Black vs. White Police- what a battle, or is it considered as strife. Black people have always had a problem with White police, or was it the other way around? However, which ever way you decide to say it, the White Policemen ALWAYS won. Where I'm from we refer to police as "the man" or "babylon," and despite the fact that we don't have any white police in our country, we still fear them whenever we travel to the United States.
From my point of view, I don't think that its fair the way Black people get treated by the police. Why is it that when we drive fancy cars, or live in big houses, we either sell "dope" or we stole it. Although, in such cases as these, the innocent suffers for the guilty; but some black people really work hard to achieve what they have.
I have a number of relatives who have experienced this sort of treatment in the U.S. Simply because of the area they live in, or because of the cars they drove. Where I come from my family is considered quite wealthy, and this is because we work tremendously hard for our standard of living.
My whole ideology of "Black vs. Blue: Time for a Cease-Fire?" (Carstarphen 199) is even though blacks are considered a rebels, they ought not to be abused by "the system". Yes you have those who are guilty, and you have those who innocent as a virgin, so it is about time we put to a stop the reinactment of slavery.

I understand what you mean totally. As far back as anyone can remember African Americans have always been harassed. I have experienced this and my family isn’t wealthy, nor do we have an expensive car. I believe the fact of the matter is white people like to mess with black people as much as possible. I believe that some white people get a satisfaction feel better about themselves when they put African Americans down and belittle us. It is a sad thought but what can we do to change it? I believe that something’s in life you just have to accept and move on. An African American is not going to win against Caucasian police officers. That is one thing that is not going to happen. I believe that we should just continue to do what we do, stay on a road of continued success and keep driving nice cars. If we keep getting pulled over, then I guess we are doing something right. Kill them with kindness.
