. THE SEASON BEGINS LATER THIS
MONTH.
MONTH.
MONTH. >>> IT IS 6:37 RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS WHAT'S TRENDING ONLINE.
A CONFRONTATION AT A TARGET
GOES VIRAL.
GOES VIRAL. A CUSTOMER DEMANDS A STORE
WORKER TO TAKE OFF THEIR BLACK
LIVES MATTER MASK. FRANCESCA
AMIKER JOINING US WITH THIS
STORY AND YOUR SOCIAL REACTION
REACTION. I
REACTION. I KNOW THIS CONFRONTATION WAS
CAPTURED WITH A CUSTOMER
OUTSIDE THE TARGET.
>> Reporter: IT CERTAINLY WAS.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE VIDEO OF
THE WOMAN ON HER TIRADE AFTER
SHE WAS REMOVED FROM THIS
TARGET.
TARGET.
TARGET. THIS EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN WEARING
HER BLACK LIVES MATTER MASK FOR
THE PAST THREE WEEKS AND HAS
NOT HAD A PROBLEM.
AGAIN, TARGET HAS A POLICY FOR
ALL EMPLOYEES TO WEAR MASKS,
BUT IT DOES NOT SAY WHETHER
>> I'M JEWISH AND MY ANCESTORS
WERE ALSO SLAVES. SO IT'S NOT
ALL BLACK LIVES.
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S EVERYBODY.
>> SO THAT IS THE WOMAN OUTSIDE
THE TARGET AFTER BEING ASKED TO
LEAVE BY SECURITY FOR A
DISTURBING BUSINESS.
DISTURBING BUSINESS. THE TARGET EMPLOYEE WHO WAS.
>> AND WORKS AS A BARISTA SAID
THE WOMAN CONFRONTED HER SAYING
, YOU DO KNOW ALL LIVES MATTER,
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? THE EMPLOYEE TOLD HER NOT UNTIL
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
THEN THE CUSTOMER USE
PROFANITY, EVEN THE F WORD.
TOLD HER SHE WAS RACIST BEFORE
BEING ASKED TO LEAVE FOR THE
WOMAN LATER TRIED TO REENTER THE
STORE.
STORE.
STORE. OF
STORE. OF COURSE, WE ARE WHERE ATLANTA
SPEAKS.
SPEAKS.
SPEAKS. HERE'S WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ON
FACEBOOK.
FACEBOOK.
FACEBOOK. OVER A THOUSAND COMMENTS ON THIS
ONE.
ONE.
ONE. SAMANTHA SAYS, I PERSONALLY
THINK TARGET SHOULD SUPPLY THEM
WITH JUST PLAIN MASKS TO MATCH
THEIR UNIFORM. NOT THAT I DON'T
AGREE WITH BLM, BUT I'VE READ
OTHER ARTICLES LIKE THIS AND
EVERY MEDICAL OFFICE I'VE BEEN
TO
TO
TO HAS
TO HAS TO
TO HAS TO WEAR THE SAME MASS.
AND JAMIE SAYS, THE WOMAN WAS
NUTS.
NUTS.
NUTS. I
NUTS. I HOPE SHE GETS HELP.
IF THE COMPANY SAYS SHE CAN
WEAR THE MASK, SHE NEEDS TO
LEAVE.
LEAVE.
LEAVE. AND THEN SHE SAYS, IF A
CUSTOMER DOESN'T LIKE A STORE
HE OR SHE SHOULD JUST WALK AWAY
AND SHOP IN ANOTHER SHOP.
AS I MENTIONED, TARGET REQUIRES
THE EMPLOYEES TO WEAR MASKS.
HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T SAY
WHEN IT COMES TO SIGNAGE.
I HAVE MY COMMENTS BECAUSE I
KNOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS.
I CAME ACROSS THIS ON THE
INTERNET AND I HAVE TO READ
THIS AS MY COMMENT.
WHEN THE BOSTON MARATHON WAS
BOMBED AND EVERYONE'S PROFILE
PICTURE CHANGED, NOBODY SAID
ALL CITIES ARE STRONG.
WHEN THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING
HAPPENED, PEOPLE CHANGED THEIR
PROFILES TO STAND WITH VEGAS.
NOBODY SAID STAND WITH
EVERYWHERE.
EVERYWHERE. FOR SOME REASON IF SOMEONE SAYS
BLACK LIVES MATTER, IT'S
INCLUSIVE.
INCLUSIVE. FINALLY, THIS IS NOT AN EITHER
OR PROCLAMATION OR WHEN THERE'S
A CRISIS, WE HAVE RALLIED
AROUND THAT PARTICULAR GROUP OR
CITY OR CAUSE. IT DOES NOT
DIMINISH ANY OTHER GROUP OR
CITY OR CAUSE IT JUST BRINGS
AWARENESS TO PEOPLE WHO NEED
SUPPORT AT THIS TIME.
IT'S A MEME THAT HAS GONE
VIRAL.
VIRAL.
VIRAL. FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T
REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THE
PHRASE BLACK LIVES MATTER IS.
>> I HAVE SEEN IT EXPLAINED SO
MANY TIMES. I FEEL LIKE AT THIS
POINT, YOU EITHER GET IT OR YOU
DON'T. I APPRECIATE YOU TRYING
TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT THERE ARE
SOME WHO JUST REALLY DON'T GET
IT.
IT.
IT. TENSIONS ARE HIGH.
TENSIONS ARE HIGH.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER
WE WOULD EVEN CONFRONT SOMEONE
THAT WE SEE IS NOT WEARING A
MASK.
MASK.
MASK. IN
MASK. IN THIS DAY AND AGE, NO, I
WOULDN'T EVEN CONFRONT SOMEONE
NOT WEARING A MASK BECAUSE YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN AND I THINK IT'S JUST
IMPORTANT TO BE KIND TO
EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT YOUR
VIEWS ARE.
VIEWS ARE. >> PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE
THEIR VIEW A LOOK AT HOW
POLITICIZED JUST WEARING A MASK
ALL BY ITSELF HAS GOTTEN. SOME
SAY THEY DON'T MATTER, SOME SAY
IT'S MY FREE WRITE.
NOW YOU START GETTING IT TO A
MESSAGE ON A MASK.
WHAT IF THAT LADY'S NAME WAS
MISSUS TARGET AND SHE OWNS THAT
STORE?
STORE?
STORE? ENOUGH WITH THE CONFRONTATIONS.
HERE'S MY MASK RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S MY MASK. YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH IT?
COME UP AND WE WILL HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. ENOUGH WITH THIS CONFRONTATION.
BLACK LIVES MATTER, THAT'S THE
MESSAGE.
MESSAGE.
MESSAGE. >> I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE
THING.
THING.
THING. WE
THING. WE SHOWED A SNIPPET OF THAT
VIDEO OUTSIDE THE TARGET. THERE
WERE SOME INFLAMMATORY THINGS
SAID BY THAT WOMAN ABOUT BLACK
PEOPLE AS WELL, SO TAKE A LOOK
