I could have been Trayvon Martin.

Black males in America are looking at that slain child and are thinking, "There but for the grace of God, go I."

What I'm reading here is: Zimmerman shot the wrong guy.

1. I think every Black Male ...

over the age of 15, has found themselves in a situation where they were in harms way, just for being out in public.

You mean like Clarence Thomas, Allen West and Herman Cain?

13. I live in a suburban area that is very white and I watch the cops pull African Americans over

This is a bi-state area. Almost every time a Kansas cop pulls over a car with MO plates, the driver is African American or Hispanic. I remember my dad complaining about this 40 years ago. Racial profiling is real. It disgusts me. I wish I knew what to do about it. I'm getting tired of complaining. It isn't accomplishing anything.

34. Some time back I had a coworker

Good man, I learned a lot from him that has become fundamental to who I have become as a person.
bile
Before that, I had been stopped by police only three times in my life. 2 for exceeding the speed limit, once when I had just started driving and had my brights on passing through a residential area.

When he was driving, we got stopped every couple weeks. The next year, when I was driving, we never got stopped once.

He also noted he got turned loose with a "keep on going" a lot quicker when I was in the car with him than when he was on his own.

 :thatsright:

I've had hundreds of co-workers and dozens of employees over the years.

I've learned incalculable lessons and pearls of wisdom from most of them.

Their skin color never even registered as a factor.

Oh **** it! Here's the link, I don't feel like wading through the bile today.

Believe me, I saw a guy coming down the Spaulding passing on double-yellow and almost did a head-on with an oncoming car.  MA plates.  Wish HE would have been pulled over.

Trust me, I've no love for Massholes.

Try being a bunny some day. It's the same specieist shit all the time.

"How do your feet reach the pedals?"

"Your ears are distracting the other drivers."

Then go ahead and make a rabbit vs. pigs joke and see how far that gets you.

Well I just looked up Trayvon and what it's all about.  Looks like that one could go either way.  Those are the kinds of things that divide people very quickly and there is no evidence to prove one way or another.

This is what ticks me off, every child killed, every innocent person killed is a tragedy, where are the protests with the killings that go on on a daily basis in the community?

When I'm driving on an interstate highway, cruising along at 75 or so, about every ten or fifteen minutes a car will go blasting by at at least 90.

My estimate is that at least three-quarters of the time that speed racer is being driven by an 0bamaite.

I'm sure if he's stopped for speeding, he claims it was for driving while black.

If the DUmmie wants to reduce the number of black people being pulled over by the police here are some suggestions.
1. License the vehicle.
2. Put on your seatbelt.
3. Turn down the subwoofer.
4. Fix the lights.
5. Fix the exhaust.
6. Fix the windshield.
7. Don't run the red light.
8. Don't speed up to blast thru the yellow light.


This is based off of my observations of black people being pulled over in Milwaukee.

African American? You mean like Charlize Theron?

As per wikipedia (link): Theron became a US citizen in 2007, while retaining her South African citizenship.

Oooh, I want in. I had a friend at work back in my early adult years who took me into her home for a couple days when I had the outs agian with my dad. Another black woman who knew her came over and asked right in front of me: what's that white bitch doing here(I did not know this woman from Adam).

Fast forward 30 some years, I work with a horrible woman now, black, claims to be a Bible believing Christian and constantly inserts herself into people's business and tells outright lies to the management. She singles out white men, but particularly white females ONLY. I have been the victim 2 times so far, but she has harassed plenty of others. No other reason except every last one of these gals are white/hispanic since I don't work directly with her and have had no interaction with her at all.

But please, by all means dummies, kid yourself that racism only happens from whites on blacks. Those are just two personal incidents from the years. I know of many many other incidents of EXCUSED black on white racism--the excuse you idiots use is that blacks don't have the power. Hmmm..the woman in the latter story I mentioned is a higher grade then I am; potentially, she could hold a position of some authority over me if my workload changed. That's not power? Fortunately, everyone knows she's a bigoted hag so her ridiculousness gets no traction among those even higher then her. Funny thing is I've never done anything like she has done to me to a person of color--NEVER. But I'm the defacto racist.  :thatsright:
