Rock is a deeply socially observant man who I have much time for. Many black entertainers spew junk but CR is one of the better ones.

Very clever approach.

Chris Rock is just doing this to make himself relevant, because otherwise he isn't.
This little "project" is all on purpose. He probably purposefully runs stop signs or goes over the limit to get pulled over and then he takes his phone out and goes "See!!!! The cops are racist!!"..... so he can keep himself relevant and in the spot light.

Hey Chris Rock, newsflash, u little slimey creature, no one cares about u anymore. I dont care if u got pulled over and thrown in jail for life to be honest.

I'll continue sipping my starbucks lattes cruising down the road with my Marc Jacobs sunglasses not worrying about being pulled over.

Most of light skinned America has very little experience with being stopped by the police, but by age ten most of dark skinned America is quite experienced with being stopped and harassed by the police for no valid reason.
I think it has more to do with perception. People tune into the evening news or watch the latest news clips online about "black crime," and begin to believe that all blacks are the same. This inturn has a direct impact on how black people are treated, and how the police perceive certain groups.

Ultimately, more positive portrayals of black life should be featured in the media. This will allow society as a whole to stop stereotyping and criminalizing blacks.

That occupy ?
Do you mean those people given lawful orders to disperse ...or police departments everywhere showing incredible restraint when faced with occupy idiots throwing urine.. fake blood ...animal blood ...garbage and bags of crap.. then putting video cameras in the faces of law enforcement hoping for a response
You mean that occupy?

Not that this has anything to do with this thread... but..that doesn't matter... you are heard
And so... while we had some agreement about what is happenjng to our country it apparently stopped there with a close .minded agenda driven liberal

Is Occupy what you've done to improve our country? And if so what does that have to do with Chris Rock getting stopped by police ... and what he may or may not have done to justify it...
None of what you've mentioned above is as bad or as criminal as what the Wall Street crooks and banksters did to the American people, homeowners, etc. Get your priorities straight, mister. Why don't police officers have their own movement and insist to their handlers on going after the real crooks in this country? What is your answer to this? I completely support what Chris Rock is doing to bring profiling to light.

My answer... start your own thread on the topic you choose to discuss and I'll be happy to discourse with you

It doesn't matter what I think, nor your ad hominem attack of me, I just want to know more about the other stops. Why is that so difficult to get? Should I start passing judgment on you now?
