Have you ever been stopped by the police for running for a bus? I'm just talking about running down the sidewalk perfectly legally. Its happen to friends on mine on multiple occasions because running while black is suspicious. Now as to me, I've been pulled over on mistaken id for a traffic ticket, and also had an officer be incorrect on my driving and even once gotten one I deserved. Now they have also tried to hang different felonies on me at various times, which I had no part in. All times I've been stopped by police I've deserved it. One of black friends who happened to be the son of millionaire business executive and therefore drove a very nice car. He was stopped by the police at least once a week for driving a nice car while black. BTW have you ever been walking down the street and have someone lean out the window and yell the N word at you? I have. As well as a few others including honky, gringo, huerto and pimp. I'm female. We simply don't have time for all the things that have been hollered at me over the years. Most of them I would have to mod anyway as they are pretty foul. At least you got "pimp". Pimp is far better than the alternative right? And probably less scary. The fact that you have to ask if I've ever had someone yell something offensive to me as I walk down the street is an example of how white men really have no idea what its like for the rest of us. That you would even ask that..that you would even entertain the thought that this might not have happened to me or that it has even happened to you as much as its happened to me.... Sure, white people get stopped by police...but as often as black men? No. Are the police more likely to react with violence when dealing with a black person? Yes. Reality Internet Personality |

The fact that you have to ask if I've ever had someone yell something offensive to me as I walk down the street is an example of how white men really have no idea what its like for the rest of us. Wrong. I know offensive sexual things have been yelled at you. You have said so several times in several threads. That you would assume I don't remember speaks volumes about how you view the world. All times I've been stopped by police I've deserved it. That would be exceptional, even for a white woman.

He was stopped by the police at least once a week for driving a nice car while black. Sure, white people get stopped by police...but as often as black men? No. Are the police more likely to react with violence when dealing with a black person? Yes. Police, police, police. You bring them up in nearly every sentence. It is as if you are fixated upon them to the exclusion of all else. Do you believe that every single one of them is a vile racist skinhead KKK member to the core? I'm just talking about running down the sidewalk perfectly legally. Its happen to friends on mine on multiple occasions because running while black is suspicious. Are we still going with the single datum and extend to the world again? I'm willing to give that the police were you live are racist pigs just out to screw with as many brothers as they can. Are you willing to give that is not a universal absolute? Had that conversation about suspicious with a coworker last week. The person has been stopped several times riding a bike from work to the transit stop. Want to try and explain why? A black person running down the street should not be suspicious. But we all know cops aren't the brightest. You would hope they would learn they are wasting their time with all the nothing they find, but perhaps their light bulbs aren't that bright.

The underlying reason we are stopped so often is the perception that minorities are more likely to commit crimes and that warrants greater scrutiny of them. Maybe some cold hard data would refute their (cops) dim light bulbs. |

I'm a white male, and where I live, I'm decidedly in the minority. How, do you think, does that change things? |

Pimp is far better than the alternative right? A pimp is the lowest form of animal to be found any where! |

Sorry - I'm a bit behind here :/ @Gary 100% of people are racist. Got that yet? :) Can I take that as your answer to my question? :) @Robert - what Chris said :) @Clyde Are you defending a Poster's right to express their idea's. Oh... Clyde :( that only blew up again in this thread (after having died out three threads ago) because you misinterpreted an unrelated reference (made by Es) to being about you and your family, to which Es very clearly pointed out that that was not and never had been her intention. @this Pimp is far better than the alternative right? :)))) There is something a lot lower than a pimp in my view... @John I'm a white male, and where I live, I'm decidedly in the minority. How, do you think, does that change things? I could have a go at answering that I think :) but I have an insider's view so I won't :) Good luck getting a response :) |

Well one of the times it happened was in the afternoon. While my black friends would be stopped by the police on a regular basis for running for the bus, I got a ride home once for holding up a bus for over an hour after the bus conductor falsely accused me of not paying the correct fare. Have you ever been stopped by the police for running for a bus? Wrong Chris, the bus incident happened in Central London UK. Plenty of other buses for people to take. |

I have a feeling many here will identify with this column ... http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/20236/ Omar Mahmood wrote: It was one of the coldest days of this winter past, and I was hurrying along the Diag to class. The blistering cold did not turn my eyes from all the white privilege falling around [me]. All those white snowflakes falling thick upon the autumn leaves, burying their colors. Majoring in womyn’s studies, I’ve learned that oppression comes in many forms. Sometimes we fail to notice it because it’s just everywhere – just like that white snow. |
