I'm making things up as I go along and am clearly way off base. The stuff I'm talking about only applies to an extremely small segment of Black America, not even notable or noticeable.

Maybe you'd like some YouTube vids or links to jog my point? There are plenty out there, and easy to find. But, you might dismiss those too.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that this side chat has gotten away from the OP. Police hunting blacks like slaves, I'm not sure about the claim, but I'd have to go back and read the OP again before commenting. Just want to make sure it is known that this has become an entirely separate conversation.
Then what you are writing is worthless because you don't know anything about their inner thoughts and certainly you don't anything about the inner thoughts of people you have never meet on the basis of their skin color.

Do as you're told mundane.

I don't know too many young black/latino kids who refused to show their I.D and simply get ignored by the police even if they were not doing anything. With many officers their attitude is "do whatever I tell you" regardless if your rights are trampled to death

What does get me is many of those "racist" cops ARE Black or "dark skin Hispanic" who hassle the dudes you just talked about. Maybe it's because those "dark skin" cops HATE it when "their own people" play the fool and DON'T cut them slack. I'm guessing here.

How about that they have to prove to their lighter skin buddies that they won't show favorites?

The woman in this video is not a minority, but it highlights the growing problem we have in Law Enforcement. We need better officers patrolling our streets. More peaceful officers and officers who respect the rights of the public.

Posting this in this thread just so there's not multiple threads discussing Police issues.

**Check out the comment at the bottom from a former officer.

Maybe although several "brown" Hispanics told me they'd rather be stopped by "anglo white" cops because the Hispanics ones treat them real bad.

Rodney King beating:

The 5 cops were ID'd as "white" tho 2 were "Hispanic", looking at their names.

Rodney King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first five LAPD officers to arrive at the scene were Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno, and Rolando Solano.

Koon then ordered the four other LAPD officers at the scene--Briseno, Powell, Solano, and Wind--to subdue and handcuff King using a technique called a "swarm."

That holds true for black officers who ride with white officer as opposed to other black or Latino officers as well.

He doesn't "know anything about the inner thoughts" of all other black people, but YOU DO??? What makes your beliefs any more valid than his?
Repeatedly, you have dismissed the opinions of others on this thread as "worthless". They are no more worthless than your own.
