Wrong crowd dhook to try and sway.....

That being said as a black person there is plenty wrong with my own race that hurts our argument instead of helps, but you are correct in the context of white privilege.

What all of this really boils down to is the view that most blacks especially in the inner city are viewed as threatening even if they aren't showing any threating behavior. We are assumed to be doing something criminal (see any of clw posts where he assumes the cops are correct even before anything else is released ) and unless you are black you don't get that, but it circles back to black people hurting our arguments more than helping it.

And then people expect us to trust a system where we are guilty until proven otherwise and all the old are stacked against us....

FYI don't argue with smooth he generally hates everyone so don't take it personal . ....lol

Hey now, I don't hate everyone. I don't hate you oweb. I don't hate mors. I don't hate Jeff, or G, or CDJ, or JB, or snoop, or Eric, or steeler. I can go on and on.

Is there profiling against black people by police? Yes. Do black people probably get more basic scrutiny from cops than a random white person will or would? Yes. Is a 6'4", 300 pound black guy going to be viewed as more threatening than a 6'1" 180 pound white guy by a single lone cop? Probably. Will there be biases by cops against blacks? In areas where blacks commit the majority of crimes, of course they are going to be profiled and the police will be more biased against them. Same thing if a largely white area has the majority of crimes committed by whites, guess what? White people will be profiled. It all has to do with demographics of those who live there and those who commit the amount of crimes in that area.

It really all boils down to a couple of basic don'ts. Don't commit crimes. Don't act threateningly or menacingly towards police, don't attack or try to challenge police because you have a "fuck the popo" and black oppression chip on your shoulder. In general, don't act like a lawless douchebag and you won't have any problems with the police.
