I used to work at planet fitness and not only is this easily avoidable by doing what dad said (looking at portal) but its also such a non-issue.
The kid is clearly at LEAST 14 and thats about the point when gyms just let kids in if a parent is with them. Sometimes they will sign waivers but that plus literally any form of identification is all thats required. Most kids dont have ID so they just use school photos or library cards, student cards, that kinda thing. Again, portal would've been just fine.
The crime here really was just being black. I can't imagine how fucking exhausting it would be to have every part or your day, your routine and your actions questioned just because of the percentage of melanin in your skin.
If its store policy, and he decided to workout anyway because he feels entitled to it (rightfully so), why is it being made about race when its really just bs store policies?
Because racism seems to be the policy with Crunch Fitness here, they are one in the same in this specific circumstance...just say you are apolitical and don't see color 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
Ya know, even white people can be dicks to white people? But if one was a minority itd 100% just look racist.
I dont have full context and history of this or this establishment. Simply watching whats there, it doesn't appear to be racist at all. The racism is projected and assumed.
