I personally have suffered many injustices as far as the police go and it was because of my race. Sometimes i was the victim and other times I had done nothing wrong. I have been pulled over on many occasions and actually asked "How can you afford this typee of car" Like black peoplare only drug dealers and criminals. I filed a restraining order against an ex and the police came to my house looking for him and I tol them why would he be here if I called you. They said "Well you black girls always let your men back in the house". Once I called the poilce because I had a burglary in my home. They never showed up and the police station is 7-8 blocks away. I've also called because a stalker was beating and kicking on my back door and it took them over an hour to come and I called twice and my mother called twice from another location to get help to me. I've had to many bad experiences and no good experiences to respect them at all.

no one: I don't think lack women and children get better treatment. We get a lot of the same treatment, plus some differences in regards to those who are suppose to serve and protect. I've never been protected.

BonnyRogu...I don't need your sympathy and it has nothing to do with where I live. Unwarranted harrassment happens to blacks all over the US by law enforcement. I don't expect you to understand. You and your husband acting silly in a car and the police let you go show biased in itself. You've already mentioned on many occasions you are married to a white man, so you have a sort of immunity if you will. Begging for forgivenes only works when you do something wrong which you did. If I did nothing wrong I have nothing to be sorry for. I do not dislike white people and if you read my questions and actually think about what I'm saying you would know that I do not hate, dislike, or harbor any ill will toward all white people. My questions are posted to create awareness, other views, and to stamp out hate and stereotypes.
