I entirely agree as well. It still baffles me to why some perceive that to be racist. I am not prejudice, I stay to myself and go about my business but for others they still find you as a target.
hmmmm

to quote you "just like you people say "

Don't you think that comment is a bit racist and inflammatory? How would you have reacted if I said the same to you? You can't have it both ways. You are not special because of the color or your skin. I hate racist comments as much as you do, but you seem to have found it necessary to lump me into a group called "you people", which I am sure meant "white people". Speaking of which, how do you know the color of my skin?

Racist? Are you serious? I don't care what you think. You know the people who constantly accuse you of being something you're not are that themselves. Guilty conscience maybe?

my fault i did not mean it to sound that way. what i ment was "you people" as in racist NOT " you people " as in white people. not all white people a racist, i should know i'm married to one, just like not all black people smoke crack, or ware the pants down to their ankles.

In this day and age in NYC, you have to be an idiot to do this. The cops should get a reprimand and that's it. There are bigger problems in NYC.
And the typical outrage by the black community continues to be hypocritical. These are the people who weren't outraged when Jesse Jackson says he wants to cut the nuts off of Barack Obama. Course they weren't outraged when Jackson also says he spits in white people's food, called NYC Hymietown, or fathered a child out of wedlock (a rite of passage for black Americans).
What nonsense.
Pick one: a. hypocritical
b. hypercritical

Hypocritical. The black community is broken. They **** and moan about some nonsense like this, yet continue to let their own neighborhoods self destruct. They stand behind Jackosn, Sharpton, barron, Muhammed, etc as leaders, when EVERY ONE of those leaders are bigger rwacists then the ones they supposedly go after! Sharpton has the nerve to go after Imus for the "Napp headed Hoes" comment, yet this is the man who calls Jews "diamond merchants" and "interlopers". This is the man responsible for the murder at Freddie's Fashion MArt! Jackson has a kid out of wedlock, ADMITS to spitting in the food of white homeless men, calls NYC "Hymietown", and says he'd like to cut the **** the Democratic presidential nominee! Guess the secret service won't invetsigate that one, though. Don't wanna be called racist, now do they?

The black "leaders" get a pass and nobody bats an eye, period. And if Obama is counting on the black vote to win, he'd better have anothetr trick up his sleeve. Blacks are less then 25% of this country, and countiong the ones who are registered to vote, are not barred from voting due to felony records, he'd better get more support.

If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

<quoted text>Thanks, for some reason I thought it was a racial slur I didn't know thanks for explaining. Yeah I for one do not live in the past and never said anything about it.

Amen!
For Black people, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't
If a Black person isn't working, they're automatically relegated to welfare status. If a Black person makes the right decisions (as many do), goes to college, graduates, and gets a job, it's because of "preferential treatment." When problems aren't being addressed from within the community, they're berated. If the community offers suggestions such as midnite basketball, community policing, or a revamping of the educational system, it's dismissed as "liberal programs" and/or the b **** hing and moaning over tax dollars being paid for it surface. If the problems from within the community were to dramatically decline, there would still be something wrong. It all boils down to a buried deep psychological fear given the history that is loosely known but preferred not to be discussed: Fear of being put in the position of only being counted as 3/5 of a human being, Rosewood, Tulsa, Abner Louima, etc. Most Black people do not get up in the morning and say "Oh God will I be followed by the police, or who will discriminate against me today?" It's real simple---if you don't want Black folks to talk about being Black---stop reminding them. Don't let them sign a lease for a condo, give them a welcome basket, renege on the deal, and then have the nerve to get pissed when they decide to sue your ****(this happened to a friend of mine and his wife-he worked for a Fortune 500 company at the time, and she was in the Army)

I also forgot to add Chief Douglas Ziegler to the part about reminding black people.

FYI, I don't know what happened in this specific situation with the doll head, so I won't pass judgement. I'm sure the survellance cameras will solve what really happened. From what I understand these officers were coming from a Community basketball game or a charity event and were not of the same ilk as Volpe and Livoti, so something is very off about this situation.

Very true. I try to kill people with kindness but try not to be naive at the same time. I don't want to befriend a racist by mistake. I don't want them to see me as an easy prey or target. My eyes are wide open and I actually look around me unlike some people who are still sheltered. The people who think as long as I kiss @ss everything will be ok have no clue. So you're correct as black people it seems like no matter what we do, it still comes back to bite us in the @ss from your examples and it's really unfortunate.

Question? If I am riding in my car, can I not see a doll head on my antennae right in front of my eyes? How long was the doll head hanging from the antennae before it was discovered and who discovered it? Most cops can see an expired registration from across the street, or see a gun from a block away, and cannot see a black doll head hanging right in front of their face. If you believe that one then I have a bridge to sell you in Iraq, right next to the oil field.
