Roxanne states, “two Barney’s customers, Trayon Christian and Kayla Phillips, said last week that they were racially profiled and detained by police after making expensive purchases." She hopes that Jay-Z will use his "celebrity leverage" to bring retail racism to light. Roxanne says, "Racial profiling has been “business as usual" for too long. Jay has the power to bring change. And I'm betting Brooklyn's finest will rise to the occasion."
Prejudice is pervasive, often based on past experiences and it blinds avenues for alternative possibilities. Rose leaves us to consider the adverse miscarriages of justice that prejudice can lead to. Such racism can be seen between the jurors themselves and it is often used to try and undermine a juror's contributions toward the discussions. When juror eleven, the German refugee, questions juror seven's understanding of the pivotal term 'reasonable doubt', juror seven replies with a racist remark, claiming that the migrant "comes over to this country running for

Race, Class, and Gender Patricia Hill Collins' article, entitled, "Toward a New Vision: Race, Class, and Gender as Categories of Analysis and Connection," takes a different approach to the subject matter that looks at how oppression affects people. Collins looks at the three main dimensions of how oppression affects people within society, with those being, the institutional, the symbolic and the individual.

Not only does the person(s) under attack financially suffer, but the city and community loose too.
