i was with one of my white friends not to long ago when this other white guy comes up to him and says:'' man you hang with ******* now''? of course i got mad and we got into a big argument. and the white police walks up, breaks the argument up and throws me to the ground. hand cuffs me, puts me in the car, and immediately asks the white guy who he calmly talks to, why I ''assaulted'' him. GUESS WHO WENT TO JAIL?

Double standards in many cases prevail, even in the gay environment. My question to you; did you make an attempt to give the officer an explanation as to the catalyst of the altercation. After all, its clearly a hate crime that warrants your response. Although, I find it unimaginable that someone would end up in jail; on a simple argument.

Sounds like you got the short end of the stick. I suppose that is why Martin Luther King Jr. advocated "no violence" I really admire MLK Jr.
I suggest you stay out of situations where you are going to be pegged as acting like a n-word. I know that it is unfair, but all minorities have to work twice as hard to prove themselves to the pricks who enjoy the comfort of being part of the majority

If you were put down, it's probably because you were on top, and the one that the officers felt posed the greater threat. If you went to jail, it's probably because no one corroborated your story.
The bigger question is why didn't your "white friend" stick up for you? You need to get better friends, regardless of color.

The comment from your friend's friend was racist and wrong
Your reaction to it was wrong as well.
The cop's reaction was wrong unless he saw you throw the first punch.
I don't know if it was profiling, but maybe.
Talking rationally would have been better all the way around.

Sure sounds like it was racial prejudice to me! Sad that it still exists to the degree that it does...

Didn't your mom teach you when you were a child that 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me'......

did you hit the racist guy? if you did, that is called assault.
why is this question in the LGBT section?
