Jim Jones vs L.A. Fitness

Let’s face it, the country has been dealing with racial issues ever since settlers from England arrived here centuries ago. While we’ve managed to come a far way since that time, that still doesn’t mean that the issue of racism has been completely eradicated. In a recent incident involving famed rapper Jim Jones and the popular gym chain LA Fitness, it appears that the dreaded “R” word has reared it’s head once again.

While trying to find a charger at LA Fitness, Jim Jones explains that he was allegedly racially profiled. According to the rapper, his membership to the gym is being revoked for no good reason. In the Instagram video below, Jim Jones gets the LA Fitness employees on film as he pleads his case.

While all the facts have yet to come out, it would be truly a sad day if the allegations are true. In a day and age where people are more health conscience, it would be unfortunate if people were being profiled as they simply look to get themselves in shape.
