Police there are not like police here. For one they all carry guns on holsters. That in itself is enough to intimidate. For another, they are more asshole-ish than here.
Ok, but why would a black person feel intimidated by an asshole cop with a gun, but not a white person?
Yeah a dick of a cop, probably racist.
After that happens to you six or seven times it gets a bit old. They weren't all as obnoxious as this guy but still, it's enough.
Do you think the same cop wouldn't have profiled a white meth head and asked him where he got his walkman from? Do you suppose that same meth head only gets harassed once or twice before the cops leave him alone?
And so your point is you're not disadvantaged by colour, you just don't like the place for other reasons.
Yeah fair enough. But I left a town I didn't like. I don't consider that "disadvantaged", I consider it "taking the initiative". Perhaps you're right and there is a race problem with the cops in that town, or perhaps there was a problem back when you lived there. Do you think it's still the same?
