"I know I would be pissed just because I am getting pulled over because I resemble a suspect the cops are looking for" The thing is, when white people are looking for a white suspect of a crime, they identify (for example) a heavyset 30-ish white male with short cropped brown hair, wearing a red tshirt and blue jeans. When they are looking for a black suspect, it's "a black male". This attitude is reflected by your own (probably well-intentioned) statement that people who live in a majority-black neighborhood all resemble each other. Take it from a (white) guy who has lived in some -- they don't. P.s. Video of LeVar Burton explaining how he talks to his son about what to do when you get pulled over: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/07/02/2245561/levar-bu.... This is what a bona fide, well-known and family-friendly celebrity has to deal with in ordinary life. |
