Man Arrested While Picking Up His Kids: 'The Problem Is I'm Black'

Problem is male + black.

Obviously it has absolutely nothing to do with his being black. How many black mothers have the cops arrested for picking up their kids? How often does the school call the police over a black woman? Zero.

The problem is he's male, but he can't say that. He's been told his whole life that he can only be a victim by saying he's black, so that's what he says even though it makes no sense whatsoever here.

It's total bullshit that this happened, and I hope that bastard that tased him gets the shit beaten out of him one day, but holy fuck, that guy does not know how to talk to police.

It doesn't fucking matter what your legal rights technically are when the cops don't care and don't have to care. He basically played the 'AM I BEING DETAINED!?' card and never dropped it no matter how bad things got. If he had just given in and let them walk all over the rights he's supposed to have, he wouldn't have had a problem, except for, you know, bruised dignity.

It's not because he's black, its because our society thinks all men who are with kids without a woman/mother present are pedophiles.

Especially if its his young daughter. It happens to white guys too.

After watching this video I see a person that refused to cooperate with police. Maybe it was racism on the part of the person that called, but one thing most of these videos where "innocent black men" are being arrested, they were belligerent, moderately aggressive in their tone, and refused to cooperate. I would arrest a white guy if they acted like that. And the title is misleading. The picking up the children part is 100% irrelevant.
