[QUOTE]Originally posted by 9cobra7: [QB] Martinna- Quick story for you which takes place early 1990's. I transferred from a mostly white high school to very mixed race high school. This is where I learned rude awakenings and quick lessons on race which totally caught me off guard and changed me to this day. I left a wallet in my back pack and left the room for a brief period of time and came back to get something out of my back pack. Wallet is gone! The black guy who was next to me when this happened was a known individual who was not to be trusted. Immediately I suspected him and saw the outline of the wallet in his front pocket. He could sense I noticed what was going on and tried to leave the classroom when I confronted him. First I asked if "he'd seen my wallet" since it was just there a minute ago? He said "no". It escalated quickly and I went to go forcefully take it back and he said "you just accusing me cuz' I'm black mofo"! Right away all heads turned on me like I'm the bad guy amongst all the kids and the teacher. I said "no its because I can see the wallet right there in your front pocket" yelling back and went to reach for it again. He pushed me away and again said it was only "because he's black" again. Teacher told me to go down to the principle's office and talk to him meanwhile I knew the minute I left the class he would steal my money and dump the wallet. This is exactly what happened and the wallet was found at the end of class tucked into a corner with the money missing by a fellow classmate. That day would never be the same because I knew the race card was pulled on me and there was nothing I could do. If I punched the thug out I lose because he had gang ties and risked my health/life possibly, and I lost by the alternate which I had to go through. I don't see any alternatives to this problem especially with what you've talked about and the media's promotion of hatred in this country. You talk of all these problems with no solutions? One solution is don't lie about how the police only target "innocent" black people because many of these "innocent" black people aren't! They use the race card quite often and I can give you a couple more examples of people we've fired for being lousy employees but they say it's because they're black. Quite convenient of a reason I'd say. What you didn't see is the escalation that led up to the Castille shooting. Perhaps Castille right away told the officer you only pulled me over because we're black and then quickly escalated. We'll never know until we get a full length video of a shooting of a black person, but I don't think that will ever happen. You'll only see that white officers only shoot black people for absolutely no apparent reason I guess????? You want to know the lesson I learned??? I have to be very very VERY careful when any person of color is around me. Anything I say can be taken out of context and used against me. You can call it walking on egg shells, tip toeing, politically correct, scared, nervous or anything but I will never forget that day. Actually a sad story now that I put it out on a keyboard for the first time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
