More racial profiling in the South - BlazerFan11 - 04-06-2012 09:55 AM Quote:Tyler Perry's April 1 Facebook post about police pulling him over was no April Fool's joke: The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/06/tagblogsfindlawcom2012-celebrityjustice-idUS59773884520120406 There's just no other possible explanation than racism. The whole "turning left from the far right lane" and him acting paranoid things are just cop-outs. These cops' racism must have been really strong to be able to see his skin color through the tinted windows. RE: More racial profiling in the South - DrTorch - 04-06-2012 10:24 AM I got stopped in Tucson when I swerved to miss a car that turned into the middle lane (7-lane hwy) where I was driving. I'm pretty sure I was being profiled.

Don't resist, you hear me? Don't make any quick moves, don't run, you just go.'" Same advice my mother gave me... but I'm white so she told me to look out for Black police officers... RE: More racial profiling in the South - smn1256 - 04-06-2012 10:53 AM When I was driving from Cali to Texas a cop stopped me because the lights on my trailer were out and he didn't want a big rig to drive up my ass at 2AM when I couldn't be seen. I'm sure he wouldn't have pulled over a brown guy. RE: More racial profiling in the South - smn1256 - 04-06-2012 10:54 AM and BTW, Perry's an idiot.

RE: More racial profiling in the South - RaiderATO - 04-06-2012 11:01 AM I'll wait for Owebama to weigh in on this so I can form my opinion... Maybe it's time for another beer summit. RE: More racial profiling in the South - Native Georgian - 04-06-2012 11:03 AM I don't know which two officers pulled Perry over, but Atlanta PD has been under political control of African-Americans for 30+ years now. RE: More racial profiling in the South - Fo Shizzle - 04-06-2012 11:04 AM Too bad he did not get into an accident with that dumb*** move and get his ass sued. The arrogance of celebrities never ceases to amaze me. Get a damn driver and security Tyler...it is not like you can't afford it. RE: More racial profiling in the South - Fo Shizzle - 04-06-2012 11:11 AM The fact that this guy is that highly paid should tell us just how BAD the entertainment tastes of America have fallen. Honestly, I have tried to watch a couple of his things with an open mind. Horrible...just Horrible. I never got as much as 20 mins. in...either time. I guess he has found an audience that gets his stuff...kinda like Spike Lee?

Why they are even 'investigating this' is beyond me.. The guy made an illegal turn, admits to it, and got pulled over. Then in a car with dark tinited windows he talked about being followed... Where is the racism?

It happened to a minority, pure and simple. RE: More racial profiling in the South - Paul M - 04-06-2012 11:25 AM The racism here is just as clear as in the Martin-Zman case.

Perry, on the other hand, is about as funny as someone punching your grandmother.

Correction: Perry is less funny than someone punching your grandmother.

The ol' "Guy who doesn't even know I exist makes more money than you" trump card. Classic. In your face, smn!
