Short story shorter: convenience store owner assumes black customers are using phony money, locks them in store
Why editing is important: CBS News 46 uses the phrase “confederate” when they probably mean “counterfeit.”
It should be noted that the students are from Morehouse College, a historically black college, so there would be a good amount of irony involved if it turned out that black students from a HBCU were actually trying to use confederate money.
Ultimately, this sort of racial profiling is yet another sad, sad story in this modern two thousand and sixteen world we exist in now, but it’s ironically humorous to me that CBS46’s writers and editors make an error like this that are probably chalked up to an ironic Freudian slip.
The war never ended for some, y’all need to know.
