Im a 40 yr old black male who lives in a community where the average home is 400k.(not bragging just setting the scenario)
I am always asked what am i doing in this neighborhood.
This year i have been pulled over 11 timesi have been asked, "boy what are you doing round here" by a officer atleat 10 years younger than me.
I have been given 6 tickets and 3 points on my license for false charges.
I went to court to fight the charges but it was my word against his so i lost.
I have file complaints... nothing has been done.
I no longer bother trying to explain these situations(with the exception of this post) to other white folks because they think i am making a mountain out of a molehill until they saw me pulled over infront of my own home on the 4th of July weekend and made out to be a criminal in front of my neighbors.
This has happened to me since i was a teenager and many of my black friends have similar stories.
I try to be an unassuming citizen while nearly everyone of my neighbors has a confederate flag and racist lawn ornaments.
Such is life
