It’s not just blacks who have to be suspicious of the legal system. Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Philipinos – basically anyone not white or asian – will get harassed by the police. This type of thing just does not happen to white people. I am Mexican, but I have fairly light skin, and when I am with a group of white friends, people assume that I am white also. So I have witnessed first hand the difference in treatment by the police. The police basically ignore a group of white kids hanging out around town, but a group of Mexican kids acting the same way, doing the same thing will undoubtably get questioned. When getting pulled over for a traffic violation, the white kids may not even get a ticket, just told to drive more safely. When pulling Mexican kids over, the cops ussually have their guns already out, make the kids get out of the car, and interogate them individually to make sure their stories all match before letting them go – with a ticket. And this just goes on and on.
