One time during elementary school I was at a party and I covered my ears during a song (I think it was Snoop Dogg) because it was bad and the volume was up very high, and then a group of black girls came up and started harassing me by accusing me of covering my ears because the singer was black.

looool! I'm sorry but every time I see your stories i can't help but to laugh. What city did this take place?
I have so many I can't be bothered to name them all.
1. A mixed group with a chinese guy leading the pack pulled out guns on me on my friend, and said "you guys think your tuff? You don't have it we have it!" with the chinese guy telling the gun man to shoot me. Basically they got the drop on me and my friend and were testing our "gangster" cause we were black. We didn't even say anything to them in the first place to warrant the gun being drawn let alone a conversation.
2. Police pull out guns on me and a different friend because apparently some kids said they seen black guys with guns. The kids didn't point us out, didnt describe us or even indicate it was us. The police seen that we happened to be in the area and "fit the description". 2 hours later after being dragged on the wet ground, kicked stomped and clothing torn, we were released with no charges.
Another time police rolled up on me and my friend because apparently, they are just randomly stopping people to make sure they aren't in violation of any court orders.

[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"] I was welcomed here with open arms. It was actually a Clinton administrator official that gave my family visas to come here. I will never forget that. DevilMightCry
I'm really glad you made it here.
Thanks. That means a lot coming from you. I mean that respectfully. I know I act like an ass sometimes, but I feel like Americans here have no idea what's it like to lose your liberty, freedoms, and family, and means to protect yourselves, just because a tyrannical government can take it away for its ideological purpose. I feel very strongly about the USA, and that it is truly the last barrier for liberty and freedom. Even though its flawed, its still better than all other countries. Trust me. Sorry, I went on a rant.
I know we have deep political differences, but we can agree on one thing: we love America. I'm happy for anyone who can escape such atrocities regardless of where they happen.
My grandfather was sent to a labor camp in Nazi-controlled France for being Jewish and nearly died, so I do have a connection to that kind of persecution. If my grandfather hadn't escaped to Morocco and into the US through Bermuda, I wouldn't be here.Â
[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"]I was in a concentration camp for 7 months because I was profiled. DevilMightCry
In the U.S.? Because you're a Bulgar? Did they think you were Niko Bellic? No. This was during the war in former Yugoslavia, in Bosnia. They put me, my dad, and my uncle in a middle school - turned into a camp, along hundreds of other mostly males and tortured us. My uncle was executed. All because we were under the assumption to be either catholic, or muslim. This was 20 years ago.
Wow, that's...wow. Â Really tragic. Â I can't imagine going through something like that.

That's really messed up. Â The second instance sounds a lot like police brutality...
Yes, I have had a couple occasions where black and native people assumed I was racist because I was white and refusing to give in to their demands.foxhound_fox
what sort of demands are you met with from black and native people?

I've been profiled because of my age and gender. I remember coming back through customs and spending about 30 minutes answering question after question. Apparently, young single men travelling alone raises red flags with the border patrol.
I am a black man living in the United States, of course I been racial profiled. Pulled over by cops for no reason other than they think I am a drug dealer or something. Followed around stores because they think I am gonna steal something, white women clutching their purses thinking I am trying to grab it and run etc. white people have no idea the BS blacks and other minorities have to deal with on a regular basis.

This times 1000. White people don't believe this to be a fact unless there are some released statistics approved by scientists and ran on CNN. Until then, its not a "widespread" issue.
I have often been falsely accused of being responsible for minorities being poor just because I am a white man. This may not be racial profiling in the traditional legal sense, but it is fundamentally the same thing.Laihendi
Similar here. I got accused of running the slave trade by a black co worker. I told her my ancestors during that time were indentured servants and possibly endured conditions equal to her ancestors. She freaked out @_@.
yep, as a indian who drinks cow piss, curry eater, coming from a piss poor shitty country plus many more insults in OT LOL.Â

Well I'm an Indian and a muslim and my name includes Mohamed and I have a beard so I guess that means I win but seriously I have been taken aside and searched during immigration in Heathrown Intl. Airport,Bangalore Intl. Airport,Dammam Intl. Airport(ironic) and Charles De Gaulle airport.They even took my PS3 from me to check if its really a game console in Bangalore Airport as I claimed.

LOL! Give me an example
Every single post from the now-banned user "Drasonak". Most of which included links to various articles where people in media and even in positions of political power were literally saying that white men are responsible for all the world's misery.

Way to racially profile.
Plenty of white people recognize these issues. Pretty much any reasonable, intelligent person would. The people you're thinking of are racists and bigots (inlcuding the police officers involved in these situations). Many of them are surely white, but that's not their defining characteristic. The racism and bigotry is the defining characteristic, and there's plenty of that from non-whites, as well. Case and point: Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Two of the most bigoted racists our of time.
It's happened a couple time. Me and my friends were talking at the beach when a cop came up to us for no reason and told us to stay out of trouble. I was so pissed at that. Apparently a group of black teens can't go to the beach without making a ruckus. Also on my birthday hanging at the mall with my friends some cop came up to us and asked if I was heading home soon. He really wanted us to gtfo even though it was 2 hours till curfew.
I always get stopped at customs going to Canada. Probably cause I have kinda tan skin from Having native american indian blood and i am usually kinda scruffy.Â
I Also used to live in East Oakland. I was the only white guy within like a twelve block radius. Black People have a lot of crazy preconceived notions about white people. We all laughed about it in time but they didnt what to make of when I first moved there. It was a great neighberhood tbh~
