dude you have some warped figures. i've been a marine for 7 years and thats def not the case. either way it's a 100% un biased and predjudice free enviroment. minority has nothing to do with it. he's just saying that if you absolutley are doing everything you can to better yourself and it's not working out...a four year stint in the military is a giant boost that sets you up for future success.

Your first comment about your new car. Cops pay attention to all people who look 16. It's a cops job to enforce the law. A new driver is more likely to not be following the law. I got pulled over more often when I was 16 than I do now and I have the same driving habits now. Is this yours comment: if you are 16-18 it's very probably you don't own a car yet. Proof of ownership comment: they ask for registration everytime you get pulled over. How is this remotely racist. Buy nice ass watches: did you walk in there looking like a bum? I've been asked when new car shopping if I can afford their cars and I simply state I wouldn't be looking if I couldn't. Easy as that. No lay away: if you aren't a broke ass what do you need layaway for. Seems that guy selling watches read you well. And I'm glad you quoted kanye west. As if he isn't the staple of uneducated people making money. Don't quote him like he's anybody worth hearing speak. |

Badass concession Quote:
Obviously black people are going to face struggles as have always. I just don't like the way its made out to be as hopeless and neverending as it is. There are choices that are made that perpetuate this just as much as historic events. History stands, I get that a people were bred, but to present the fact as anything other than a trivial fact is detrimental. How is anyone ever supposed to have any self worth when they think that way. The thought that one is a product of unfavorable breeding and the thought that one will be something of value to society one day don't exactly go hand in hand. I can't pretend to know what it's like to be another race but I know if I thought like that it would negatively effect my self image. I hope I live to see the end of the race issue. I've seen racism down in my mind and seen it dwindle in my family and friends. I hope to see some return though. To go back to the original post of the video. He got his kid back because he knew the law. Had he pushed a race issue instead of a procedural one I don't see it ending the same. |

I'm not going to goninto everything. From your responses you along with other people still don't see where I was coming from with some of the situations. I was 24 and and E-5 in the military when buying my first car! Still at 28 with a wife and kid. My car at first glance isn't mines! When does a cop ask for liscense registration? Cop: hey is this your car Me: yes sir Cop: let me see the registration and some ID Me: Roger that Lmao funny every time it happen, sad that half the time I've never gotten a ticket, and I have gotten many tickets. I don't wear long t-shirts or baggy pants! These nice watches or 6-800 nothing super expensive! Why the need to state that there is no payment plan or lay away to me. Happen many of times! That's what I'm trying to point out with that kanye west line. You clearly couldn't grasp. It means even though I am an upper middle class African American. It doesn't mean shit. Do you understand now? I wish that at the end of life when we all at the gates I along with others playback moments in 1080p HD from every angle imaginable. So that you non colored folks get the picture! Cause these damn words do nothing! |

Are you a troll or just stupid? You sit there saying the most ignorant crap that is deeply insulting and then bounce on the subject when you have no reply. Then you try to slyly work it from another angle that you think can make you sound like a smart level headed person.

Nice to see every thread on Zilvia where there is a black guy and a white guy turn into some sort of debate.
What you fail to realize is you were both arguing from two totally different topics of conversation, and never really tried to see where the other was coming from. Now while I do agree that some groups have priorities set in the wrong place, and that is why they're in the situation they're in, I also agree that there are some prejudices that some people have to overcome regardless of their skin color. The only thing we can do to overcome stereotypes is to not act/be them. You may not be a stereotype but the average person WILL be. Stereotypes exist for a reason, regardless of weather or not they're right or wrong. Adversely challenge someone that would press a stereotype upon you, and change their mind. Becoming open minded doesn't just happen, it takes opportunity and experience. For every time there was a cop that pulled you over for profiling you, I'm sure you blew his socks off, right? He probably ended up letting you go because you were SUCH a model citizen, I'm sure. Because you weren't perpetuating any sort of stereotype and he had no reason to assume you weren't some car thief, or some asshole with a chip on his shoulder. Cops do have a stressful job, and they're not sure how you're going to react. But I'm sure they can guess based on dealing with people of similar skin color/type/race or whatever it may be. (After all them pulling you over isn't already putting you in a bad mood.) Regardless of how you feel it is a confrontation between Johnny Law and Mr. ideal Zilvian. Instead of always being on the side of the victim, think about how the cop feels when he pulls you over, and why he might have some hostility towards you. Does he know you're unarmed because you drive a BMW, Benz, or 240SX? Would it be safe to assume not? All I'm saying is, if you guys are going to have an argument, before hottily replying to one another, take into account what they're really saying and why they might be saying it so that you can have a discussion rather than an argument.

Im black american, dominican and venezuelan
but people assume Im black and white. So I would say the three major "black" contributers in this thread probably have the most equal view of both sides. And while I may not be able to completely put myself in a cops shoes. Im sure that they have already made assumptions about me in order to decide to pull me over. That is the inherent problem with this argument.

It's not a big deal. When you start identifying more often than not the bullshit cops have to put up with from our "stereotypes" the more you start to identify with them. You can't change how the cop's attitude when he enters the interaction you two are about to have, but you can change the way he thinks about you afterwards. Think about that. Some people are way too reactionary.

The cause is one of those things he was talking about.
Something you cannot change. It is something you must accept. The only thing you have the ability to do is be an example for other people, and use that ability to try to influence others.

Agreed.
Which all of the "black people' in this thread have said they try to do. Unfortunately that is hardly the sentiment of the masses. As you know.

I have had enough positive African American role models in my life to know how to act, and seen enough negatively conceived African Americans to know how not to act.
Also, often I have been told that I'm not black at all, but that's because the generalization of the African American male is to speak incorrectly, be inconsiderate, and be perceived as someone of low intelligence. I don't talk much to people I don't know. But then again, I look Filipino to a lot of people that aren't racially aware.
