Re: CJ28 Doesn't like COPS. Says "It's hard being young, black and rich"
 

And if they found something and the police were right, would you still be saying "f the police". Profiling is used because it works. I know we are in 2011 and racism is horrible, but police use the tools they know work. What if profiling stopped a shootout in your neighborhood, would you be complaining then?

[quote=Shadowbyte;801273]This is something that only Blacks guys will understand. I remember Will Smith gave an interview a few years back where he stated that he still gets pulled over in L.A especially if he's driving one his luxurious sports cars. He said once the Cops realize it's him, they become extra freindly and ask for an autograph for the kids, and let him on his way. Now, there's some who will fabricate the entire situation and blame everything on them being Black.

I remember I use to commute with my boss to work(A Black man), on somedays he would take his old beat up Toyota Truck because the thing was an uber gas saver. His normal vehicle was a newer Escalade. However, I remember 3 seperate occasions where he was pulled over for no reason. Actually there were, one time the offier said it because the liscence plate light was to dim, the other one was he was swerving in and out of the lines(which he wasn't), and the third time they pulled him over because he left his gas door open?

I was completely mortified that this was happening, I was thinking to myself this is what Black guys talk about when they get harrassed for no reason. Lord knows what could of happened If I wasn't there. I've seen this happen myself, however like I said, I've seen people cry wolf, when they were guilty as all hell too.[/quote]

Sorry but young blacks also bring some of that stuff on themself. Just look at MTV and thats how they make out the dealers in their videos. Then you have profiling by the cops which is also to blame. To blame one side is not fair.

it worked this time, right?

if this was the 'tip' to investigate criminal activity, the police shoulda said thanks for the tip and just kept it moving:

"the Orlando Police Department got an anonymous "non-specific" tip about high-end cars entering and exiting Johnson's condo complex yesterday afternoon"

I dont think that warrents an investigation...

Re: CJ28 Doesn't like COPS. Says "It's hard being young, black and rich"
 

To be honest if I had a neighbor of any color that had cars always coming and going first thing I'd guess would be drug dealing or some other illegal activity.

Re: CJ28 Doesn't like COPS. Says "It's hard being young, black and rich"
 

As long as my neighbors are quiet I don't really care to be honest. At my last house, I had a problem with people coming and going late at night and playing loud music, instead of calling the cops I went over and asked them to ask their friends to stay quiet when in the area, problem solved.

As a society we are too afraid to talk to our neighbors about things like that for some reason. Instead we just want to get the cops involved.

So your admitting that you are somewhat racist?

Jesus Christ. Reading is fundamental, people.

He said, "If I had a neighbor of [B]any[/B] color..."

Meaning white, black, asian, whatever. So race ISN'T the issue for him, it's the fact that there's a parade of people to and from the residence that makes him suspicious.

Now assuming ANY color be it black, white, red, blue or fusion green is up to no good based on some cars being there is ignorant and racist

What part of any color is racist?

Re: CJ28 Doesn't like COPS. Says "It's hard being young, black and rich"
 

If I see them selling or doing drugs then I would call the police but unless they bring it to my front door, what they do in their house in private is none of my business.

You have changed what I said. I said

To be honest if I had a neighbor of any color that had cars always coming and going first thing I'd guess would be drug dealing or some other illegal activity.

That's one of the first signs of someone dealing drugs. Not always true but if your neighbor has cars coming and going all day and night I'd take the bet they are dealing drugs.

Only transparent people are good. People with any color are up to no good.
