One officer said to him, “Sir, you’ve got to understand, you two men are black and she’s white"

So recently an oklahoma mother sent her daughter to houston for dance lessons with a family friend who happens to be black, and on their way back to their hotel rooms at 3am they stopped to rest for a bit at a gas station and were eventually surrounded by police officers, put in handcuffs, and why, because they simply had a young white female with them. she was not on any missing list, they werent doing anything wrong, the man showed the officers all the documentation from landry’s mother that he was the temporary legal guardian, and when she pleaded for officers to talk to her mom, they declined initially. after finally talking to her mom, they let the 2 black males go, but then took her daughter to child protective services, and was saying she would have to come pick up her daughter. WOW

the cops even tried to say they were intoxicated, spreading lies on them for what. clearly they werent intoxicated, or they would have been arrested. white america, i know many of you know this, but this dat shit we be talkin about. i mean, a black man just cannot be legit to some of these fucks out here. i mean he even had the legal documentation on him just in case anything went down in a worst case scenario, and IT STILL DIDNT MEAN SHIT. the girl finally got the police to talk to her mother, AND IT STILL DIDNT MEAN SHIT.

thank god for technology and the internet helping to expose all this shit so many minorities have had to deal with for decades even post the civil rights movement. 2013 and what, every negative stereotype about black men is true. sure, your right.

slightly offtopic, but

this that type of shit that makes me want to not even watch sons of anarchy, just because that show reinforces that its fine if white people are doing it, even sexy, but let that show be about black or brown gangbangers and it would be shit on left and right for its messages, have all kinds of weekly racist comments about it online, and thats if it could even see the light of day. in this case, it would be fine if a couple young white guys in polos were taking a nap with a young white girl, but not if its a couple of black men.

I love this country. For all the wrong reasons.

damn I didn’t even know you could get temporary guardian forms like that. good on these dudes coverin every base. that quote is just psycho

4

(pulls out temporary guardian forms for @pherai) you ready to go to thailand?

5

The more you promote racism, the more legitimacy you give it.

I see this as a person being an asshole
and 2 people being the victim of that.

period.

6

Eh civil rights was barely 60 years ago and we still have the KKK wanting blacks to be slaves since the 1860s. It isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

turning a blind eye to obvious racial profiling and harassment, minimizing it to just a dude being an asshole, is definitely way worse then supposed promotion of racism as you call it. i love when people get uncomfortable about race, and it always divulges back to, why does this have to be about race, why cant he just be an asshole. uh, because its clear that it was about race, especially with the alleged comment by the officer saying, you two men are black and shes white, as if that means anything whatsoever to a non racist, prejudice mind.

i think the more we all have discussions on race, the more connected we can be, rather then just ignoring it like cowards to hopefully prevent in legitimizing it further. when the day comes that at least in america, racism is a foreign thought, and a long lost memory, then you can talk to me about trying to find stories to promote racism. until then, its good that people know that if you thought what you thought was cool, in houston texas, it aint, and probably a lot of other places. it may be 2013 for many of us, but for some its lala land 1952.

it would be one thing if this story was about 3 people in a car, 1 white, 2 black, they questioned them, were shown the documents, talked to the girls mom, told them to get some coffee and be safe getting back to their hotel, and i was in here like, OMGZ RACISM, WHY DID THEY EVEN HAVE TO QUESTION THEM, BLAH BLAH. but the story is not that.

its of officers almost immediately handcuffing these young men for no reason whatsoever (by their account), as if they actually did any crime at all (yes the girl was also handcuffed at one point when being taken away to cps i assume). then even after telling them what they are doing, where they are coming from, where they are going, documents that someone gave him legal guardianship, and talking to the girls mother on the phone to verify and answer questions (after denying to talk to the mother for some odd reason), they still hauled her off to cps, and for what. i bet most likely to show their disproval of the mother allowing their white daughter into the care of black men.

you think im promoting racism? HA! holy cow.

You dudes waving this off obviously are not of minority descent.
When law-abiding, upstanding citizens actively avoid certain sections of their own cities and can’t shop in certain stores without someone shadowing them like they just activated V-ism, or getting pulled over and harassed when they’ve broken no laws, there’s a problem…

…and that problem is not just someone being an asshole. There are plenty of “nice” racists who have no idea they are being so.

13years old tho, at 3am hmmmmmm. bit fishy

oh also, memorial park is a nice area, predominately white, mixed with some asian. mostly young professionals and college kids whos rich parents are paying rent. i dont live to far from that area in another nice area. to see black people around there isnt rare or anything, i mean this is houston, but in case anyone wondered where they were, memorial park is a generally nice area of mostly young professionals.

Piece of shit cops.

even if you want to say that racism ended with the passage of the civil rights bill (it didn’t, case in point george bush almost forgot to sign a piece of paper guaranteeing my rights of suffrage for another 30 years), these past 50 years have nothing on the previous 300 (and change) where our social, political and economic climate was predicated largely by race.

the horrors that you watch on tv or read about in social studies class about the dogs and the ‘civil rights movement’ is not ancient history…it is living memory. it took generations (centuries, really) to establish that sense of entitlement (white privilege), fear, exploitation and victimization (non-whites—and yes, for the majority of our history it has been almost that simple) in our society and its widespread effect is both blunt (as in this case) and subtle.

“Sir, you have to understand, Im from the 1950’s.”

18

Oh, sure act like victims…act like its profiling, act like you think they aren’t going to ruin her butthole.
We all know how this ends.

I’m Mexican. I guess we will see whites stop hating blacks, in another 200 years.
