Yeah that's where I think ego partly comes in, some people could change a little and they wouldn't be so heavily stereotyped. I don't dress or like like a police profile/stereotype so I don't get stopped, but some people don't have that option where they just stereotype you very basically.

Same experience.

Agreed. As a teenager I dressed fairly punky, but most of my style was to compensate for the fact that we had no money and everything I wore came from the thrift store or had holes in it anyway, so I just got creative. It got fairly involved and I would end up putting several hours into each piece of my clothing, adding patches and tailoring it, but moms would pull their children close to them when I walked into their line of sight. On the odd side, old women loved me. I think because their generation understands how much effort that much sewing really takes.

The fact that she would equate a well dressed, suit and tie wearing black man with either of those stereotypes is disgusting.

And maybe the black man "looks like an angry mean motherfucker" because he is discriminated against like this on a daily basis.

lol

It doesnt matter what you wear, people have this fear instilled.


I was goin in for an interview and the interviewer was in the same elevator as me, she doesnt kno im the interviewee. So we both get on the elevator. I get in first, she gets in after. So im standing behind her and shes clutching her purse. I reach over to press the elevator button and she jumped and freaked out a lil bit. She didnt think I noticed, but I saw in my peripheral vision. fast foward. I get called in the office for the interview. And she had a look on her face, as if she wanted to say sorry for something.

Shits disgusting.

He obviously is a criminal. No one would buy a suit like that.

including xenophobia in with racism, especially when its a male black and a female white, is almost as bad as including sexual assault in with rape.

almost.

stereotyping when prosecution/persecution is not involved is simply risk management, and if you dont do it yourself, you arent long for this world.

There is a second part of this vido that show the contents of her purse...

a #4 from Kentuck Fried Chicken
2-20 dollar crack rocks
a free coupon for watermellon
and 4 packets of grape Kool-Aid

I believe she was justified she was just protecting her shit.

Shiiiiiiiit. As a white woman, she should know that carrying every black man's 3 favorite things automatically qualifies her for a good ol' down home rapin'.

I've changed my mind, now I think she just wanted some black dick in her life. Maybe it was her first time so that's why she looked so nervous.

Whadda whore.
