why is the police always after African Americans and Mexicans leave us alone dam!?

Answer 1

Because we are minorities and the police hate minorities, especially Mexicans. People are just trying to make some money on the side to feed their families and the police are always bothering us.

Answer 2

Because that is their mentality and that is why they always 'comit crimes'. I mean, if a African American man and a white man enter a store (or Mexican and white) who do you think they will look at to see what they are doing?? Obviously the Mexican and African-American. In the mean time other's can be doing the crimes and they're not going to get caught. It'll be really hard to change their mentality. People see what they WANT to see. They should leave us alone. I've never commited a crime and I shouldn't be baby-sat because of my nationality, I've never had to, and I have so much for me to just mess it all up.

Like the guy said above, that he can't control it, and he has to watch them. Don't you think that while he is watching them, other people can get away with doing other things?? And what if they do catch the other people?? Most likely they'll let them get away. Once again: People see what they WANT to see.



One more point!!
Look at the neighborhoods they get, and how we get the least money to fix them up, sometimes it is about survival. I know most people that haven't grown up in bad places wouldn't understand, and no, it isn't the people that make it bad. It does have to deal with the government too. How come they have money for wars but can't feed the poor? The criminals are products of the system. One song I recommend alot is 'Life of a Gangster' by Mr. Capone-e. I personally have never commited a crime because I know I came to this country for something better, but it is hard.

Answer 3

I definately agree with Pa0 on every point made. People do see what they WANT to see and notice WHO they WANT.
Non-minorities won't admit it but it's true. Also about the whole neighborhood idea. You go to a caucasian neighborhood and they get the most money to make their already good neighborhood even better. Go to a AfricanAmerican one and they don't care to do anything. I looked up the song and I loved it. Here were my favorite parts.

Dirty money just to pay the rent
Fu*k the president never gave a neighboorhood a cent
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
So we join gang now we're labeled hardcore
Forced to survive products of the system
Been in and out of jail and my cousin i miss him
It's that rough life so you got to earn your stripes
Its do or die just to survive

Answer 4

by saying leave us alone you are wanting permission to commit crimes get a job I am very poor white male and me and my family are struggling very hard to get by but I do it the legal way not the easy way may be just my upbringing or my Morales check whats in your heart and if you have to ask that question you are probably doing something illegal stop if all races stopped committing crimes except white people then I would be able to say the same. All you have to do is work hard and not be lazy and do the right thing not the easy thing

Answer 5

Hmmmm, I dunno, maybe it's because you cause more trouble. Did you know that the Mexican representative in my state actually had the nerve to make police men write down the person who was caught breaking the law's race? They did that so the Mexicans could sue the government if more hispanics were caught breaking the law than white people. It's ridiculous. If a white person breaks the law, they get punished. The same should go for Blacks and Mexicans. You have no reason to be excused from the law because of your race.

Answer 6

I agree with the original poster. Let's say proportionally African americans commit more crimes. They take up 12% of the population, and 46% of the prison population.

Whites take up 74% of the population and (gasp!) 46% of the prison population... 2/3 of African American males can expect to go to prison in their lifetime.

And you guys are telling me something isn't wrong here?

Answer 7

Police are after criminals. Could it be that, for whatever reason, there is a higher percentage of law breakers per "X" number of African- Americans than in most other races, therefore making it seem like the cops are always after them? I'm not saying this IS the case, but it could be.

Answer 8

Because of institutionalized racism. Mexican and African-American communities need community-based policing.

Answer 9

Because, Blacks and Mexicans are more likely to have some bad background or up to no good...Therefore, you get yourself a reputation, blame your brothas and sistas and amigos and senuritas!

You should come to Jersey, the NJ State Troopers love pulling you guys over, they are the most racist cops I ever met

Answer 10

Well, to me fairly to say .that , what race ur could be a part of the reason , but i do not think its the main factor of the reason... but except some exceptionals racism cases , in most of the times ur the 1 that created ur own reputations....and being judged, treated by how it. is..
