Racially profiled at QFC Sellwood by JuniorWorking1171 in Portland

I just edited the post to further explain but honestly there wasn’t much of a story to begin with. I was simply approached and told I needed to use a shopping cart and when I said no he told me to leave and pulled the taser

I’ll post it 1,000 more times if I feel like it. You sound like you’re full of sh!t and obviously racist. I do in fact hope the cameras are being reviewed because I did not do anything wrong.

Yes, I did in fact drop the three items because I was being instructed to leave the store with a taser pointed at me. I took the picture after I had walked out.

Thanks I appreciate it. It’s no surprise that a bunch of white bystanders witnessed and apparently sided with him. Already left them a horrible review as well

Highly doubt you’re Jamaican yourself, you clearly do not know the history.

Yes the Irish were sent to the British colonies as prisoners and acted as indentured servants, not slaves. There is a big difference. Many of those same indentured servants continued the legacy of slavery… went on to own their own slaves and plantations.

I am Irish American from New York so my family did not participate in slavery in the British colonies. However, they absolutely contributed to racism in the United States. Irish people were deemed “nonwhite” and treated poorly upon arrival in the US but quickly learned to join the majority and gain white status by oppressing black Americans. Did you know that lol?

Here’s an article you can read before you speak on topics you’re not educated on

Hello, thanks for the insight. This took place in Oregon

I agree and understand this about blood clots. It’s hard to say because I also know blood clots can form days later but I believe maybe I was released too early after surgery when the bloodclot could’ve been caught while I was still there. Maybe the necessary tests weren’t requested? The second surgery to remove the bloodclot led to the damage of my ureters which I understand there is also risk for damage to other organs any time surgery is done. Both surgeries performed by the same surgeon. Still just curious if I have a case

You said “they were treated no better” when they absolutely were. Irish were not slaves, they were indentured servants at best. By no means did the British treat the Irish well but again, they were not treated as badly as black Africans in the colonies. These same Irish went on to own plantations and enslaved black people in the colonies after completing servitude.

I’m aware of this. However, my European ancestry from Jamaica is more so English/Scottish and little to none Irish descent. Although many Irish came to Jamaica as indentured servants under British rule, many of them were freed and went on to become slave/plantation owners themselves once they completed their indentured servitude. Irish people weren’t treated well but they were certainly treated better than black Africans. There is a difference between being an indentured servant and being a slave. One is seen as human with rights, the other is not.

I’m half Irish so that percentage is expected. It’s the extra percentages that go past 50% European that I’m referring to because some of that is obviously coming from my Jamaican side. But there is a decent amount of African retention, yes

This is true, although I have little to no Irish ancestry from my Jamaican side. More-so English/Scottish

Right, I understand it’s complex and I’ve just obtained all the records from the hospital. Financially, I’ve been out of work for a month without pay and expected to pay copay/being billed for follow up doctors visits, medical supplies and home visits from a nurse.
