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?
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
