A recently shared video on social media depicts a tense altercation in a Memphis Walmart parking lot, where a white woman accused a Black teenager of stealing her wallet. While she insisted her claims were not racially driven, she argued he “looked guilty.” The teenager’s mother, Penny Thompson, uploaded the footage to her TikTok page. The visual illustrates Thompson confronting the woman as two Walmart staff members observe the situation. Thompson urges employees to review the store’s surveillance footage to clear her 15-year-old son of wrongdoing, while she accuses the woman of harboring racial biases. The woman maintains her accusation is unrelated to race but fails to provide any proof. “I don’t care what color you are; he looked guilty!” the woman insists, prompting Thompson to retort, “Guilty of what?!” As the confrontation unfolds, Thompson criticizes the employees for their lack of intervention. Ultimately, the woman contacted the police, with Thompson expressing disappointment over the workers’ response.
