| mooreandrew58 12/01/17 2:38:34 PM #20: | sure I don't get harassed by the cops as much surely. but I have been harassed by them plenty in the past, seems to have a lot to do with where you live too, not just simply race. also to add the way I dressed back then i'm betting didn't help matters (though in some places i'm sure race plays a much bigger roles than others) almost got arrested once just for being in the wrong place. happened to be walking late at night near a factory that had just been broken into. had 3 cop cars surrounding me grilling the fuck out of me. didn't want to seem to believe anything I told them. fortunately one of them got a call on their radio they found one of them down the road, they quickly gave a "thanks for your cooperation" hopped in their cruisers and sped off. (when something happened in that town all the cops liked to be present. its kinda why they harassed people. they where bored) other than that though I haven't received much else privilege that i'm aware of. even with financial aid or whatever college still looked like it was going to put me in debt so I steered away from it. seeing my brother harassed constantly over his debt kinda made it look really bad to me. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
