. That store should be boycotted to the imp degree. She should be fired.
Yo what the heck? All she asked for the receipt. Instead of accusing her of being racist, comply and give the manager your receipt
BALAJI V that’s a lie the manager usually doesn’t see people but items
BALAJI V so the employees have to check the receipt
BALAJI V security cameras. Not that hard to look at them
I'm sure the employees do not like working under that manager. That's absolutely insane. I'd advise that couple to not worry about filming the incident and just show the receipt. Then later get a refund and write a letter to Company HQ. I get worried that the cell phone footage escalates and causes more harm than the "evidence" it provides. We certainly don't need a video to know these incidents happen. Sad that people that actually do steal don't even really the unintended consequence is this kind thing happening.
WHATEVER. SHOW THE RECEIPT. YOUR RACE CARD IS DECLINED. SAVE THE DRAMA FOR YOUR MAMA.
You must be White
They did show the receipt. The manager still said they stole it.
@@tranurse stop lying
Michelle watch the damn video, they showed the receipt
What if he had lost or dropped the receipt?
Yes this is absolutely ridiculous!!😡 I would also just like to say and this may be news to some but YES this happens to ALL RACES.
The workers in the store must be able to tell, if they bought it.
so sorry :(
I will steal a $13 ball?
Her husband Joel is handsome!
I love how this whole thing is based on the woman accusing them being a white woman thus she mustve of accused them because they’re black.
I would like to hear both sides
Check out her TikTok
@@mikeylove3 where
Really disheartening, that we don’t treat people equally, everyone is a person. Today’s society shouldn’t be like this. We’re all equal. BLM.
Racism
Horrible manager.
I feel bad for the family and the cops. The cops did the right thing by the end. The police believed the manager, which is understandable. But they saw the receipt and they said ok. You can't get mad at the cops in the video.
The manager is horrible. She should have asked her employees instead of assuming. It probably was because they didn't have it in a bag or something. But this is why you always have a receipt.
We're all just sick of your complaining
Sorry..if you were approached and falsely accused for stealing something because of your race still in 2020...i think you would be a little pissed imo...I'm a irish white person and found this clip so disgusting
Joshua you’re racist
@RBS you forget that the Irish were hated in America for the longest time. Believe it or not, the KKK hated the Irish as much as the blavks for the longest time. It was weird.
"This has nothing to do with race"
ALL WHITE PEOPLE
The title is annoyingly misleading they had the receipt so yes they were racially profiled😊
i think this is more of a misunderstanding than a racial profiling. lets say the couple was white, the same thing would have happened cuz the manager said the balls were not for sale or wasn't suppose to be.
I don't understand where all this hate for black people is coming from. That store manager is clearly racist. All she had to ask for was a receipt if she wasn't sure whether they bought it or not. I wonder if she had done the same if the family were Asian.
Probably. But since she's white they label her racist
Most likely. Racists see all People of Color the same.
Really come on now this is just stupid he has proof that he bought it this a new one for me
Just to clarify did not mean to say for me
How much money did they get from Nike?
You have a hood up it has nothing to do with you being black ffs
Bruh. They act like the officers and the manager were being cruel and demeaning. They saw a little boy with a basketball and asked if they paid for that. All the couple did was yell, and make a scene about "racism". They were literally just asking for the receipt and they would not give it to them. tf?? why must everything be racism??
Because that's how it is now a days. It's crazy that the race card gets pulled all the time.. it happens all the time to white people but not everyone whips out there phone to record.. I don't understand people will refuse to show their receipt start telling and blowing up the situation worse and then say they are embarrassed..I don't get it
@@ashleyhardy9399 I totally agree. It's absolute craziness. People need to grow up, and stop being so fragile and afraid of "racism".
@@ashleyhardy9399 nah y’all just ignorant racism is a real thing
How are they cruel? I think it’s cruel to falsely accuse people of stealing, especially when officers kill unarmed Black people disproportionately in this country. Why should anyone ask them for a receipt? If I managed a store, and I was competent, and I was concerned that someone may have shoplifted, I would have asked my employees if anyone remembers them at the register. If I was a more than competent manager, I would have checked the cameras myself.
I had it happen Im white. I dont see well and that causes me problem. I understand how that felt.
Must be fun not having to worry that your skin color will automatically make you guility.
@@thedialogue9545 Isn't being white nowadays, immediately assumed a privileged person
@@ApostleOfDarkness yes, because your skin isn't making your life harder. However it does not mean you are financially privileged
@@neeren777 what are you even talking about?
Apostle of Darkness whites a are automatically privileged does not mean your rich or that you are wealthy it means that’s because of your skin color life would be easier like say you went for a job and someone did too that person had to be black and guess what you even went to the same place for education you both are very skilled and she knew a little more then you but instead you got the job because you are white that’s just one tiny ex of many more
They're being a little ovedramatic to be honest
You don't feel for their situation, when they were innocent. Do you think Karen manager should have apologised for her embarrasing accusation? The cops should apologise for saying to the couple hand over the stolen ball? Really, really?
someone leaving a store without their item(s) bagged looks suspicious no matter what color you are; but all the manager had to do was ask for a receipt (which they had one) and then apologize. The police were totally useless and sided with the manager even though they had receipt for the item. The only gripe I have with the black couple is them thinking the officers are going to immediately gun them down or something just for them being black and her saying that white women always have bad interactions with black people (which is a racist statement).
The "Black couple" in this instance where perfectly correct in their assessment.
And anyone with a scintilla of knowledge of American History, not to mention
American current events would know that!!
I’m white and I’ve had the police treat me far worse for far less. The manager created the issue here, it’s not the cops fault.
But it's systemic, systemic go find a dictionary and learn what it means.
The Dialogue Body Language oh it’s systemic is it?? Can you please explain the statute, regulation or body that makes this systemic? Btw, nice dialogue for someone who’s clearly not even sure what it means themselves.
I agree that's her fault. She's the racist one here however what was the point of the cop saying to him ur intimidating her when she was the one who chased them a block. They (the 🥓) were indeed taking sides and being 🍑👅rs as usual. They could have stayed silent specially after reading the recipe and seeing the manger was the wrong one.
hate to break it to you but that's life when you are bi racial or black my first experience with racisim was my first grade teacher.
That sucks for them, but you needed therapy bro? Come on lmao
talk about privilege
The pettiness is so annoying....I dont see the big deal
I think both sides are pretty bigoted
Black people don't hate white people, she works with 95 percent of them in her work. He doesn't hate white people. They were profiled for having melanin in their skin simple, simple, simple.
The Dialogue Body Language so basically ur saying “i’m not a racist i have black friends” 💀
I know what everyone is saying about "you shouldn't follow someone" n such but to me that's the point of the receipt. I've had a few times be asked to show my receipt in a parking lot for something I bought... you know what I did?.... I showed em the receipt haha.
Ima go nuts at Walmart next time they wanna ask about something I didn't bag, record it, and get on Dr. PHIL and looks ridiculous too.
Damn
When that dude gets wakanda built this will all end. All you had to do is show your receipt.
They're just looking for attention. It happened LAST YEAR. Everyone on the show anymore is just looking for clout
My best friend and former roommate is a black guy. We've had so many public disagreements it's not even funny. We were joined at the hip so we had friendly but stern words over everything from cereal to who gets the living room TV for a date that friday. I totally get where she was coming from, don't get me wrong, but that comment instantly made me think of Steven and me. 😂
But yes, this lady chasing them as they left the store was a complete Karen.
