It means he still wants to play the victim of racial discrimination, even though he found out that is not why he was denied.

White people be the Devil.

Sounds like he is emotionally all wrong and needs therapy. Shouldn't be carrying a gun.

If the cop is under 55 (and probably 60) he can't possibly remember it happening to him.

But the reason minotirites jump to the conclusion they are being treated differently because of the color of their skin is because they are often treated differently because of the color of their skin.

Sure there are cases where race isn't the issue but the reason race is an issue is because it is an issue .


My husband is in residental land development and has managed huge master planned communities. Usually they are upper middle class and up.

In those communities damage will occur at the clubhouse, pools, or petty theft from cars and residents are quick to blame the lower income, minority communities down the street.

When cameras are used it has never been found to be outside folks but the kids living in the communities.

That's the kind of thing that make people of color feel like they are always being targeted because of their race.

Other situation -- in selling homes in these communities the agents are blatant about not wanting to encourage wealthy black families in the community because that might mean more of 'them' will come.

All of this stuff doesn't happen all the time everywhere but it happens enough.

Recently a black physician, I work with, was questioned by a white man who was passing by what he was doing when the black physician went to get into his Lexis.

Speaking of black physicians, why is Ben Carson so silent about all of this?

No one likes to be wrong. It could just be as simple as he doesn't want to admit he got one wrong.

Have you ever heard of Hanlon's razor? It might help you to not jump to conclusions.
