Oh yea... like I'm going to REALLY act like I'm guilty of something and say no. I had no choice, and nothing to hide. I actually feared they were going to plant something in the car... it was that off-the-wall.
..and that's what I feared.
It's against your own interests to help them prove you are guilty. That's not your job. They don't want you to be innocent.
If they don't search your car there is a 100 percent chance they won't find anything. That's a fact and you can't do any better than that.
I hope if it happens again you will not consent. Check out some online vids to help you. Information is knowledge, knowledge is power.
The last time I saw racism was in a bank three years ago. A woman stepped out of a long line to fill out a form required by the teller and then literally pushed the woman customer at the teller window aside, and made some racist comments to the customer at the window with the teller, to do her transaction after she filled out the form required by the teller and was ready to proceed with her transaction. Shocking racism, even for New York.
I told the racist woman she was a racist, as I stood in line, and she just looked at me. She didn't care. No one else said a word to her, even the teller.

Yes I have seen racism happen, it has happened to myself and to my family, as well as to friends.
The one incident that truly shocked me the most was the arrest of a young Black man FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. He was also hit by the cop. It happened right in front of me- I was young, naive and after that very scared of cops. That man unleashed some pent up fury and anger on an innocent person. Police abuse is real.
Recently, my mother was yelled at coming off of a cruise ship in Orlando. She is a very quiet, respectful 65 year old woman. My little teen sister was falling behind in the crowd, so in Spanish she told her to come up with her. An older White couple started yelling at her, saying they couldn't wait until D Trump deported 'all of you despicable people' and we're gonna build the wall, and yadda yadda.
Luckily my mother is very thick skinned and told them to shut up, but this kind of stuff has been happening more often. Any little thing can trigger someone's racism but now, since a political figure does it in public, why can't they?

Well from the responses on this post the only thing that is shown is that most conservatives have their heads buried in the sand... Or they just lie with a straight face...

And most of their stories sound made up to boot...not very imaginitevely either. I currently live in a neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago that is only 5-7% white, and haven't experienced any racism/problems from non-whites that is even remotely on the scale of the fiction they're peddling. (and I've been here 11 years now)
Funny how with decades in the workforce, I've never had an employer tell me that I won't get hired because I don't meet a racial quota. (If such a hiring manager actually exists, they're an idiot to tell you something like that, even in the unlikely case that it's true. Lol!)
Funny how their anecdotes rarely line up with reality.
One major example racism is what I see in the forums. There are so many threads consisting of, well, complaining about Blacks.
It's interesting, because probably most of the racism I see in the world happens in these forums.
In my real life, I rarely see racism at all, although it might be because I generally interact with not really racist white people and there isn't much of a chance to experience it.
I've seen racism before. My father will do anything he can to not go to Native American businesses, claiming they are lazy and entitled. He also will occasionally jip waiters' and other types of servers tip money if they are of a minority, usually Latino. He also uses the n***er word a LOT, especially watching Maury or Jerry Springer. He laughs a lot more at when black people or other minorities are on the show than other white people.
I see racism on the occasion, generally against Mexicans and Native Americans.
