Sorry for the long post. Just a little story as I know Angie reads here! On Friday my son was out with friends, I had a call to say he’s at the top of road and he’s been stopped by the police (guess what colour my son is to the 10 boys he was with) I ran up and a house up the road has been broken into a vandalised, they had video of my lad riding past the house on his bike, stopping, looking then riding off. Now in the video you can clearly see it was 2 of the boys that was stood there with him while they were questioning my child, same clothes, same bikes etc. now they let my boy come away with me, I had a word with him about the company he keeps and then he went back out, he then texts me to say ‘mum I was walking back up and they’ve put me in the back of the police car drove off and parked up’ I have a tracker on him so again I went to him. The same boys were stood around the car so I asked why my son when you’ve clearly stated you know he didn’t go in the house so what’s this about, they wanted to arrest him, wouldn’t let him out of the car. He was speaking to his sergeant clearly trying to get him to authorise an arrest. They ended up letting him out eventually and he was in tears. I didn’t want my son to distrust the police but they told him they were taking him home and didn’t. Now black people don’t like using the ‘race card’ but my son was the only child there with dark skin, they didn’t even bother the other boys who were stood jeering and swearing saying ‘it was me pig’ so to constantly have that conversation with our sons and tell them that they cannot behave the same way as their white friends is heartbreaking. So yes Angie, we may sometimes see racism that isn’t there but can you blame us?
wtf....
it won’t be last time and I’ve just got to prepare him for that
