Times you were mistreated because of your, cough, skin color?

[Leo123]

Got busted by FBI when I was younger because they thought me and my roomies broke into a 7-11 that was nearby. When they found nothing, they planted marijuana in a pipe nobody owned and threatened to 'come back and arrest' us. Never happened.

 

[Pogo]

I was in a High School Band, and was the only student not allowed to attend a trip to play in a POUS inauguration. It had nothing to do with my attitude (cough!).

I was in Boy's Choir. They told my mother to come get me in the middle of the night. Technically I didn't do anything wrong.

I was arrested for marijuana possession in High School, because they searched me under false pretenses, and behold, I don't have a key to the school, but I sure have some killer weed man.

I was 86'd from working at a hotel, where I was working as a Bus Boy. To this day I don't know why. Must have been racial discrimination.

I was constantly kicked out of classes, was suspended many times, and expelled.

I was threatened by a cop. He was my neighbor, and his house was burglarized (not by me). He said he'd shoot me if I was caught in his house.

I was nearly arrested for attempted murder. I was toying with a friend and drove my car toward him. Neighbor up the street called the cops.

I was accused of shooting out a window.

I was acting manager, and for the first time, we were awarded the best overall store in the district. They didn't hire me for manager.

I was by far the best and most capable business analyst. They wouldn't even consider me for a supervisor position, despite being independent, a self-starter and highly effective.

I was a Correctional Officer for a stint. They called me into the office and advised me to never to bring drugs into their institution.

I was turned down for one of 13 insurance adjuster positions under State government. Matter of fact, I was ranked 6th on the list. They hired one through five and seven through 14. I was number one on many lists for the same place, and passed over every time.

I've been pulled over many times by the police.


Just a few instances I've experienced during my life under the oppression of a country built for the white man . Only problem is I'm white male. If I were black, I could use every one of these instances to declare "white man keeping the black man down", discrimination, etc. etc. But you know, "you don't know what it's like to live as a black man". Cry me a river, I call BS.

You should flesh this out and do a book tour. "Confessions of a fuckup". Maybe they'll make it into a movie.

Let's see, I was apprehended for murder, pulled over more times than I can count, illegally searched, and threatened with guns for the crime of walking home. But that was all cop culture. Can't say I have the same checkered history of expulsions and threats and warnings from non-cop cultures but it just might be you need to examine how that pattern fed itself.

Not sure I even want to read the answer to this but what do we mean by "technically"?

I always took you for a murderer

So did those cops.

I was a certified cereal killer before that pretender on this site was old enough to write.

What did the Cereal do?

Snap, Crackle and Pop?

It sat in the milk.
"That's what youse can do, youse can sit in the milk!!"

Hey, you got a free pipe outta the deal.

[Blackrook]

My ex-wife was once a student at a mostly black school, and she was only part of a tiny minority that was white. She and the other white kids were forced to the back of the line at the cafeteria.

I was a kid, and some black kid told me that the park was only for black kids. That was my first encounter with racism. I think I was five-years-old.

 

[Pogo]

I was mistreated because of my cough once. but then again I has pneumonia and was hacking up a lung at the drug store

I just read the title closely and now I get it.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

In 2nd grade I was one of four blacks students. The teacher had us assigned to seats in the back of the room. They only changed it when one of the moms complained .

Oh, this was catholic school and the teacher was a nun.

Wait. You're fucking black now? I bet you're as black as Lakota is indian.

 

[MaryL]

Blacks yell wolf too many times. Racism is a real thing, but so is faux racism. I have seen it There was no confederate flag flown at the basketball game at the Manual (My old high school) and Weld HS high rebels. I have seen this before, they fantasize racism and hate and project on others and neglect to look deep into themselves. A common trope.

 

[MaryL]

I was threatened to be killed, or then slapped, then beaten because I was white on different occasions. By blacks or Hispanics. Um, I always resented THAT because race or sex isn't an issue. It is. Blacks AND HISPANICS ARE MAKING IT so.

Unarmed People of Color Killed by Police, 1999-2014

"I was selling cigarettes on a street in New York, the police tackled me and started choking me. I was unarmed. I said 'I can't breath but they ignored me and killed me. For selling cigarettes." - Eric Garner -

Officer Daniel Pantaleo placed Garner in a chokehold. Garner died of neck compression from the chokehold along with "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police." Aftermath: The New York City medical examiner ruled Garner's death a homicide. Pantaleo was not indicted.

It's Democrat's fault that a man otherwise obeying the law gets arrested for selling cigarettes.

lol! Thanks for providing an example of white privilege .

You did all that shit as a youth , yet you were able to become a corrections officer? Cause white kids get protected , while black kids get a rap sheet that follows them for life .

Oh sure, that's it. Foolish statement as usual Timmy. I was arrested for pot when I was 17, so it's not public record. Take another angle for your reach into the depths of racism. Everything is racist now, and incidentally, Dr. Seuss has been declared racist by your following. You might change your avatar for a hint of consistency.

BTW race-breather, I'm where I am because I work hard. Skin color hasn't a fuck to do with it.

Why don't you speak for yourself? I have seen black perpetrators commit horrendous crimes(that for all the world look like racist hate crimes) that are swept under the rug. So let's don't dilly daly. What have YOU experienced?

You choose to ignore factual cases where people died. Why would anyone believe you would have any other reaction to any other case? Go play.

Pretty amazing that the same people who tell you that you cannot understand their "journey" because you are not black are fully capable of telling you what your life experience is, even though they are not white. Double standard? What do you think?

 

[gallantwarrior]

I get mistreated on a daily basis because of my skin tone. The looks, the comments (some louder than others), the people who walk rapidly away....

When they see my full facial birthmark.

What do you do? Who are you clients? I work with all kinds of people, Samoans, Indonesians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Colombians, Mexicans, Bolivians, Venezuelans, Iranians, Afghanians, and many others. I do not get mistreated because of my skin tone, nor do I mistreat anyone else, for any reason. There are assholes of all types, them I treat cordially, but I don't mistreat them. As a result, I am not mistreated by others. I am usually greeted nicely and some even exchange normal conversation with me.
Sometimes, when everyone else seems to be the problem, perhaps you should take a long, hard look in your mirror.

One incident becomes an entire racist crusade? Really? There are many more cases that are justified, but those aren't touted as "factual evidence" of racism. C'mon, got any more?
