[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I understand the point of this thread but there have been many, many times that I've been treated better than the people around me, including white people.

I've had some horrible experiences with police officers. Most of my interactions with them have been overwhelming positive though.

I just don't like the way this thread portrays poc as completely victimized 100% of time. [/quote]

I've had horrible experiences with police officers too. In fact, I think half of my interaction with officers has been pretty unpleasant. And I volunteer in the community.

I'd love to know where all these people live who get off speeding tickets because they're white. I'm a decently attractive white woman. I've only had a couple of speeding tickets in my life but never got off with just a warning even though I was very polite and there's absolutely nothing sketchy in my background.

Justine Hammond was a white, blonde woman with no criminal record who was shot on sight by a police officer. Nobody is safe and it is incredibly frustrating to have people imply otherwise.[/quote]
