TikTok singer brings flash mob to Target, claims racism (but no one is buying it)https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2023/08/16/tiktok-singer-brings-flash-mob-to-target-claims-racism-but-no-one-is-buying-it-n571592It was a mostly harmless stunt, at least until the person behind it started accusing people of racism. That person is a would-be pop star who calls herself Baby Storme. Recently she showed up at an LA-area Target store with about 20 back up dancers and a camera crew and tried to film a music video. Store security responded by politely asking them to leave and then warning they would have to call police if the dancers didn’t go on their own.
Baby Storme responded by posting a video on YouTube and X. The caption on X read, “This racist target employee called the police on us for dancing in Target… So we danced anyway.” There’s a longer description on YouTube which reads:
She was clearly hoping for a lot of “Slayyy queen!” responses but that’s not what she got for the most part as the NY Post pointed out:
“Girl I like your music but as someone who also works in retail: if you’re showing up during the final minutes of closing time, we have to quickly get people out the store so we can get everything in order within those final minutes,” wrote a commenter on YouTube.
“Also, idk (I don’t know) much about flash mobs but I did take a minor course in audio&film and you do need permission forms to be able to film because you’re on their property,” the commenter added.
Good retail workers (and good restaurant servers, ...) speak a special dialect of English in which replies to complaints and craziness always begin with, "I'm sorry that you feel ...," and"I apologize that you feel ...," when the reply in normal English would be, "Get your sorry ass out of
MY store!!!"
As one comment responding to this T-word's antics said, it's stupidly false
Racism-Crying like this that makes it difficult for people who have experienced real racist actions to get the problem dealt with.
Note to DU-onlurkers:
I wouldn't care about the skin color of the "dancers" any more if they were Swedish albinos attempting to do a folk dance video in a hip-hop clothing store in Hunters Point.
