Jay Z avoids Barneys racial discrimination questions

Jay Z has yet to speak up on the petition that is circulating the interwebs asking him to cut ties with clothing retailer Barneys after the store was accused of racial discrimination. Jay Z currently has plans to release a curated holiday line through the retailer, with 25% of the proceeds benefitting his Shawn Carter Foundation charity.

New York Daily News attempted to get a reaction from Jigga in Sweden but, according to the paper, a handler stepped in and said "He's not allowed to answer any questions about that."

The man allegedly added "Jay Z maybe will give an answer when the collection is launched at Barneys."

I say, good for Jay for not getting involved in online outrage and nonsense.

One cashier made a terrible, bigoted decision at one branch of a large retailer that doesn't seem to be indicative of the culture of the chain.  Jay Z is supposed to open himself up to a breach of contract lawsuit and lose a huge amount of money for his charity that benefits underprivileged youth because a Change.org user got upset?

Get your head out of your ass, Internet.
