What do you mean 'he didn't belong' girl let me tell you something.....blacks belong anywhere any body else belongs.....black people can live wherever they want.....in Houston or any place....that is NO excuss!!! What you say in your post supports my claim of racial profiling......stopping a black kid in a white area of town because he dosen't look like he belongs is called what?

I think she meant what the cop was thinking.

That is racism. Barack Obama is upper class. So here we go here comes the racist backlash against Obama from sorry I didnt know it's ignorant of me I thought I didnt have to think.

Your right. But I pretty much guarantee that he is one of the only black people in his neighborhood.

Also there's only 12% of blacks in America and only 15% percent of that 12% are upper class. So the stats speak for themselves.

Does it really matter? When it comes down to it, everyone's born, and everyone dies.

I believe the potential to suffer that occurs between the two events makes it matter very much. bybee

i read it and its awful.. but.. if the kid had been white-would you say it was racist behaviour.. nope because it dosent enter heads where white ppl are concerned.. i think alot of people are very quick 2 jump on the whole racist wagon.. judgement cant be made until u have all the facts.. for now i reckon its bein put forward in the papers as racism... but at the end of the day the police officer is in the wrong but wait and c his reasons 4 assuming the car was stolen!!

shocking story, but im afraid it happens everywhere, we had a brazilian shot on the tube in the uk, he too was innocent of any crime.

And why did he keep running from the police? Fear, panic.....whatever it cost him his life! What a waste, why didn't he just stop and find out why armed police were chasing him? He was innocent and still ran.

Well said.

The man died for no reason.
It wasn't his fault.

ahh just stop repeating yourself. They shouldn't get the respect if they aren't going to go through the thread and read all of the arguments or else you'll just keep going around in circles. So Spinkiegirl, don't waste your energy on people like that.

You know what...I do agree with you.....

This was directed towards me, right? I ask because you quoted 2 different people in that post, and then quoted me and someone else in the post after that too (not that I've never made a mistake like that).
