Black Man Claims He Was Racially Profiled At Old Navy!

An Iowa man claims he was racially profiled at a West Des Moines store, and his recording of the encounter with employees has gone viral.



James Conley III posted a series of videos on his Facebook page, saying employees at the Old Navy thought he was wearing unpurchased apparel.



“I found two hoodies and I went to the cash register to check out, and I was asked if I (was) going to purchase the jacket I had on,” Conley said, adding that he got the jacket as a Christmas gift.



Conley said he thought the question was a joke until the employee told him his jacket needed to be scanned because it came from Old Navy.



“There were customers, Caucasian, in front of me and behind me who had on Old Navy apparel similar to what I had on, and they didn't get checked or anything,” Conley said.



After scanning the jacket, Conley said employees tried to make him pay for it. The stalemate reportedly ended after a manager reviewed surveillance footage and saw that Conley has been wearing the jacket as he entered the store.
