To whom it may concern:

Racism exists in 2006. On January 19 at 4:30 pm, I purchased several items from the Home Depot located at 1151 W Lugonia Ave, Redlands, CA 92374, and was accused of stealing, and there was no logical reason for the harassment.

However, it is my duty to forward my complaint to the Home Depot Corporate Office, the BBB, the Chamber of Commerce, the ACLU, the US Attorney General and Human Relations until I receive a written explanation. Therefore, not only as a Home Depot (Commercial Account) customer, I feel that the Home Depot located in Redlands, California violated my civil rights because I am Afro-American. There was a (prejudice) misunderstanding, but overall I should not have been accused of stealing anything unless Home Depot has concrete evidence of me on video tape and not just a "Black Man" with braids on camera.

Home Depot in Redlands, California is the racist home improvement store in America because I was treated as if I am a criminal, and I will make it my duty to mail 3 letters a week until I feel this issue is resolved.

There is more to this story. Redlands, California police were called.

Thank you.
