I will say this:
probably people getting stopped by cops due to race happens more often than I realize. But probably lest often than people on the other side care to admit. Do you think it never happens that a minor is stopped by cop and thinks it is because of the color of his skin when in reality it is due to something else(like violating the law)?
You place too much faith in the police system.
some place too little. They act like it is run by the KKK.
Some police officers will often over-eseclate a situation for a minor violation.
It might happen. And I agree once is too many. But certainly not all officers are like that. We also have to consider that sometimes they may have good reasons to take actions we don’t understand, because we don’t have their training and experience.
Sometimes “looking suspicious” (such as wearing a hoodie) could be reason for a police officer to stop you.
There might be circumstances where it is the right thing to do. Sometimes people might be wearing hoodies to conceal their identity.
I still resent and am offended by Frink’s treatment of me and attitude towards me due to my skin color. It is not right.
Yes, and black people used to get lynched.
two wrongs don’t make a right. (to be clear, I am not saying that what Frink is doing is in any way as bad as lynching someone)
It also won’t help minorities.
Source?
How about you quote me a source where it says treating me like shit and giving my attitude is going to help minorities.
I think it is ridiculous that I get flak for daring to state an opinion while white. It is probably also one of those logical fallacies. I pretty sure refuting an argument by attacking the skin color of the opinion holder, is not logical valid.
You don’t get flak just because you are white. You get flak because your opinions are wrong.
No, I get flak for being white. Do you think Frink would give me the same flak if I were black and still held the same exact opinions? You know he wouldn’t.
