Current Events > Race and police calls.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There have been a lot of topics about black people having the police called on them for seemingly no reason.

Everyone jumps on race right away and indeed a decent chunk least probably had some racial motivation to it.

However it's not the only thing that causes these kind of things. Some older people are highly suspicious of teens/young adults(not entirely an unfounded idea. Young men do indeed commit a larger amount of crime like assault and theft) in general are paranoid, extremely stupid or overreacted to some minor offense. Once and while they really did have reasonable reason to call if in the end there was no true threat

Occasionally more context does make the situation not as bad. Usually they are racist, zealous busybodies, or paranoid though.

Racism exists but we will make it worse by being too quick to label something as racism. It depends on the area and other factors but sometimes the "racist" actions you face all the time might just be that you are unpleasant in your actions to people. Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole and race had nothing to do with it. Racism accusations are sometimes just lazy mud slinging or politics.

Yet we cannot ignore racism either and sometimes continual harrassment and dismissal is really racism and not just a toxic personality reaping what they sowed. Some places racism on a personal level is largely gone whereas others are still a hotbed of ignorant hate.

TL:DR Racism is not the only form of ignorance and foolishness that motivates bad police calls and in general society misuses the term fairly often. But that does not mean it is not an issue that affects a lot of people. Logical contextual appraisal is always needed. Like MeToo overzealous pursuit of justice can trample many innocents in the rush.

I aknowledge multiple times in my post that Racism is still an issue. There are places where being black is indeed almost a de facto crime.

And my TL:DR is like four sentences compared to several paragraphs come on. Appropriate for such a large scale and multifaceted topic.
