Rapper Vic Mensa is the latest African-American man to face unfair racial profiling after police detained the artist and accused him of shoplifting after a $4,000 shopping spree at Barneys.

The rapper took to his Snapchat, where he vented about the police's unfair behaviour. "I'm tired of dealing with these motherfuckers man," he said. "We didn't steal shit. I go in Barneys and spend four racks and get accused of stealing."

Further, Mensa explained that the police didn't even know what they were accusing him of stealing when they pulled him over. The rapper explained that he had purchased some St. Laurent boots, as well as "some more shit." Here's hoping the other shit included a swanky Black Flag T-shirt.
