Be wealthy. My father happens to be very wealthy and gets horrible treatment when buying a car, and was asked for id on his own beach. It's friggin private. He just does what he wants quietly though but it is embarrassing. He now lives in Thailand and in an apartment in Germany. He is treated with utmost respect everywhere else in the world but in the US. Oh, he had to buy another car because someone hated him for driving a luxury vehicle and put a contaminant in his gas tank. It was investigated and the cops said he should know better than to drive a car that nice. You work hard to retire early at 57 and this is what you get in America as a black man.

I'm not rolling my eyes at all. I'm just feeling really sad. I'm trying to wrap my head around what it must be like to raise a black child, and especially a black male, in this fukced up country.

I’m black and have a young elementary-aged daughter. I felt a little relieved when I learned we were having a girl, although I feel guilty saying it—black girls certainly have their challenges, but it doesn’t seem as dangerous out there for girls as it does for black sons.

However, even that’s not much relief, since I have a black husband and brothers.

Omg. Yes. Me too. I really wanted a boy but know it would kill me to have to bury him before I die.

You mean BB guns that look like the real thing? And flashing them in public?

Add parenting to the list.

My white friend kids run around Rockville all the time with guns that look real.

But cops have never felt like they need to lecture them.

How about a law against guns that look real when they are not. Make them green.

You mean illegally sell CDs?

NP. No. The 12 yr old was at the mall to meet up with friends. No illegal CDs. And police man handled the 12 ye old and said he was going to jail.

Guess you didn't read the story.

Myra I did.

Kid was a guest on Ellen. Was meeting friends. Cop grabbed him because in the past he sold CDs but not that day.

Guess you didn't either. Out of all of things they decided to charge this 12 year old with, none of them included illegally selling CD's. So interesting, little boy trying to promote himself, trying to do something with his life and you guys find something wrong with that. If he was just hanging in the mall you guys would say he was loitering and was a thug.

Yeah, they indict kids for criminal trespass all the time for no reason. Try reading.

Also, "just hanging in the mall" is the very definition of loitering.

Is that what all those white kids are doing at Montgomery Mall and Tysons?

Mic drop! Nailed it.

Why so obtuse? I read that they had previously tried to sell CDs but on this trip to the mall they were just meeting up with friends.
