Glad I live in a black neighborhood where you can jog without anyone fucking with you. Fuck living around them.
Anyone calling this bullshit is not black. Period.
As a black man, you have to consider shit MAYBE no other race has to consider. You are suspicious because you fucking exist. Any activity that can even even be remotely interpreted as criminal, WILL BE.
Back in the early 2000s, I lived with an aunt and uncle for a about four months. Well, my first day there, I walked up to the library to get a library card, and obviously check out some books.
This white lady was at the help-desk, but with her back turned. I said, 'Excuse me...'. This lady turned around and said, 'Oh my god!' The fuck? She then said, 'Hold on for a minute...' She turned to the side, to catch her breath, then asked how could she help me.
When I told her I wanted to get a library card, she looked at me like I had three heads.
Interestingly enough, that same lady ended up speaking to me every time I came into that library...
...but her first thought was, of course, I was there to jack the library, or rape her, or something OTHER than checking out books.
If someone can get profiled like that in a library, what in the fuck you think would happen in the streets?
I've never been stopped or profiled when jogging, even in all white suburban neighborhoods. I jog typically at 11:30pm to 1am too.
i used to jog at midnight on a street behind my subdivision.
i got the cops called on me so much they knew me by name and asked if i was okay that night.
mafuggas started calling me the midnight runner.![]()
yup i don't jog like a normal person should for that reason.
it ain't the clothes, its the black.
we're being racially profiled in every setting
others don't know how that feels from the time you're able to go outside and do things by yourself, to have THAT on your mind as well as other things from day to day
They have a few gym spots that are open 24-hours up here. There are times I like to go workout when the gym is basically empty so I have access to everything I want, so I hit the gym up late at night/early morning.
Still get the occasional U-turn bust on me by the pigs. Or they pull out of where they are parked to 'run my plates.'
why did he keep trying to get a job at the store who didnt want to even accept his application?
me and the guys used to joke about this shit all the time. dont be black and get caught running anywhere, somebody white fuck is gonna think your fleeing the scene of a crime ;smh:
I admit to having experienced these thoughts at one time. And consciously picking brighter clothes to not be seen but to not be seen ("mistaken") for an assailant or suspect.![]()
I don't jog outside, but what can the police really do if you're dressed like a jogger. Jogging shorts, jogging shirt. WTF. Like I said I don't jog outside but if I did, proper apparel is a must. Have anyone been harassed by police while wearing jogging attire?

man please. when im training i could give a fuck about racial profiling.
co-sign.Yea its kinda fucked up when you have to wear a heart rate monitor, an iPod, and a smile to not get fucked with.
SIMPLE; some katz were talking as if what you wear or how you act would and the po-po would be less to harass a brotha......^Why is that story relevant to THIS thread?
I dont believe this at all. Its bullshit race baiting. And WTF does Racially Profiled mean while jogging? A cop is gonna stop you because youre out for a morning run? Cmon son. I jog almost everyday. And been doing it for years. And have never had a problem with anyone. And any black man thinking he shouldn't go outside because "Whitey" might get them, is just a bitch ass nigga. I cant believe some of you think like that![]()
Look at the words y'all "race baiting" wtf.... Rush Limbaugh posts on bgol ? only cac's use these type of words
i was going to say that.
black people don't use words like that. that is solely in the cac lexicon.
If you only knew...
...and since you don't, I'm going to tell you --
I didn't tell anyone close to me 'cause I knew they'd probably think I was being extreme...
...but my two favorite that I've visited are LA and NYC. The biggest reasons why I left LA, after being out there for THREE days intending to stay, was because of my fear of the notorious gang known as the LAPD. The LAPD don't give a fuck, AND they're protected up high. I'm tall, dark, and if you don't know me, I can look very intimidating. I don't do anything to get into trouble, but my mind couldn't find any ease out there. Same with NYC, and the NYPD.
People can say I'm too paranoid - and maybe I am - but if there are black people that have been unfairly targeted by the NYPD and LAPD, what makes me any different?
You think Rodney King was anticipating that when he left his house? I doubt it.
Amadou Diallo? Ditto.
Shit, I don't want to go to NYC anymore because of S & F. That could easily turn into some bullshit.
Joggin?
Yea y'all gotta be pushing 40
