Traffic wise, I have personally been on the winning end of racism few times, where I should have gotten that ticket. I am not going to ask for a ticket I clearly deserve, but it s a prime example.
On another note...
Just the other day, walking out of wal-mart.... they got an old white man checking receipts. I walked straight out the door. Behind me, a younger black man, same size bag in his hand was stopped. He laughed sarcastically about it, but I looked at him and just shook my head in disgust for what the old man did.
I'm just so fucking sick of the racist bullshit that is allowed to fester. I am sick of the racists on this board.

See this is just anecdotal BS. If someone gets knocked over the head and mugged they will give an accurate description of the assailant because they want them caught. This is why your shitty anecdotal example is proven wrong with victim and witness surveys that police arrest criminals in proportion to the rates that criminals of different races commit these crimes.
Are some people racist? Sure. But people do steal. And the people most responsible for theft are blacks*, so yes they get targeted. Unfortunately there are blacks that do not steal and get caught up with the majority that do.
