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.
