"5 Ways You're Treated Like A Criminal EveryDay"; Stand UP!!!

5. Doing Anything (While also Being Black or Hispanic and Male) What? It’s true…




Hmmmm its funny that You mention it.... I used to travel back and forth between Houston and New Orleans to go offshore. I shave my head because I spend 3/4 of my life each year around guys. The way I look at it why should I cut my hair and worry about looking good when I am around a bunch of guys? So considering the fact that I am not gay my hair style is my choice and to be honest bald heads are not strange these days because men with receding hair lines have finally started showing their pride....


Well to make a long story short EVERY time I went to the Houston Airport I was pulled over 2 - 3 times everytime to get checked and patted down for explosives and crap. I was bitching to a coworker one time whom is extremely racist about being pulled over every time at the air port and being checked multiple times before reaching the gate. One time I had to take off my clothes so the could search me and it was ridiculous to say the least. He asked me what color all the people were that harassed me at the air port. It never donned on me until I thought about it that I was being racially profiled because I had a shaved head. These ignorant pukes assumed I was a skin head so they felt like I was a threat or maybe they wanted to harass me...

The messed up thing is if You are white with a shaved head You are a skin head but if You are black its just Your style. WTF?

So don't let those people act like they are the only victims in racial profiling because if the rolls were reversed they would be profiling the hell out of everyone...... Maybe people just need to admit that they do not trust other races and move on to better themselves.

Yep, not too many folks are wanting to visit the States anymore.... Oh, and I'm very careful what I say out in public; they'll turn OUR butt's in.

I agree. Hey, I have a few friends that work out offshore where your talking about. I can see what your talking about with the skinhead crud.

The overall text of the sited article was excellent. You've made a strong point to add with that.

What You pointed out is how the NWO is using Divide, and conquer through xenophobia all the way around.

Good points, and I'm sorry that's happening.

You know i was in Best Buy the other day and spent about $150.00 bucks.On my way out i had a 200 pound man ask to check my receipt. I just keep walking no bells or alarms whent off and was hope he was going to try me .Because if he had put his hands on me i would have had every right to do the same, and by the way my hard spent money is hard to come by now days and a law suit would have been a nice chang of pace

Hey jammer.... some reason I keep picturing You as a gear jammer driving a truck?

Any ways, GOOD FOR YOU!!! That ole' boy was just doing his job; however, what he failed to realize is that job is actually putting him in line as a minion of the NWO.

If there were more People like You we wouldn't be having these issues. The horizon is looking dark right now, and I just want People to have a chance.

Wow.. what a spoiled, self-serving bunch of civilians we have become. Is that list serious? Omg...

Many countries have guards with armed rifles search all your bags. Omg.. you have to TAKE YOUR SHOES AND JACKET OFF?! No way! I've never had an issue with this. You are being protected so some other passenger doesn't blow the damn plane up! Geeze.. sorry they are inconveniencing you so terribly.

How often do I have my receipts checked? Huh.. never. How often does it really happen to folks? Once in a blue moon? How dare businesses try to protect their good! The bloody nerve...

How often are you required to talk to the police?

I once witnessed someone hit and run, some guy took off a truck's door, while the driver was trying to get in. He was mildly hurt. I followed the car until he pulled over a few miles away to see the damage to his own vehicle. A motorcycle cop was just about to pull out to chase down a speeder across the road, and I stopped him. He said "This better be good..." And you know.. it wasn't a big deal. I explained the situation, he went across the road to see. That was I dunno... 13 years ago? The last time I have talked to a cop.

Man.. I swear, people go out of their way to try to find new ways to complain about what a terrible, socialist, communistic, evil country we live in. Look.. if you like like it, move already. No one is stopping you. The country isn't going to bend to your every whim because certain things inconvenience you. Get over yourselves for cripes sake.

it's disturbing how conditioned some people are with all this stuff.

I remember before (what I've heard) they really started cracking down on shoes. All these pre-conditioned nimrods just automatically un-shoe themselves because of some sign somewhere. I've stared right at the security guy and walked right through the metal detectors wearing a pair of square toed harness boots. yeah, the ones with a large visible metal ring on them.

last time my employer wanted me to fly out to meet with some clients, I simply said no thanks, I don't fly anymore. just rent me a car and I'll drive. They couldn't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that I'm not going to voluntarily darn near disrobe in public because other people want to have the illusion of safety.


... I live in a decent neighborhood, I don't think I've been bag checked on entry since I started to not look like some average college prick. Of course, I've also gotten away with "sorry, don't hear you" and wander off.

... never had police problems. been pulled over a few times, but never got a ticket. some of us are lucky I guess.

... I have a special place in my heart for receipt checkers. Typically I just do the ol' Coffin Smash on them. What's that you ask? I just walk right by/around them and say 'no thanks!' politely. If the sensor beeps, I just keep walking. Since some of the big box stores have gotten sued in the past over people blocking their way (false arrest), they're a LOT more timid and passive about that now.


... as for doing anything while ethnic.. well, I'm a white middle class male with a shaved head. I've never had those problems. Been accosted on the train and buses before by some angry types until I say the one word disarmament phrase. "Cancer" or "chemotherapy".. I'm not a racist, I'm just going bald, but I've found when people are angry, they don't accept or believe that. They won't mess with cancer tho.

Its happening every were....NWO...they know how much we spend where we shop at and were we live...For example,we go to Beat Buy and purchace an item...nost of us us credit or debit...now they know how much you just spent,know what you purchased and what time the transacton was.Then as if this was not enuogh they have the nerve to ask you for your address zip code and telephone number(but thats just for mailing purposes)What happend to paying wiyh cash getting and getting a smile.I dont know but it seems as thought they are collecting a lot of info from the customer?

reply to post by fleabit


I think what the Op may have been referring to... Is that he and others are being harassed and having their time wasted for a few (chicken) people to have a false sense of security. As the Op mentioned,

Considering TSA lines can grow to over 1000 people, and everyone must pass through the little TSA checkpoint, then why wouldn't, if we had real terrorists just blow themselves up in line??? They'd be able to kill hundreds, and shut the airport down for days. In the long run costing more than a jet.

So I'm kind of confused about the whole -remove your shoes, belt, coat, anything from your pockets, remove your laptop from its case, get yourself wanded and so on and so on and so on...

I have long hair, small waist, and large breasts and I;ve been pulled aside so that a female TSA employee can check for who knows what in my hair and then lift and squeeze my breasts, which I'd at least like to be paid for lol.

I'm not kidding, It's getting stupid.

That's what I'm talking about!!! Realize what You do, should everyone else do this then We would be king, and the NWO would be the servant.

You along with a gentleman further up mentioned the fact of chrome dome descrimination. I here You, and the sighted article in the OP should have reflected how many different attributes are profiled these days. There are so many; really there are.

Keep standing strong!!

reply to post by jammer2012


Hey jammer2012, the NWO is tracking everything we do; that's why they want to very soon move us into the final phase. You can look up Maincore; it's the super database/spreadsheet which is no operating to track us all.

You are a true Lady. Thanks for showing the nay sayer an interesting fact.

I'm betting a CIA Terror Specialist, or would that be a poor mind controlled idiot could carry a large device in their carry on bag...

Oh, wait, for the nay sayer we could set up road blocks every quarter mile. We could install CCTV everywhere........puke puke puke puke puke.....


Oh, Hey I've got 50bucks???

i agree totally every time i take my mother shopping at walmart she hollers at me about letting the old lady door grreeter check my reciept i have tried explaining to her they don't have the right i am a former store security guard and in my state u can't even stop a perp once they leave curb but yhou can't stop inside store either. walmart implemented reciept checks after they saw how few people complain about it at sams club.

When the IRA were planting bombs in London they were reported to have said "You need to be lucky All the time - we only need to be lucky once".

A quote like that would be enough to put the fear of god into people.

A car bomb went off across the (very narrow) street from my office once. I came into work the next day to find a 2ft shard of glass on my chair from where my window had blown in. If that bomb had gone off at 12 noon instead of 12 midnight that glass could have gone right through me.

Even after a scare like that I can still see that targetting Joe Public for searches and checks is trying to tackle the problem from the wrong end. We all know that if our governments would apply fair and just policies to all citizens and refrain from illegally invading other countries we could pretty much forget about threats from (genuine) terrorists.

My feeling is that they are so confident now that they (the governments) don't even care if we can 'see the strings'.

Anyway, if I don't like a particular policy in regards to bag or body checks I boycott the place that's implementing them. As I would if I received poor service.

The exceptions would be theatres or museums but the staff in places like those are usually polite.

I did make a fuss once at a club when a man tried to get hold of, and open, a small bag that I had attached to my belt. I demanded that a woman made the search since I didn't want that gorilla getting so close to me. He was well pxssed off - but I got my own way.

flying is not a problem really. Increased security is not realy all that problematic. Bag checking has always been part of flying.

Talking to the police?

I don't see why this is a problem and receipt checking makes sense inasmuch as it's part of a loss prevention policy.

as far as you last comment I'm not sure if that's just reverse racism on your part or if you actually believe that's true?

yes, tre has been cases of profiling, but is that the major portion of the reality? I don't think so.

LOL! Dying! I completely understand that. Exact same experiences for me when I have flown. Well, except for the hair. I used to deal with that part, too, but I have since cut it really short and that has been the one bit that I haven't had to deal with lately. My biggest issue was always with the bra, though. I always, every single time, got hassled about the underwire in it.

I think that I would dispute PRS395's post on page 1 about the second most dangerous profiles after the the over 75yr old grandmothers, though. I am certain that I fall into that profile. The "just barely tops 5' (5'1 1/2" if I wear heels), weighs right around 103 on a "bloaty" day, and is the most "pretty, pretty, princess" mommy type you can imagine" profile.

I fly fairly frequently and I have not yet once - ever - not gotten pulled aside for the further inspections and have only once gotten on a plane without "randomly" also having my bags checked. Apparently, I scare the crap out of the TSA people.

I've never had to check my bag at a store, but I have gotten the receipt checkers. How I react depends on my mood at the moment. Sometimes I just say "no" over my shoulder as I continue by them and sometimes I go the "Excuse me?! Look, I'm already running late because you can't be bothered to keep enough checkers on shift to keep lines at a reasonable length. I don't have time for this and you will not cause me to fall further behind schedule." Both work and I have never gotten any hassle for either.

I really am amazed sometimes to see how much we give our freedoms away without noticing it until they are gone.

Take care,
Cindi

I love the TSA. Biggest bunch of loosers EVER. My glasses case looks like a pipe bomb. I have no idea why.. Oakley decided that was the cool fashion for a glasses case (even though it looks retarded and you can't carry it around so its !@#%$ pointless.. I digress..) anywho .. I am flying back East and I am thinking "Oh boy they are gunna pull my bag aside" .. Nope. Not a mention about it.

I DID get pulled aside though. Because I didn't take my sandals off .. the guy went ranting and raving about me not reading signs and holding up the line. I asked "What could I possibly put in my sandals?" .. To which I was pulled into the little glass container and my sandals were examined along with my pocket watch and chain. I guess not many people carry pocket watches anymore, they were mystified.

On my way back West I was a good boy, took my sandals off this time and waltz through security on the disgusting public carpet. This time I heard them talking about my bag, proceeded to examine it.... glasses case. !%!@ Oakley's.

Had anyone asked me if I was a terrorist, out of sheer cheek I would have told them I was a member of the Irish Liberation Front here to Liberate my Irish Brethren from the oppressive United States. I would help them out by informing them my bomb is in my Sandal.

You didn't happen to notice all the other male guards leaning over drooling while she did that eh? Just wait till they do the full body X-Ray scans they are trying to get into airports.

"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to pass threw again. Uh huh .. ok .. pause there.. now back up.. forward again.. a little slower.. could you jog in place for me?"

I was at a small airport in Florida, just paid over $700 for the airfare because it was same day, i was having asthma probs and needed to get home so i called and borrowed some money from my parents to cover the cost, i get to teh airport and all i did was read a book for 45 mins before they let us get to the gate area. Now just remember this is a tiny airport with only 7 gates. there were only about 15 people on my flight until we picked up in ATL.

But anyways i get to security check, i do the whole shoes off bit, they search my bag, they took my shampoo, my sneaker cleanser and my shoe polish, THEN I'm pulled aside by 2 guys who ask for my ID, i hand it over, then they ask for my ticket, they compare the two and they look at each other and turn to another guy at a computer, they motion for me to follow then to another desk (still in visible sight of all other passengers). Turns out the stupid airline spelt my first AND last name wrong on my ticket and they were nervous when they saw my license and the spelling didn't match, even though there in reality was only a letter either added or subtracted from both names, but my name if changed and warped could be taken as a muslim name.

So anywho i'm spread out against a wall like i'm on Cops they search me and thoroughly search all my possessions, they are tossing stuff out all over teh table indiscriminately, dirty underwear, socks, my cigarettes and my condoms that i had. Then they realize i'm coming back to new england so after putting me on display for 15 mins the security guard asks of all things if i'm a Red Sox or Yankees fans, i turned and half laughed and told him i support my Sox, he reveals he is a yankees fan, makes a joke about how i need more screening. Ultimately they found nothing but airline error and let me board without further issue but this is the climate now where you can just be pulled aside for random checks.

I had asked what this was about when first asked to step aside and they said I had been "chosen at random" for extra security checks. Figures this is the only lottery i would ever win. lol Peace out peeps.

I get to miss all that good stuff!

I don't fly and hate to shop. The only place they do a receipt check is at WalMart and usually it's not really a check at all. Ya' just hold up the receipt, smile at 'em, they smile back and you're out the door. No cops in the little community I live in. Although there is sign on one of the branch banks I go to instructing one to remove their hat and sunglasses, I never take my sunglasses off until I'm in the door and filling out the deposit slip. The other branch bank doesn't even have a sign.

There's a lot of things we don't have and have to drive 100+ round trip if we want, but in my little community we do have the freedom to do anything we want. If we do something "bad", we don't get the cops, we get the neighbors on our case. Sometimes the cops would be easier to deal with! LOL!

I was born in the early 80's and I remember throughout the 90's the major differences in North American culture, especially the shift after 9/11. Including the shape of our consumer marketplaces. I remember renting videos from small video store chains before Blockbuster dominated the market, Where I'm from nearly all of those have since closed down. I remember eating at small burger joints and mom and pop restaurants. I also remember police issuing tickets to my parents without asking a list of questions that seem completely out of place. (you are issuing a traffic violation, beyond that you should have no right to question the driver on anything unless rated to the highway traffic laws)
The problem is, is that the future generations don't remember what it was like before there were thousands of Starbucks, McDonalds, Best Buys and every other giant store out there. They don't remember what it was like when people weren't up to their ass in credit and loans. (Even if you are my age, you remember your parents talking about the state of their finances)

Like that one video from the Russian ex-KGB that says it takes one generation to completely transform a country's thinking, the outlook of the future generation seems bleak to me. Being raised with ads that bombard children and develop family type relationships with corporations is disturbing. The commerce section has taking over the role of the parent. And the current young generation is much too distracted by what is going on in hollywood, the hills and laguna beach to actually look around them and notice what goes on in the real world. They are too busy being an 'individual' buying clothes and listening to music that is talormade to their 'individuality'.

I had a discussion at work yesterday with a co-worker and I asked
'would you be happier if you knew nothing?, if you didn't know that major corporations carry out crimes all over the world and that people in the west benefit from those crimes. If you didn't know how corrupt the system of government was. If you didn't know that the majority of people are corrupted, which is simply a realistic trait of human nature. Would you be happier living your life distracted with no real concept of what human nature is like'

He said 'yeah, but then I'd have to be a complete tool'. I agreed. While you would, on the surface, be more happier believing in the system. You would also have smaller things, non existent issues bothering you. Everytime you heard something on the news about a terrorist threat you would fear for your life. Everytime you heard about an outbreak of flu you a cold shiver would go down your spine. You would be oblivious to people pushing agendas and profiting from fear. You would be complacent but ruled by emotional instability because logic would cease control your outlook on life.
He agreed and we both came to the conclusion life is fine knowing the world is corrupt, it's a good life not respecting police just because they are police. It's a good life questioning the motives behind peoples actions. Because in the end, you can at least go knowing you lived through life with self-respect.

I do fear the future generations will be happier believing in the system they have known there entire lives. The more society is controlled, the more future generations will believe in the system. What is going on now I don't think is targeted to anyone over of the age of 20. I think the true benefit to the elite class is the effects it will have on the future generation.

Man you missed a whole bunch...

What about all the cameras EVERYWHERE? In many intersections there's cameras now, keeping an Eagle Eye on us all. Or, how about, in all Walmarts there's at least 7 cameras looking at you as you park your car.

On your average every day going to and from work, you're picked up on about 13 cameras.

How about in many of our schools there's not only metal detectors (which are popping up everywhere), but there are also guards and, get this, more cameras! Woo-hoo! Cameras, I love cameras, don't you? You should!

And don't forget about GPS tracking our every moves! It's in your car, its in your cell phone! It's in your computer, it's in your laptop! Our TVs??

What about the new measures to log onto your laptop soon? Yep, soon you'll need to give your fingerprint to log onto your very own computers. Hmm, imagine the database they'll be able to build from THAT!

And speaking of finderprints, you need to give one to open an account at your bank now a days...don't forget this little every day thing we've become used to.

Yes, the walls are closing in, and closing in. Just wait for the next False Flag --our liberties are gonna go right out the window. By the way, don't stand too close to that window, the satellite can pick you up and see you, lol.

The camera's are a great point. Also, The American government has already been spying on its citizens through the cell phone and internet providers. In Canada they are trying to pass legislation in the house of commons to make it mandatory that internet services providers log each customers internet activity for a set amount of time and also give police unrestricted access to that database. They claim it is to fight terrorism, weapons trafficking, and pedophilia. Although I think it is more to do with copyright laws considered Canada has none that protect digital information. We are a 'haven' for pirated information as the authorities so eloquently put it.

The upgrade in the systems in which the cost will be incurred by the Isp's will surely be passed onto the end user as well as making everything you do online void of privacy. Even though I grew up during the time when the internet was just started with bbs etc, I tend to think of it like a large voice chat, the difference is information is being passed and regardless, it should be a private communication as long as the users on either side choose for it to be. I do admit the internet is a public forum but it should be private if one so chooses. You are limiting and monitoring communications between parties. That is really unbelievable when you think about it.
