5 Rules For White People With Black Friends

http://www.atlredline.com/5-rules-for-white-people-with-black-friends-1737903792

My white friends already know them, but as a public service, here is how a white friend needs to help out a black friend so that your boy doesn’t end up as another victim of cop-on-black violence.

Rule #1: Do Not, Ever, Leave Your Black Friend Alone In A Broken Vehicle
When it’s late at night and your car is broken down, white people are afraid of ghosts, or axe murderers, or bears or some s**t. Black people are worried about the cops. The cops are the most likely thing to hurt a black person in that situation. Late at night, cops are jumpy, and scared, and authorized by law to shoot black people first and lie about what happened later. The only thing that might stay their trigger finger is a white person. To a cop’s eye, a white person might be in trouble and in need of assistance. A black person is a freaking target and a threat who matches the description of some BS....

Rule #2: Do Not Ride Dirty With Your Black Friend Behind The Wheel
Getting stopped for driving while black usually doesn’t end with the stop. It starts with the stop. It ends with the cop (or cops) tossing your car looking for what’s causing the “suspicious smell” in your vehicle. One time, I got stopped and the cop asked me what the smell was, and I told him I just had my car washed, and then he said that washing my car didn’t get rid of the “smell of drugs.” And then when I said that he was twisting my words, I ended up outside of my car with his knee in my back while his partner pulled up my seat cushions....

Rule #4: Do Not Leave Your Black Friend Alone In A Venue Black People Aren’t Supposed To Be At...
You know how girls all go to the bathroom together so one of them doesn’t get raped while she’s waiting for the group to come back? That’s how it’s got to be when you take your black friend to the NASCAR race, or the ‘Bama game, or, like, Corpus Christie. I’d say that you should hold hands, but that’ll get your ass kicked just as easily.
