How would you feel??

I was not going for a comeback. You did not have a point, so you figured you could go to the name calling. I said You did not have a point, and you don't. Your done.

I made my point in post #33. Reading is fundamental.

[81911SC]

Good try.

[Kamikaze]

Must have been. It sure shut you up.

[81911SC]

No, the only thing shutting me up is having to shit and puke. You can view my thread.

I have a stupid question...have you ever been to Africa? Have you ever lived there? Were you or your parents...or maybe you're grandparents born there? It would stand to reason...if none of the answers are "yes"...you are a black American. I don't understand why its "African American"...White people...don't typically walk around calling themselves "Irish Americans" or "Italian Americans" unless they are directly linked to said country. I have several black friends who say its about culture, but I don't understand why you set yourself apart in title, but are upset about discrimination...

People get pulled over all the time for no good reason...white people, red necks, white-collared business men...blondes. This cop may have pulled you over because you are black, but fucked with you because he was bored...

I'm not calling you out...just asking a question and stating why it confuses me.

I get that this is off topic, but I was just wondering.

Ok, lets look at this shall we, on any application where is says race, tell me if you never seen it say African American/Black or even Caucasian/White? and the list goes on

It doesn't matter if I know if any of my family of recent times was from there, I know that we were not here first and that slaves were brought to America on a ship, so why would I not call myself an African American, if I know that my roots are in-fact from Africa.

Think about it

and I don't care what anyone else classifies their self as I'm talking about me



It's sad, but I do try to grasp on to some of my culture that I have limited knowledge on.

damn tony

yea Twin it was actually pretty funny...

Thats cool I guess...

The whole application thing is BS though, the only reason it says "African American" and not "Black" is because they have to be PC. I feel like the "African Americans" set themselves apart for one reason or another...but want to be treated "equal". You discriminate against yourselves. If you want to be "Americans" be Americans with dark skin...be black. It is your color, but not a discrimination. Black isa dedcription that clarifies without setting apart. You are still an American...but an American just like I am...no matter your color. I just don't get people getting pissed when you call them black...and not "African American." I know several "African Americans", they are from Africa and now live in the US. I also know several Black people...who were born and raised here in the states.

I get wanting to be close to your roots, but that title ignores how far you have come...that you are Americans now...equal and free. I'd be proud of that, that's all.

[yeahright]

Sunday at around 4 or so in the evening I was riding my bike and following behind a friend who had to handle some business in Peachtree City. So we are now leaving and I notice a cop at the light adjacent to us, and thought to myself, "O.K, I hope that I don't get pulled over!!". So we're riding down on what I believe to be 74 on the way to 85 and as we get 3 to 4 miles down the road I notice that I see the cop trying to creep up on me (I shake my head noticeably out of frustration) so we're getting close to a light so I see if this guy is really after me so I turned on my blinker to get in the left lane and what do you know the cop does the same thing... So to put it out there I'm African-American and on this day I didn't have my jacket on just a white-tee and some jeans (so it's pretty obvious to see me), just in-case no one knew or even cared, but this is valuable info to this story . Now me, my friend JDMJAYDC2 (who's in-front of me), and the cop who is behind me are getting to a light and now he finally decides to turn the flashers on me. As we pulled over and he (Caucasian, as if you didn't already know ) gets out of his car he asks me, "Why were you shaking your head?", and I replied, "No reason at all sir", he then ask do you know why I pulled you over and I said No. I pulled you over cause your tag states that you don't have a valid registration, and I'm saying to myself, if that isn't the biggest crock of bull I don't know what is, so he asks for my info and license I gladly smile and hand it to him cause I know that I did nothing wrong, but DWB in Peachtree City on my bike that I make the payments on and pay insurance for. My birthday is in June and I just re-newed my tag and everyone knows that Georgia will not allow for you to re-new your tag if you don't have valid insurance , so I knew that he was gonna try to find out something to cite me for. I call my friend to let him know that I'm ok and to ask where did he pull off to and get him up to speed on what's going on. The officer steps out with a citation saying Improper Moving Violation, he tells me that this is a warning (to stay my black ass out of Peachtree City ) and he then ask if my taillight was after-market (and it is..lol) integrated taillight , and he goes on saying that my taillight is suppose to have the reflector in it like a car and state No sir, it's not and then he goes on saying yes you are like how my car has the reflectors in it your suppose to have some sort of reflector for cars to see you just in-case your taillight goes out, and in my head I'm like what the hell does reflectors in 4 in the evening have to do with my light going out and then their on the side of the bike not behind, so apparently someone wanted to be a Pecker-head and argue about I could of cite you for more moving violations, cause I got about 5 mins of you doing it. I then chuckled in-front of the officer and say to myself you were only behind me for no more than 2 mins and if i get cited for have my are out like a bird then every driver in Ga should get cited for having their arm out the window, he goes on saying that all this stuff I could cite you for you could lose your license and I'm like Why?, What did I ever do to you, is it because I'm young, own a legal bike and I just so happen to be Black. Did I offend you sir being having all these things, I asked myself. He then about something, at this point I have my head down and I'm shaking it and then I'm on my way.


You see IA, I didn't even throw out the Race Card, or acted like someone of my ethnicity as portrayed on the NEWS:idb: :idb:

That's what it's there for....


What would you have said or done, if you were put in a situation where you know that you did nothing wrong, but riding in the wrong CITY, BOY!!!


Oh and to that officer who writes like a 3rd grader and signs so I'm not able to understand your name

hmm, maybe a case of self-fulfilling prophecy. If I was a cop and you were acting like you knew you were going to get pulled over, I would probably pull you over too, just to see if you were doing something shady.

Whenever a cop gets behind me and follows me for awhile, I stay calm and dont worry about it because I have done nothing wrong. When you start acting like you have done something, It draws the cops attention.

Ok, you would like to talk about being calm. Me getting pulled over is just like me going to work. I'm use to it, I don't freak-out and shit myself, it's a shame to say, but it's apart of everyday life. So let me get this straight, you'll just pull me over just to pull me over, without me doing anything wrong, just to piss a happy person off huh?
