Hi there.

First let's define RACISM; RACISM is discrimination based on race, so a white person who hates blacks is racist, a black person that hates whites is also racist, same as sexism, which is discrimination on the basis of gender, not only against women, because there are alot of women that are sexist, oops i digressed there.

But, while dealing with cops, you are a wize-ass, black or white there is a good chance that you'll end up beeing arrested.

Once i had the cops at my door, they said they had a complain, and asked to come in.

If i would have said no they would have insisted and who knows what could have happened after that, (i am white) but insteadi said: "What is this about?", the cops stayed out and everything was resolved there, it was so insignificant to me that i do not remember what it was all about.

Another thing.

Once i got into an argument with a black guy i knew, he was losing the argument then he sais: "you're on my case because i'm black!" the argument had nothing to do with race and i ansewered him: "No, i'm on your case because you were acting like an idiot", he didn't like that but he knew i was right. Why did he bring up the fact that he was black which was totally irrelevant? Maby to get some sympathy? or more to remind me that he was a "big bad black guy"? Either way it didn't work, but i guess he felt he has to try.

I dealt with that only once and i was a bit putoff by it, i can immagine that cops get it on a very regular basis and are quite tired of it, personally i think it is weak to play the race card every time things don't go your way.
