There's something seriously fishy with that story.  How can you be arrested for trespassing where you work, and how would that EVER stick in any court of law?  And OF COURSE he can sue and win if it's actually true - and if it's actually true, I'm sure there would be attorneys lined up around the corner and down the block chomping at the bit to take that case because it's a big money slam dunk.  Something else is missing from the story.  Something else is not being told there.[/quote]

Are you somebody who looks like a clean-cut, respectable, middle-class white person?[/quote]

Take "white" out of that equation.  White kid hanging out somewhere, covered in tattoos, wife-beater tanktop and pants sagging down around his ass, probably going to be watched with suspicion.  Same goes for a black kid dressed the same way.  Or Latino.

Vice versa, clean-cut, respectable middle-class looking white or black  or Latino person will NOT be looked at with suspicion.[/quote]

Tell that to Forest Whitaker.

(Have you asked your black and Latino friends their opinion about this?)[/quote]
