(6,991 posts)He's a white, rich male. I'm 5 years younger than he is, but unlike him IF a policeman pulls me over and we get into a conversation, the cop may think I'm looking at him funny or not replying to him correctly, he decides to tell me to get out of my car, I get scared then he pulls me out of the car and kills me because he CAN (I'm not very big, plus I'm Native-American & African-American). I'm nervous driving in the day time, let alone drive at NIGHT. Hell no. Driving while Native-American & African-American?
Hell, walking through a park, picking up garbage in front of your OWN home, mowing your OWN lawn can get you arrested/hand-cuffed and possibly worse while black now-a-days. He would never understand that, and certainly has never walked a mile in MY shoes.
Never say never, but I seriously DON'T think that he'd be treated in the same way I'd be treated and I'm a woman, but am multi-racial, and multi-racial and African-Americans are still being beaten up and some still being murdered by policemen
