Eric Andre: I was racially profiled at the Atlanta airport

HuffPost

The comedian and actor tweeted that he was the only person of color in line when he was stopped by two plainclothes officers Wednesday down the bridge and asked for a "random" search. "I told them no. Be careful," he tweeted. Several hours later, the Clayton County Police Department took responsibility for the interaction but denied Andre’s version of events. Andre called the police statement "sad and full of misinformation," adding: "I did NOT volunteer to a search and I did not volunteer to talk. You guys flashed your badge and detained me with no probable cause except for racism. This is JIM CROW RACISM @ClaytonCountyPD I DID NOT VOLUNTEER TO A SEARCH. YOU ARE HARASSING ME. THIS IS RACISM!"
