[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to guess that this teenager has seen many white people on the metro, eating and drinking whatever the hell they want. She has never seen them so much as blinked at, but she is singled out for the potato chips and lollipop.

That being said - for real? Just put the food in your back pack and keep moving.  To be frank, most middle class+ black folks tell their children very early on: follow the rules. It doesn't matter WHO you see breaking the rules, because when the police show up, YOU are the first person that gets arrested/detained/spoken to.  This is a perfect example of that, and (I hope) she learned a hard lesson.

The transit officer DID give her a chance to actually put the food away, so she has no sympathy from me there.  However, the transit officer over-reacted about potato chips.[/quote]
You're right- - - you are TOTALLY GUESSING!!  And with racially prejudiced attitudes.  Good luck with raising racially healthy kids in your house.[/quote]

I actually think the PP nailed it right on the head. You're just so consumed by all the racist rhetoric being thrown around that you're unable to see it I guess. Good luck raising kids that know how to avoid confrontations with police officers. I'm not even black, and I exercise WAY more caution around officers than this girl (who exhibited none whatsoever).[/quote]
