It's all over the headlines white celebrities
accused of borrowing black culture
Taylor Swift had to shake it off when this video got haters hating
Talk-show host Wendy Williams says it's nothing new
White people take this in the best way
some of you have been
Appropriating my peoples culture longer than many of us have been alive
We're at easy pickins in Orange, New Jersey
How will customers take it when our saleswoman Jazelle finds nothing funny about Alissa's choice in clothing?
Excuse me. Yeah, do you have us in another color? Are you buying that as a gift? No, it's for me. I'm sorry
We don't have that in white
white?
What's that supposed to mean? That means I don't sell to white girls who are pretending to be black
You are out shopping when you notice a sales woman giving a customer a hard time simply because of her choice in fashion
It's a confrontation that's pretty black and white
What would you do?
What's your problem with me? Honey look in the mirror
Look at how you dress! That's your style? Yeah, you guys have so many cute things like just my style here
It just looks like a little off. I think it might look like you're kind of pretending
Well that quickly catches this customers attention. "I'm sorry what is your role here?"
I work here.
But if she's asking for an opinion
She's talking about Iggy Azalea
She's got corns in her hair.
So what?
It's cute.
Now Jazelle questions what she's actually defending. So you're defending the white girl?
There you go. How dare you!
Honestly, put that down. Go somewhere else.
Put that down, go somewhere else.
Thank you
Before Dora goes somewhere else, it's time to tell her it's What Would You Do.
You actually took her dress and threw it up and said don't buy it here
Yeah
Don't buy it here because you're spending your money
Just like anyone else in this store for you to come across here and say that she's dressing like what is dressing black?
I didn't know that we had a color for our dress, which is disrespectful
Throughout the day. You should probably hang that up
Not everyone supports Alyssa's sense of style
I
Look like
How I've always dressed I don't see
This woman even offers ELISA some pointed guidance on what not to wear
That's why I thought that would look so cute like the matching set with like these sneakers
And some other customers advised ELISA on how to deal with those haters
I just can't believe she was saying that stuff to me know let anyone ever make you change who you are
If it makes you happy dressing, oh you make yeah
Now Alyssa's bag shopping for clothes
I think right away Giselle makes it clear. She finds Alyssa's choices and
Uncomfortable fit are you trying to be black?
This man is shot and he wastes no time
Dressing down Giselle
Don't we have enough problems without fighting over clothes we have enough problems you you don't know but that's not right. That's not how you
she's a customer you suppose a
Satisfied customer she actually got opinion about something. That's all you have to do with not a black and white face
I'm not trying to be offensive. I just thought she should know that she looks like she's pretending no, but she's not pretending
So you standing up for the white girl
Alright we should break up time to make this right and tell Jabari what would you do?
That was good
Very good. You did very well Oh
What was going through your mind?
I just felt as though it was wrong for her to say that like
She's white where black is too much chaos going on. That's her style
I think that's how she wanted to dress
We reset the scene and now Giselle is added one last time you want to buy that is that your style?
Yeah, totally is my style
Shannon Stephens totally agrees
Yeah, I think so, too
Don't you think she's trying to look black that comment leaves Shannon speechless but not for long
Never sells a customer not even if you think no, it's always yes
So we're gonna tell her how fabulous she's gonna look in this outfit
Look at her look at it
She's right
How does that mean? We don't see color. It's
2015. Okay, I'll never say that
ever but Giselle is not ready to take that advice, but they're gonna take away our style and I think
Instead of an apology Giselle argues. It's us
versus them white people do this to us all
it doesn't make a difference because at the end of the day, we're all sisters like Uncle I
Got to compose myself. Give me a second, but you pull me to online the packaging
She shouldn't do it to you and you you shouldn't do it to her either. I'm serious. I'm so serious right now. I
Can't believe y'all got me
You're in tears I am because that is wrong you don't do that to anyone no matter whether they're black
Why is it important to speak up for someone else if something is wrong?
You should speak on it because if you let it go past then someone might think it's not right simple as that
