Steven Johnson Talks About Being Victim Of Shopping While Black at FoodMaxx Hayward, CA On April 13th, 2024, after 10:08 AM PDT, Steven Johnson went to the local FoodMaxx in Hayward, CA. What happened to him next was a classic case of “Shopping While Black”. A man named Benjamin Cope, who was an “unmarked” store manager at the FoodMaxx in Hayward, CA stalked and ultimately assaulted Steven Johnson for no reason other than Cope’s belief that Johnson was shoplifting. This even though Steven Johnson was in the store, had all of the items he wanted to buy clearly visible, and was not headed to the exit to leave the store. Steven Johnson was then pushed and attacked by Benjamin Cope, who as the video will show, did not want him to finish shopping; he wanted him to leave. Benjamin Cope’s behavior is classic racism. Benjamin Cope had four other workers jump Steven Johnson from behind, push him to the ground, beat him and call him racist names, and hold him until the Hayward Police Officer arrived. Steven Johnson was then perped walked out of the FoodMaxx Hayward, CA store.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
