There's plenty of evidence if you care to take your head out of your ass long enough to see it. Statistics show clearly that blacks and Hispanics drivers fare worse than whites. Hell, just look at Florence v. Burlington, a black man getting pulled over so often he carries a letter explaining his situation and still he get jailed while being innocent.
When you have a composite of several years worth of assaults on cops *as an example* M/B/17-22, 5.8". 140 lbs, wearing xxxx jeans, xxxx shirt and felony flyers.
Profiling becomes a *taught subject*
Tyler Perry Pulled Over, Accuses White Cops of Racial Profiling via Facebook | Reuters
Despite the fact that he broke the law by making an illegal left turn from the far right lane and having his passenger side windows tinted, Tyler Perry still squeals racial profiling when the cops pull him over. Hint for you Tyler, you got stopped because you broke the law, not because you are black
The cops claim that is the case. Have you inspected the car? Do you hear the conversation between the cops and Perry?
Still don't get it do you?
.... who cares? Does Oscar make a thread every time Paris Hilton gets pulled over for a DUI?
Tyler Perry complaining about "racial profiling"? That's rich, coming from a guy who has made millions by portraying black people as characatures and buffoons on television and in movies.

More black motorists pulled over, according to HPD study
Black, Hispanic drivers stopped more often in Illinois, study finds
Minorities getting pulled over, searched, arrested at increasing rate
Do you have proof that black people break traffic laws more than other racial groups or is this just another one your snipes at black Americans? And btw, more arrests is not evidence of breaking more laws.The idea they're pulled over more has nothing to do with they break traffic laws more? No. It couldn't be that.
Oh, there's a black guy. I think I'll pull him over. Give me a break!
And btw, more arrests is not evidence of breaking more laws.
No, I'm saying that people don't have to prove something to you to both have their own opinion or have an accurate take on a situation.So you are essentially saying that it is okay to assume a police officer was racially profiling with absolutely no reason to back it up. And this is being taught as acceptable? Thats ****ing ignorant.
Maybe you should just stop caring so much about other people expressing their opinions. It seems like it's distressing you an awful lot.Would be better than the current trend.
"Man, maybe he is racist just because, i mean.. you are black after all...... that makes him racist!"
The way we've been handling these bull**** accusations only adds fuel to the fire.
No, I don't support anybody's decision to let actual or perceived prejudice prevent them from taking responsibility for what they can control. It's unfortunate, though, that you felt the need to distort my argument in such a manner though rather than have an honest discussion about what I actually said.So, as I thought.... you have no desire to fix such a crutch in the black community.
The crutch being, blindly blaming all their problems on racism and living out their lives in that manner.
Nobody forced you to do it. It seems like you have a bit of a victim complex if you blame your own choice to ad a disclaimer on "having to do it" because of other people.DISCLAIMER: I am not stating that all blacks do this. (the fact I have to add this is pathetic).
So if you don't have any evidence, then why would you say that blacks break more traffic laws as a fact and not a mere opinion?And neither is it evidence that they're not. And neither is it evidence that racial profiling is involved.
I don't snipe at African Americans. You just can't accept a rational mind, can you?
So if you don't have any evidence, then why would you say that blacks break more traffic laws as a fact and not a mere opinion?
What are you basing this on?
(And yes, making negative generalizations about entire race is a snipe.)
The idea they're pulled over more has nothing to do with they break traffic laws more? No. It couldn't be that.
Oh, there's a black guy. I think I'll pull him over. Give me a break!
What's the matter with you, Caine??? If a guy thinks he's been racially profiled, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Perception is reality. What don't you get about that???
Yes preception can be reality to that person. It does matter if its true or not. When it gets in the press, can it not lead to unjustly created tension between LEO and the community. To me when someone plays the profile card and it is not true, it shows that persons bias towards the one they are accusing.
I was using sarcasm, Mike.
There are lots of people in this world who use the system to make other people's lives miserable. Accuse a LEO of profiling to his CO? You've just created tons of paperwork for that offficer; a letter in his personnel file; an investigation. Whether it's true or not, it becomes a part of that officer's permanent file. Some people just love doing that. It makes them feel powerful.
Of course it matters whether or not it's true. That's the only thing that matters.
You said, "The idea they're pulled over more has nothing to do with they break traffic laws more? No. It couldn't be that."You continue to distort other people's words, parse their sentences and semanticize their posts into absolute oblivion. Is that your hobby?
I said:
With your consistent massacre of meanings within the English language, I don't know how the hell you can be a writer...
But nobody said that.What's the matter with you, Caine??? If a guy thinks he's been racially profiled, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Perception is reality. What don't you get about that???
You said, "The idea they're pulled over more has nothing to do with they break traffic laws more? No. It couldn't be that."
"They break traffic laws more" is an unsubstantiated generalization. Can you please substantiate that generalization?
But nobody said that.
Why do you think that people need to legitimize their claims by reporting to you? I don't understand that sentiment. As far as racial profiling goes, it's nearly impossible to prove objectively. Consequently, neither you nor I KNOW if someone is racial profiling. Therefore, if you say, "He's not profiling" and I say, "Yes, he is," we both are giving OPINIONS. You're arguing that your OPINION is better than other peoples' OPINIONS and that people should prove their opinions to you. That doesn't make any sense.Again, there needs to be evidence other than a preconceived feeling that someone is a racist with no basis.
Guy: Man, that mother ****er is racist, that is why he didn't hire me.
Questioner: How are you sure it is racism?
Guy: He JUST IS.
Questioner: WTF?
No, MaggieD is passive aggressively distorting people's arguments and I'm just letting her know.Are refering to Perry? If so according to the OP link
"The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling."
So how does Perry go about accusing racial profiling without saying it?
That is what you said. I quoted you and now you're backtracking and insulting me because I asked you a question. That's unnecessary.Jesus H. Christ. It's a question, for God's sake. For those slower at comprehension, allow me to translate: "Is it possible that the links provided that show more minorities being pulled over might be an indication that they break more traffic laws?"
You'd better hope I don't start parsing your words looking for confrontation, PlayDrive. I'll keep you entertained for days. :rofl
I did not say they broke more traffic laws. You're like a little gnat that got in through the screen, PlayDrive. I'm buyin' some Raid.

Touche. But I don't think people have to come to me to make their opinions legitimate. I might argue a lot, but at the end of the day, I know that people's opinions are founded by their experiences which is why though I can't imagine adopting a lot of conservative stances for myself, I understand that people have different experiences than me and therefore, those stances make sense to them in that context. This is why Caine's insistence that other people legitimize their opinions by reporting to him is so ridiculous to me.Your statement applies to about everthing that goes on DP. and that is my opinion.
So I agree, you make no sense :mrgreen:
Exactly my point. If only those involved know for sure, then it doesn't make sense to tell people what they have or have not experienced.as far as racial profiling, only those involved know for sure.
So if you don't have any evidence, then why would you say that blacks break more traffic laws as a fact and not a mere opinion?
What are you basing this on?
(And yes, making negative generalizations about entire race is a snipe. Also, there's nothing racial about making generalizations about races without evidence.)
