Ok my history teacher said yesterday or 2 days ago that the police were stopping black/hispanic people while driving through the turnpike to check if they had any drugs/alcohol in it..only black/hispanic people..why? just because a person has dark skin color dosent mean they are the ones who uses drugs and alchols..are the police idiots? theres like people who use drugs or drink alcohol like all over the world..no matter wat your skin color is..im not saying they cant use drugs or drink..idc if they do..its their choices but what it drives me crazy is that why the police was just stopping black/hispanic people to check if they had any drugs or alcohol in it..why not whites? why not asians? Do you think this is fair? I really feel bad for all those black people who got stopped..they should've gotten pissed seriously. damn.

I've heard tons of stories from friends (the majority of my friends are black males) about how they get pulled over for no apparent reason. They say that their not even speeding or anything.
One time I was in a car with 4 of my friends (again, all black males) after leaving a club in DC and a police car followed us for about half an hour before it sped away. It's not like there weren't other cars around. "Coincidentally" he just chose the car with black folks inside to follow around, right? And trust me, it's not a coincidence. It's very common for a black person in DC or Maryland to get pulled over for no reason. I don't have a single black friend who hasn't been pulled over once for no reason and it's not like they're wreckless or bad drivers. To a lot of my friends, they don't even take it by surprise. It's just a "reality" to them.
