This makes no fucking sense at all. Can't do shit while being a black person. Makes me want to stay my ass in the house because I don't have time for dumb bullshit and these idiots will be quick to put the blame on you. Hell you probably can't even sleep in your house being a black male. Fuck it.
I feel really bad for anybody who feels this. Am stunned at the levels of intolerance in the states. The UK has its issues but it's nothing like this. Nothing.
Mine too. People should be able to get in with their lives in peace and with equal respect.I'm black( not American though). I go to great mental lengths to avoid feeling like that, but it weighs heavily on the heart seeing this shit happening to others.
I never understood America's obsession with trying to frame POC's as lesser people. Coming from a place where black people are treated as people and not default scum of the earth, reading all of OP is so depressing. One of the reasons i ever want to visit the US is to attend a black gospel church, just for the utter and sheer fun that seems to have.
It is, just so strange, this obsession with blaming black people, for simply existing in the same realm as everyone else does :/
It's a gem.This video always gets me. He starts out with a bit of bass in his voice, until he hears "State Attorney", and then the punk in him comes out. You can legit hear the "I'm so FUCKED!" in his tone.
Updated the link.
Also notice that you can clearly through the other side of the car despite the tent. It wasn't too dark. It was see-through enough for them to know she was Black apparently...That cop went from a tiger to a house cat within a second as soon as she says "I'm a State Attorney".
I feel a lot of it is on what kind of Christianity you grew up with or saw featured the most. America's take on it is vastly different from what it does here, for instance.As someone who has incredibly negative feelings towards religion/Christianity in general, the one positive time I've ever spent with a church was my childhood friend's mom bringing me to their church after our football games (had to go to their church after the game to get the amazing food). Was basically the positive/fun/over the top positive stereotype you see in representations of a black gospel church.
Black police doing the job? Suspicious indeed /s
You all should check out #52.Black police doing the job? Suspicious indeed /s
To be fair though given the climate, any officer doing their job to a t would be suspicious :/

I remember that case. Sad reminder that doing anything while black is dangerous.There was a case not to long ago where a black policeman was shot by cops while investigating a crime
There are two recent cases where this happened. One was Tamir Rice, a 12 year old playing in a park, and the other was John Crawford, who was shopping for a gun in Walmart. Both involved people calling the cops for the usual 'suspicious Black kid/man' with a gun. One was just a little boy playing. The other was a shopper looking over a gun for a potential purchase. Please look into both cases to get the context. Neither of them should have been shot and killed by police. The cops shot first and never asked questions in either case. Neither were doing anything wrong and should not have gotten a death sentence.I don't want to sound ignorant, and I understand that every case here is tragic, but can somebody explain a "holding fake gun while black" to me - is that unusual that person with potentially lethal weapon (in a country where weapons are legal) was shot? I mean cop can potentially be killed in next moment, what do people expect in this case?
Hilarious. That cop went from IAMTHELAW mode to "aw, shucks" mode real quick.
Was this some Ohio bullshit? Just logged back in, peeping quoted posts and I'd like to read the story you talking about. I don't doubt it happened, more in for the pretzel moves dirty as that sounds.There was a case not to long ago where a black policeman was shot by cops while investigating a crime
