Tyler Perry Pulled Over, Accuses White Cops of Racial Profiling via Facebook

There's plenty of evidence if you care to take your head out of your ass long enough to see it. Statistics show clearly that blacks and Hispanics drivers fare worse than whites. Hell, just look at Florence v. Burlington, a black man getting pulled over so often he carries a letter explaining his situation and still he get jailed while being innocent.

When you have a composite of several years worth of assaults on cops *as an example* M/B/17-22, 5.8". 140 lbs, wearing xxxx jeans, xxxx shirt and felony flyers.

Profiling becomes a *taught subject*

So police do racial profiling.

BTW, while you concentrate on the criminals, keep in mind that the majority of black people are not criminals but innocent bystanders or victims themselves.
 
Tyler Perry Pulled Over, Accuses White Cops of Racial Profiling via Facebook | Reuters

Despite the fact that he broke the law by making an illegal left turn from the far right lane and having his passenger side windows tinted, Tyler Perry still squeals racial profiling when the cops pull him over. Hint for you Tyler, you got stopped because you broke the law, not because you are black

First, while the turn is clear because he admitted it, the tint thing is an iffy type of thing in most cases I've seen or heard of it being pulled over. Even so, a cop can pull someone over for a legitimate reason but still do it because of racial motivation as well. That doesn't mean it happened here, but it IS possible. I think the immediate "THEY DID IT BECAUSE I WAS BLACK!" knee jerk reaction by a man who exploits black stereotypes to make a living is a bit ridiculous, but who knows. Really...why are we even talking about it. If the claim is bogus and BS....don't give it attention. Focusing on it just gives it attention that it doesn't need nor deserve and is likely to actually get people fooled into believing it. If the claim isn't bogus, with someone the level of fame and wealth as Perry, there's likely no chance that the truth and facts wouldn't actually come to light in a bit of time at which point sure...discuss it then.

However, if this really is another in the line of stupid self-entitled celebrities that tries to blame everything on everyone else but themselves....who the **** cares. Just because he decided to try and use some whiny socio-political excuse rather than a drugs or jews or sex-addict inducing wizard aliens (Zyphlin's Law) doesn't mean it's worth any more time than any of the others.

The cops claim that is the case. Have you inspected the car? Do you hear the conversation between the cops and Perry?

Still don't get it do you?

Am I correct in guessing you've been so hesitant to state an opinion or make a judgement, or so quick to condemn those that have, in the Trayvon case? If so, congrats on being consistent then.

.... who cares? Does Oscar make a thread every time Paris Hilton gets pulled over for a DUI? :cool:

Nope.

...who cares? Do you make a snippy remark suggesting hypocrisy every time someone makes a gigantic deal about a one guy killing another one in a questionable case but doesn't post about the hundreds of other murders that happen in this country?

Oh wait...sorry, forgot, doesn't count if there's a black guy killed. That'd mean you wouldn't make a snippy remark, but rather rage on about it and jump to conclusions prior to all the facts coming to light for a week or so.

But BOOO! BOO! OSCAR! How DARE you offend Hautey by selectively getting outraged and jumping to conclusions as if you know EXACTLY how this went. BOOO! BAD! Be more like Hautey!

So I got it. It's only when black people get killed and no arrest is made that you care. How non-racist of you.

If you want to go after some persons integrity as the means of destroying their debate point it may help if your own didn't have enough holes that it resembled swiss cheese.

Funny fact....people have a whole huge list of motivating factors for what issues strike their fancy or urge them forward. Race, in a variety of ways, absolutely can. Political stand point can. Societal views can. Whether they're a cop or a long time criminal can. Whether they're local to the issue or not can affect it. Perhaps they just focus on things that get big into the news, perhaps others tend to start looking into things when it begins to pop up more on social media, and perhaps others tend to get deeply involved into some issues rather than others due to the things going on in their life and how busy they are at that time. On top of tons of other factors.

But no...no no no. Everyone else's case MUST be because they're racists, even if their actions aren't that different than your own in other situations that are somewhat similar.

Tyler Perry complaining about "racial profiling"? That's rich, coming from a guy who has made millions by portraying black people as characatures and buffoons on television and in movies.

I admit, I LOL'ed

More black motorists pulled over, according to HPD study

Black, Hispanic drivers stopped more often in Illinois, study finds

Minorities getting pulled over, searched, arrested at increasing rate

The idea they're pulled over more has nothing to do with they break traffic laws more? No. It couldn't be that.

Oh, there's a black guy. I think I'll pull him over. Give me a break!

Do you have proof that black people break traffic laws more than other racial groups or is this just another one your snipes at black Americans? And btw, more arrests is not evidence of breaking more laws.
 
And btw, more arrests is not evidence of breaking more laws.

And neither is it evidence that they're not. And neither is it evidence that racial profiling is involved.

I don't snipe at African Americans. You just can't accept a rational mind, can you?
 
So you are essentially saying that it is okay to assume a police officer was racially profiling with absolutely no reason to back it up. And this is being taught as acceptable? Thats ****ing ignorant.
No, I'm saying that people don't have to prove something to you to both have their own opinion or have an accurate take on a situation.

Would be better than the current trend.
"Man, maybe he is racist just because, i mean.. you are black after all...... that makes him racist!"
The way we've been handling these bull**** accusations only adds fuel to the fire.
Maybe you should just stop caring so much about other people expressing their opinions. It seems like it's distressing you an awful lot.

So, as I thought.... you have no desire to fix such a crutch in the black community.

The crutch being, blindly blaming all their problems on racism and living out their lives in that manner.
No, I don't support anybody's decision to let actual or perceived prejudice prevent them from taking responsibility for what they can control. It's unfortunate, though, that you felt the need to distort my argument in such a manner though rather than have an honest discussion about what I actually said.

DISCLAIMER: I am not stating that all blacks do this. (the fact I have to add this is pathetic).
Nobody forced you to do it. It seems like you have a bit of a victim complex if you blame your own choice to ad a disclaimer on "having to do it" because of other people.
 
And neither is it evidence that they're not. And neither is it evidence that racial profiling is involved.

I don't snipe at African Americans. You just can't accept a rational mind, can you?
So if you don't have any evidence, then why would you say that blacks break more traffic laws as a fact and not a mere opinion?

What are you basing this on?

(And yes, making negative generalizations about entire race is a snipe. Also, there's nothing racial about making generalizations about races without evidence.)

You continue to distort other people's words, parse their sentences and semanticize their posts into absolute oblivion. Is that your hobby?

With your consistent massacre of meanings within the English language, I don't know how the hell you can be a writer...
 
What's the matter with you, Caine??? If a guy thinks he's been racially profiled, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Perception is reality. What don't you get about that???

Yes preception can be reality to that person. It does matter if its true or not. When it gets in the press, can it not lead to unjustly created tension between LEO and the community? IMO, when someone plays the profile card and it is not true, it shows that persons bias towards the one they are accusing.

I was using sarcasm, Mike.

There are lots of people in this world who use the system to make other people's lives miserable. Accuse a LEO of profiling to his CO? You've just created tons of paperwork for that offficer; a letter in his personnel file; an investigation. Whether it's true or not, it becomes a part of that officer's permanent file. Some people just love doing that. It makes them feel powerful.

Of course it matters whether or not it's true. That's the only thing that matters.

I thought that might be the case. You and I normally have the same view. I am just a bit tired of the racial stances reported in the news.
Sorry I mis read your post. Should have asked if you were kidding/being sarcastic.

"They break traffic laws more" is an unsubstantiated generalization. Can you please substantiate that generalization?

Jesus H. Christ. It's a question, for God's sake. For those slower at comprehension, allow me to translate: "Is it possible that the links provided that show more minorities being pulled over might be an indication that they break more traffic laws?"

You'd better hope I don't start parsing your words looking for confrontation, PlayDrive. I'll keep you entertained for days. :rofl

I did not say they broke more traffic laws. You're like a little gnat that got in through the screen, PlayDrive. I'm buyin' some Raid.
 
But nobody said that.

Are refering to Perry? If so according to the OP link
"The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling."
So how does Perry go about accusing racial profiling without saying it?
 
Again, there needs to be evidence other than a preconceived feeling that someone is a racist with no basis.

Guy: Man, that mother ****er is racist, that is why he didn't hire me.
Questioner: How are you sure it is racism?
Guy: He JUST IS.

Questioner: WTF?
Why do you think that people need to legitimize their claims by reporting to you? I don't understand that sentiment. As far as racial profiling goes, it's nearly impossible to prove objectively. Consequently, neither you nor I KNOW if someone is racial profiling. Therefore, if you say, "He's not profiling" and I say, "Yes, he is," we both are giving OPINIONS. You're arguing that your OPINION is better than other peoples' OPINIONS and that people should prove their opinions to you. That doesn't make any sense.

No, MaggieD is passive aggressively distorting people's arguments and I'm just letting her know.

That is what you said. I quoted you and now you're backtracking and insulting me because I asked you a question. That's unnecessary.

If a person is pulled over who isn't breaking the law, he may have a legitimate claim for racial profiling that should be investigated. And that's the guy that should probably file a complaint. A series of such complaints against an officer would prove a pattern. If he's ticketed for having illegally tinted windows and driving irratically, any claim of racial profiling goes out the window, in my opinion. If the person was breaking the law, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Period. No matter what his perception.

Your statement applies to about everthing that goes on DP. and that is my opinion.
So I agree, you make no sense :mrgreen:

as far as racial profiling, only those involved know for sure.

Touche. But I don't think people have to come to me to make their opinions legitimate. I might argue a lot, but at the end of the day, I know that people's opinions are founded by their experiences which is why though I can't imagine adopting a lot of conservative stances for myself, I understand that people have different experiences than me and therefore, those stances make sense to them in that context. This is why Caine's insistence that other people legitimize their opinions by reporting to him is so ridiculous to me.

as far as racial profiling, only those involved know for sure.
Exactly my point. If only those involved know for sure, then it doesn't make sense to tell people what they have or have not experienced.
 
So if you don't have any evidence, then why would you say that blacks break more traffic laws as a fact and not a mere opinion?

What are you basing this on?

(And yes, making negative generalizations about entire race is a snipe. Also, there's nothing racial about making generalizations about races without evidence.)

Whites drive even more crazy than blacks.

I know I'm "stereotyping" but hey, I can't deny what I see.:mrgreen:
