So, the black lady on whom cops were called by a white student for sleeping in the common area is actually African. You know what I mean. For those who love to dissociate themselves from the experience of the Black American in Amerikkka, when you get there, as a student, businessman, hustler or whatever, socially you are no longer a Kenyan. You are seen by your skin color. Know how to carry yourself around if you intend to come back. Luckily my people know how to behave around cops. Salute mia mbili na unaita karau Ofisaa, Afande, mwenemutapa, mwenye sheria…hio heshima mkienda nayo kila mahali mtatoboa, lakini mjuage mapema that out there, you are Black and you will be treated based on the yardsticks used on black people. Azaelia Banks Juzi nliona akisema she was mistreated and mistaken for a Prostitute while on a tour somewhere in the middle east and I was like, what is a black female rapper doing in the middle east anyways ? Interestingly, a significant quotient of French rappers are of North African and Middle Eastern descent
Anyway, am sure the African lady is smarter and does a better course than hii racist Braasch Faggin. After all, Africans are the most educated Group in all of USA. Ata kuliko the stereotypically smart Asians.
Enyewe. I understand in the US its not a requirement of the law that someone hands in their ID when not yet under arrest. Lazima karau aseme uko under arrest for … ndo akuitishe you hand in your ID. Bad / racist Cops in the US just get pissed when a black person comes off as uppity to them.
So you want us to share in the black american metality of victim hood … I realy feel for them and understand their frustrations about being accepted into main stream america is weird… They should just work on empowering themselves and their kin but protesting that whitey is mean to us wont achive much racist will always exist
Yes hiyo ni attitude. Security wanaulizanga ID wajue wanadeal na nani. Hawakujui. Unafikiri wewe ndio trump ati kila mtu campus mzima anajua face yako? Hakuna mtu alimsumbua wakati walijua ni mmoja wao.
Case to point: I know someone who after an absence from work for about one month, came back to work to find the regular security guys had left and there was a new team. He drove to the barrier and the gang surrounded his car and ordered him out. He came out and was given a thorough frisk, mikono juu. They ordered him to unlock the trunk, and the glove box. He obeyed, all the while chatting them up and laughing with them. His staff upstairs heard his voice and came to the windows to watch him getting frisked and had the laugh of their life too. He later came upstairs and his staff were still making fun of the whole thing. His young bro arrived shortly after and they sir-ed him all the way in without any searching. They knew him, despite the fact that he did not even work there. You see my point?
I don’t want to share, Am glad you acknowledge. I just want people to know that once you are out there, its important to know that the same yardsticks meted on them will be meted on you. Unless you look like Jason Dunford. Coz majuu lazima watu waende. Biashara nininini…but wakae kujua. Wasikae ignorant kama wale huenda Saudi Arabia alafu they get surprised when they are turned into domestic slaves. Thats what people sign up for once they ignore the small print on the contract forms coz of excitement ya kazi mpya majuu.
Kwa nini karao wali assume huyo mzungu ni student bila kumwitisha id na ati alikua anasema ukweli?
Ni kama mtu aite karao ati kuna stranger amelala kwa balcony ya ploti. Karao wakija unawashow unaishi hapo na hata unafungua keja yako. Bado wanainsist utoe ID! WTF?
Ni kama that tour bus that was had several students on it, and cops were called because there were 2 suspicious people on it. When the cops came, of all students only two were Native Amerindians. The cops went right to them. Apparently, the parent who called (she was white) claimed that the two Native boys were too silent, which made her think that they were upto something. Then the mother of the two native boys asks, how did the cops know it was the two native brothers even before they were shown who the subjects of the call were. There is no winning there.
Umesoma hapo venye @Antonio Mascaro amekushow, kuna sheria inasema unless the cop wants to detain you, then you are legally obligated to produce and show them the ID. Kama hujavunja sheria, they have no right to demand for your ID. That’s the law. Hii ingine ya oooh hawakujui, ooh wandeal na nani ni yako. And you as a civilian can demand to know his name and badge number and still decline to even tell them your name.
But the truth is, whites can do all that and nothing happens, but ikifika ni blacks inakuwa ni attitude…
Mimi nimeona vile wahindi na wazungu huzungushwa kwa sekta zingine hapa Kenya. Racism na tribalism ni kawaida. Inabidi uelewe hivo na kujibeba kwa hekima. Nikiingia sekta imejaa wasapere utaona nimeanza kuongea kisapere manake sitaki kuleta jam yeyote hapo. Kama wewe ni nyeusi na ujikute kwa sekta ya walami, same thing. Tumia hekima. Jishushe ueleweke.
Kwanza unaona hawa watu huwa wanavalia maninja maninja especially wakati kulikuwa na visa vya vilipuzi hapa Kenya miaka michache imepita. Nikikupata mahali sijakutarajia umevalia hizo vitu umeficha uso sikuelewi nikuulizie wewe ni nani uanze kuniambia habari ya sheria na ID nitakupiga risasi ya uso.
Hapo hakuna racism just a paranoid student that is overly concerned on the safety of everyone. Being a police officer in the US is challenging…if you ignore such a call and things go haywire you’re outed, investigated and sacked. If you show up you’re a racist. The lady who is getting you into shit isn’t even a citizen. WTF is wrong with these people?
Well, unlike you mwenye unaprefer kujificha, kuna wale wamechoshwa, kudharauliwa na kudhulumiwa… You are comfortable like that, others are not, so do not justify racism and tribalism based on your fear of consequences…
