Why is it so hard for us to get past race? It's a shame in 2011 that we can't accept that there a good Blacks and Whites; Bad Blacks and Whites. Throughout history (and in 2011) we've never fully accepted that fact. As a white male, I will NEVER, nor try to understand what and how a black man in America is treated, and stereotyped. I have friends who are black and go through the same Racial profiling crap CJ28 went through. I think (at least in my lifetime) racial issues will still continue to be part of America. Sad, but True

I agree with this post! There is going to be racism on ALL sides of the racial spectrum. It's never going to change. There is also going to be elitism amongst the population as well. And profiling, whether if it is racial or by class, will continue to be exercised in this country whether if we like it or not. I often find it to be true that "poor" people are often given the same treatment as minorities. I don't care the degree, selling dope can be a reality in a rich neighborhood as it is in a poor. I actually happen to know this by fact.

I think Chris was right about the "suspicion" of drugs being moved in and out of his condo, but sometimes athletes really need to stop this "their out to get me crap"

Johnson also tweeted "I should have gave them some doughnuts"

This is something that only Blacks guys will understand. I remember Will Smith gave an interview a few years back where he stated that he still gets pulled over in L.A especially if he's driving one his luxurious sports cars. He said once the Cops realize it's him, they become extra freindly and ask for an autograph for the kids, and let him on his way. Now, there's some who will fabricate the entire situation and blame everything on them being Black.

I remember I use to commute with my boss to work(A Black man), on somedays he would take his old beat up Toyota Truck because the thing was an uber gas saver. His normal vehicle was a newer Escalade. However, I remember 3 seperate occasions where he was pulled over for no reason. Actually there were, one time the offier said it because the liscence plate light was to dim, the other one was he was swerving in and out of the lines(which he wasn't), and the third time they pulled him over because he left his gas door open?

I was completely mortified that this was happening, I was thinking to myself this is what Black guys talk about when they get harrassed for no reason. Lord knows what could of happened If I wasn't there. I've seen this happen myself, however like I said, I've seen people cry wolf, when they were guilty as all hell too.

Sorry but young blacks also bring some of that stuff on themself. Just look at MTV and thats how they make out the dealers in their videos. Then you have profiling by the cops which is also to blame. To blame one side is not fair.

It's not even "Music Videos" anymore it's all "Reality TV."

Sure any race could have called it in, but to say that a cop is judging CJ because he is black is ignorant. Stereotypes are everywhere. It's great to think otherwise.
