Being a BLACK MAN in America in 2009 is a crime? Or is this 1809?

WOW IS THEY MAD CAUSE WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT??? OR STEREOTYPE AND DISCRIMINATION.

it is beyond sad how our black men are continuously being hurt because of their demeanor. I mean I truly agree is being black a f**king CRIME?!?? these WHITE people are doing the most and they need to be put behind bars, it’s ridiculous!!!

Its time to lock and load. I bet theses was sum so called good white ppl who called the kkkops

Its time to kill everything that’s white that’s in sight that AINT RIGHT.

What the phuk they shake they hands foe. Mutha fukas can’t even kiss my azz

THAT IS SO MESSED UP!!!

Ha ha. They better get like Miami. In 2007 and 2008 cops were gettin dropped like bad habits. The funny thing it didnt increase police brutality, actually lowered it. Go figure

yes Kobe Gaint..lol you bigger than Shaq now hommie big up on ur win ……..one luv

WOW, WOW. WE NEED TO CALL THE POLICE ON EVERY WHITE GUY THAT COMES IN THE BANK IN A SUITE AND TIE OR A LONG BLACK COAT.
THE WORKER WHO CALLED THE POLICE NEEDS TO LOSE HER JOB AND UNDER THE DAMN JAIL HOUSE.

I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS REALLY GOING ON, BUT STRAIGHT UP JEALOUSLY.

What makes me mad is that reporter asking him if he has a record. Just like he said…Why does that matter? Is she trying to justify the fact that he had guns pointed at him because he had a record. Not only are you black but you a black criminal so it’s not like you have any rights. The bank tellers didn’t know he had a record and neither did the cops until he told them his name. He made a well stated argument as well showing that he wasn’t just some dumb “gangsta” This world is crazy

IN THE INTERVIEW I WATCHED. THE REPORTER ASKING DO HE HAVE A RECORD. wHAT THE HEL THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE POLICE BEING CALLED ON A GUY WHO OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT. SHE WAS STEROTYPING THIS YOUNG MAN FROM THE JUMP. SHE THINK EVERY BLACK MAN HAS A RECORD. SHE DID NOT HAVE to ask that question, but i guess that was her way to look out for the bank. see they look out for each other come blacks let sick together NOW

Still singing “we shall overcome” or “Koombauya”?????

that tells you that racism still lives til this day but they do it in different situations. Its time for black people to reunited & propect ourself & stop killing our own people.

hi i study international probems and solutions with black people and what i have come to read, study, observe, research and experience is that black people are facing many violations, abuses, and murders because the white criminals, white gangs, and white terrorists are given secure jobs which they shouldn’t.so with that these white, very extremist and racist violaters are not being punished severly with death to there heads, major high fines and very very long jail times. once black people take action to fight for extreme punishment with self defense or through the law, courts or justice by getting into the rascist white systems and cleaning the house with justice for the freedom to live, black people will always get abused because america is for white people and against blacks because we are not slaves anymore and that is the truth. and when u understand and know the truth u can feel much better and work on the problems. then things will get better trust. but all black people have to be a m l k or obama in there own way or else u could be next. black people have to use there power, mind and energy to fight these problems and protect our people from cruel crimes from people like white, indian, arabian, latin or asian people all over the world. these groups violate 2 for racism. it could be u next. please comment or send me a email at tariqueslife@aol.com. i wana hear u 2! tell me what u think. thanks

People tend to complain about black people posting offensive comments to articles like this. They say black people are the most racist race and act like we always the target. History clarify the start of hatred between us. How many white people tried to sacrifice their life to assassinate Barack already? Why should black people hold back their anger when hateful acts like this happens everyday. We will always be hated no matter how we act because it’s not how we act it’s how we look. Barack is a prime example, We have seen more racist acts towards him than any other president. He don’t attack back instead he ignores it and obviously the attacks are getting worse.

The woman that was interviewing him need to be slapped. What the hell does him having a criminal record have to do with anything? Like he said they didn’t know he had a record until he gave his name. Bottom line…..Black Americans are still being judged on the color of their skin. The fact that we have a Black President don’t mean shyt to America cause they still bangin on him with racist emails being distibuted, comic strips, etc….The people in this country are never gonna change regardless to how many say, “my best friend is black,” or “my wife/husband is black.” They see Black Americans one way and one way only…being called a ni99a is always a breath away!! If Black Americans would stop being violent towards each other and act as if we got some sense then it would give them less to talk about and less to judge us on.

Kostco Quote – WOW IS THEY MAD CAUSE WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT??? OR STEREOTYPE AND DISCRIMINATION.

….Naw they are mad because we have a black president and every minority now is living good which is what they don’t like. They want to see us suffer and tear each other apart. I know they were surprised when the Inauguration happened and out of all the black folks there, there was no riot. Honestly i will say this now to all minorities not only just blacks….if you feel that you are being threatened by an officer under any circ**stances beat them down (DO NOT KILL THEM). Let them see how it feels to be like us living our lives minding our own business. I bet all officers on the force were little b***h ass nerds who always got pushed around by bullies in their youth. And when they got older decided to be a cop and f**k with everyone that’s a minority (or in their eyes “criminals”) Motha F@ka Please!!!….MINORITIES NEED TO STAND UP AND DEFEND YOURSELVES AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE THEM!!!

What does his jail record have to do with him opening a bank account?! Slap the b***h ass reporter for asking the “victim” that dumb ass question!

I WANT A COP OR ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO READ THIS THEY ARE PIGS DIRTY PIGS THEY BIG AND BAD BEHIND THE BADGE THAT IS MESSED UP HOW WOULD THEY FEEL IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT BUT ONE DAY GOD IS GOING TO GET TIRED OF THIS AND THOSE DIRTY STUPID BEHIND PIGS OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK DIRTY ASS PIGS

That b***h was getting personal. That’s all it was! She was asking if he has a criminal record, because her parents are probaly detectives or some s**t! And while she was giving this BLACK MAN her undivided attention. She became wet! An image of her father became vividly clear to her as she squeezed her inner thighs tighter. She was reluctant to forget that she was being recorded. Finally, with the grass being low, the snake was shown. You know what she asked him? He should have told his accomplice (that b***h), to turn off the camera! And to have her folks expunge his record. A PETITION TO SEAL AND DESTROY TOO! But on the real! She needs a 115 and to be slapped with a spread……….

This is beyond a shame. I don’t understand why black people are being treated like this. It is a shame that people and the police are allowed to racially profile a person, and than act like it is no big deal. After President Obama was elected I guess some of us thought that we had broken some barriers but in reality we have not. Will we ever be seen as being equal to white people. When are these racists going to realize that each time they focus on black people, whether male or female they are allowing the real criminals to get away with their crimes. This is just shows how ignorant people are and how times have sadly not changed at all. When are we all as people going to realize that everyone bleeds red, we are all the same but are different races. This country should feel shameful and embarrassed that these incidents continue to occur. I can’t and will not hold my head up high because I am from the US, because as I see it we have nothing to feel proud of.

This is just a prime example of how racisim still exist in America today!It started with the silly ass bank calling the police and the brother coming in the bank.It ended with the dumb ass reporter asking that stupid ass question that had no relivance to what went on.We can’t really blame the police because they are just as ignorant and blind as the bank and the reporter.America and black americans need to wake up and stop sweeping racisim under the rug.This is a BIG problem in america that simple won’t go away as long as you have ignorance and ignorant people in charge! And sorry to say but true,most WHITE PEOPLE in america are ignorant and happen to be racist!!It’s fact not fiction!!

dead chick said i heard LMAO hell naw she was reachin and dude feed into it smh he should have said the hell you talkin bout when she said i “heard” it’s obvious they “the cops” aint tell her or she would have said the cops said you had a record from the start.. lot of foul s**t happening and it needs to be corrected..

MAYBE WE SHOULD OWN MORE BANKS.LAW ENFORCEMENT IS PRECONDITIONED TO BELIEVE,THAT THE BLACK IS ALLWAYS AT FAULT.

I just hope the Brother gets a good lawyer, sues the hell out of the bank, and gets PAID.

they do this because alot of people allow them 2 do that…. and all they gonna do is b*tch n moan to the media about it?.. u needed ya ass whooped cuz i know if a cop pulled a gun out on me that cop wouldn’t be exist.. wtf talking to the news and just talking in general gonna do bout it? stupid fuxx this s**t be happening for years.. and gonna continue 2 because of whimps like that..

That reporter is a complete idiot and he called her on her stupidity. The bank employee should be fired. I mean if the guys came in looking like they were gonna rob the place with ski masks that would have been one thing.But just because the guy said tap me 3 times which didn’t make any sense. Doesn’t mean they are gonna rob anything. It isn’t against the law to have a criminal record to open a bank account. How the f$$$ did the cops have the nerve to shake their hands afterward. I wouldn’t have taken it. Point an automatic weapon in my face for no reason and you will be speaking to my lawyer…

I’m not surprised. Nothing surprises me these days!

He might need to just leave his money under his mattress!!! Not tryna be funny or anything, but if that was me…I would never set foot in a bank again.

He should sue that bank and the law too.

only in America…

Racist bastards!! “you got a record” what? have you ever used the word “n****r” if so you will be marked a racist for the rest of your life..or at least until you are left here on earth to burn in %^^%..he should file a serious law suit against that bank for falsely accusing him of a crime by an established business that put his life in danger by a bunch of trigger happy cave men..attourneys will be all over this if they’re not already..If he don’t know someone should let him know he’s got a very good case..
{case in point} black man goes into walmart to return some shoes and was held up by security for suspicion of theft, and police was called only to find out that the man owned the shoes, as a result, man sued walmart for millions..just think; this is a bank! can you say PAY DAYYYY! GOOD LUCK MY BROTHER!!

This happens in America every day, all day in every city, in every town.

The BLACK MAN is always a suspect in the eyes of racist and prejudiced white people. You can even be dressed in a suit and tie — does not matter, if you are a BLACK MAN, you are immediately and automatically a suspect.

You can be a police officer, but if you are a BLACK police officer, you can be shot dead by your fellow white police officers because ALL BLACK MEN are criminals, remember?

“We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock; Plymouth Rock landed on us”

-Malcom X

Screw the media. They are just as racist as the cops to ask him if he has a criminal record. I am just glad that he had the intelligence to put them in their place. Racist bastards.

this is a shame

I am not going to fault the police in this case, they did what they are supposed to do when they receive such a call… The bank however its employees need a little more training in cultural and diversity awareness… These men were stereotyped/racially profiled before they ever opened their mouths and one’s criminal record is not in question when trying to open an account and served no purpose in this case…. this is such a shame… Are there any BLACK OWNED banks?

they look like thugs

Is this in Skokie Illinois? If so I can sure believe it. I’m not too far from there. And cops are racist as hell out here. And that reporter looked f*ckin stupid asking the guy if he has a criminal record. I’ve gotten pulled over before and they want to see my passenger’s I.D. My passenger is my 11 yr old child (who looks older than what she is) But the point is they do that because she is black. And yea, that guy should sue. Then stupid people who work in banks or wear a badge will think twice before they do that dumb sh*t again.

that guy is a idiot, what type of record? what a retarded thug

THATS THAT BULLS**T THE MEDIA RACIST 2…AMERICA IS RACIST….IT WAS BUILT ON RACISM….SO U THINK ITS CHANGED….LOL..THEY PASSED IT DOWN THE FAMILY TREE…..THATS WHY THEY SHOULD STOP TEACHIN THEIR KIDS 2 BE THAT WAY..STOP THE CYCLE….AND STOP THE CYCLE OF MENTAL SLAVERY

to the person or maybe even ppl who says they look like “thugs”…so what? anyone wearing urban gear looks like a “thug” but urban gear does not signify a “thug” nor does it justify profiling! this is just ridiculous! i could say so much right now, but it would take all night, so i’m just going to leave it at ridiculous

i study international problems and solutions for black people and i see that there are many violations and the offenders should be sued, fired and given jail time. the bank tellers, the policepigs and the reporters all should be sued to the max, fired and given jailtime for the many violations. the violations are civil and criminal. the civil violations are harassment embarrassment, discrimination, public release of record. by the cop, reporter and teller. the criminal violation: was the threat and health, to kill by the cop. they all are guilty and wrong and they have to pay for there civil and criminal violations that caused a loss and damages. he needs a good legal team. and when he gets one there asses are done. they will not get away with it because people are watching and they will get them.

the banks employees must be racist.

that is complete bull, they they should demand a public apology from the bank and sue the police department. What happened was demeaning and unsettling. What would have happened if they had not done what the police asked?

this guy spoke well…its amazing how the reporter tried to bring up his record when it was irrelevant. how u can look at someone and say “oh they look like they have a record lets call the polic” racism has become mor prevalent sense Barck Obama won presidency. This guy is giving the bank business and racist ish like this make people want to discontinue services. The media is full of it and so is America. and ppl say racism doesn’t exist ..BULL

who cares if they look like thugs? Anybody can rob a bank u idiots. People who aren’t thugs steal sh*t everyday so what the hell does that have to do with anything. Until them dudes pulled a gun or made a threat the police should not have been called. If we called the police on every suspicious looking person then we’d be calling they a$$ all day.

Ignorant people plz stop leaving dumb a$$ comments. no one knows how stupid u r until u hit post.

thi5 i5 krazy you 533 how them cracker5 do u5..we got to 5tay 5trong b^lack people and keep our heads ^.that5 all w3 kan do in thi5 krazy world..free all my brothers lock down in the pen that aint getting out.much love to all yall

Wow!!Thats crazy..If that was me..I would have to get at every party involved..I smell money from where I sit for these guys.An apoligy is an is not good enough.The news media looks bad..A Record has nothing to do with this at all..Straight labeling by looks..I would need an account for sure..to deposit the funds that I recieve from both parties..

OMG! I really don’t know why this is surprising to any of you. Racism is still prevalent in 2009, we could have 5 Black presidents and white people are always going to hate us and find us “suspicious”. Its categorically sad but things are not going to change any time soon.

These racist people know what they are doing. They all have positions in the banks, govn’t and judicial systems so that after they have commited a hate crime they can get slap on the wrist and told not to do it again and get off, while they go tell their partner to do the same and the cycle repeats itself. This will continue until the last one is standing. The caucasions will continue to do this to flare up the tension and get black people upset so they will break or coerce their laws so that they can send another black man away and rape and beat the females. This is why regarles of skin racial/ethnic groups, religion or skin color we need to come together for a greater cause. PROSPERITY! Amen.

HAHA…oh man, I love how he handled that situation with some d@mn common sense lol..I hate that racial profiling still happens in the US, but I’m glad that he didn’t try anything stupid and gotten himself killed. If I were him, I would pursue the situation and try to let as many people as I could know what’s really going on.

Every black person who bank at that location should pull,there hard earned money out of that bank.they are truly out of line.i would make sure that branch would feel my pain.

This is a dam shame…JESUS please be on ur way…4 real

That’s just whats wrong with the world today and the people in it.Those people in the bank was wrong and so was the cops.What they need to do is stop profiling.And I hope they learned a lesson from this because some could have lost their life over the way they look.

thats so f**ked up..u kno what they tryin 2 say all black men who go into backs rob the…f**k them thats bulls**t!!

These niggas was just tryna get an account so they can get their SSI checks deposited into the account without having to wait til it came in the mail. LOL JK, but for real, i think this s**t is crazy. black people can never do something postive without white people involvin themselves with guns and tryna make an arrest. i smell law suit and i wouldnt have shook hands with they b***h ass. I wouldn’t have left there until i opened an account which is what they were goin to do in the first place and that would be the same account i would use to have my money sent after i sued they ass on da real.

thats what Wachovia and Suntrust are for! I’m trying to close my BOA accounts now

oh isn’t that f**king sweet. the cops feel like asses so they shake hands with them. I can’t wait to hear the public apology from bank of america

I understand this is foul by the police. Overreaction. But should police stop racial profiling? NO Because most crimes involve a black suspect and a black victim. So police will profile people of that certain color or ethnicity. Also, since we mane the “stop snitching” code so popular with the youth, the police HAS to PROFILE.

They so DUMB!!!

I see us rithing ovr every topic like rrrr i’m mad, but how many of us go back home, to our lives, and neglect to teach our children to avoid pit falls, & our history, and our African Culture, and our pride, what is true beauty, how many of us warn our daughters that if they go ovr their and punk out sleeping with them that we will disown them? how many of us teach our childrn to respect African American people, and to gaurd against other races who want to use our women in order to mock us, do we let their salesmen in our doors & make the black salesman wait outside, all of that is the practice of perpetuating wite supremacy. how many of us knw sum1 who sold thier daughter to sum1 outside our race for sexual gratification & did not follow them turn them in & yank that child from them, how many of us fail to police our neighborhoods when straingers outside our nationality enter our domains? They will continue to push until we push back. but we must stregnthn our youth to date & stay within our race, that is the thing that I do, I do not speak to ne women who date out of our race. There cannot be stregnth without stregnthing our youth to be wise, and to choose our own.

If you think things can’t go back they can, just by not watching, not suing, not teaching, not grounding our youths.

I have never fought with another black man. some find that strainge, I have knockout a couple of wite dudes a foot taller than me. of course I am a 3rrd degree blck belt in Kung Fu, but r we teaching our boys how, how to defend themslves,

what r thy going to just use their blck skin to win, they need to know how to fight.

Our daughters need to know how to follow our culture. that is the begining of the end of wite power, when we guide our youth right.

are there any black banks….wakeup blackpeople!

black planet!!!, please list all black banks on your main page like you did this story,wakeup blackpeople….

Incredible..People, it appears we have found a breach in the space/time continuum, and it’s landed us RIGHT BACK IN THE JIM CROW ERA!!! You appear SUSPICIOUS? No justification is possible. There’s a thing called probable cause.. What made them “appear suspicious”? Perhaps the COLOR of their SKIN, PLUS the fact that they were engaged in a legitimate PURSUIT? I see; we’re STILL supposed to keep our money under the nmattress, or in the cookie jar; better yet, just stash it in the TV in Unc’s room..Guess we don’t know/don’t care about compounded interest, etc. Sheesh..I’ll be sure NEVER to do business with Bank of America, and I’ll make sure that everyone I know that banks with them is aware of this story..SMH

Slap that white b***h for asking such a dumb ass question! That man did not walk in the bank with his criminal record pasted on his forehead. News stories like this show how ignorant white America still is till this day! Get a grip!

WOW thats interesting and similar situation which happened to me when I was ten years old asleep in a friends car. My friends went in to a jewelry store in california to purchase a wedding ring for his wife. The jewelry store did have surveillance and saw that I was faced down in the back set asleep they thought my friends were planning to rob the store. The police officers surrounded the store and waited for us to leave from the premises. They pulled the vehicle over a few blocks away I was awakin by several semi automatic weapons drown to my face.

Everytime I see a cracker with a badge im alarmed……Scarface “Cant Get Right”

I wouldn’t open up an account there.

SINCE THESE MF ARE TRIGGER HAPPY, SEND THEY ASS TO KOREN, OR IRAC, AND LET THEM SHOOT ALL THE F**K THEY WANT, S**T AINT SO FUN WHEN MF SHOOT BACK….

Man, everytime I try to limit my use of the words racist and racism, drift off into a deep sleep of denial, a racist rudely awakens me. It’s absurd that in 2009 a black man or black person period is accused of looking suspicious, simply because of skin color or mannerisms. What the . . .? That ignorant employee or employees and the policemen involved should be fired. This is ridiculous. Instead of moving forward and accepting differences in people, racists are reverting back to intimidation and blatant racism, using their misguided and often glorified positions of power to give a false sense of superiority to evoke fear. Really, take off the blinders.

We at war wit this beast and we aint fightn back. Nagas scared of revolution

At first I thought the chick was askin if he had a weapon, then when it cleared and i figured they were saying RECORD, I was like “What kind of nonsense is that?” Like he said, nobody can look at you and tell that you have a criminal record! There’s a billion people who look sweet and innocent and will be the ones robbin your asses because they DIDN’T look suspicious to u and fooled the hell out of some people.
To an extent I do not blame the pigs for piling up the way they did, but I do blame the sorry ass employers for over reacting like that. But it still doesn’t justify the things that were said to the men, but as we know, PIGS talk s**t like that all the time and get away with it ALL the time. I’m usually one to scream “SUE THEIR ASSES” for every little thing, (somethin as simple as cuttin to many hairs off my damn poodle) but whose really to blame for this one? I’m curious to find out what descriptions were giving to the Pigs to make them to react this way.

ironic, in bank of AMERICA you get racial profiled. that says something in it self. i can’t in my opinion put to much blame on the police this time. i put more blame on the employees of the back that made the call to the police because they thought they was suspicious. i truly would of wanted that reporter to ask the employees of that bank what made them think they look suspicious instead,this reporter is asking this dude do he have a record. real good reporting stupid ass that person will make anchor in no time.

oh P.S. to somebody that’s misinformed on here carver bank is a black owned bank. you can open an account in there.

salaam, Im gonna drop it some we can all understand. Situation 2009 , we still @ war not In Iraq or Afganistan, but here in Amerikkka..

Can we say LAWSUIT !!!! Can someone in Chicago please get these brothers a lawyer? As a young black male this shows that as a society racism is still alive and well maybe hidden…. some but still alive.

VOICE OF DMX = GRRRRRR!!! AGAIN WHITE MEN ARE KNOWN WELL FOR ABUSE ALL NON WHITES IT AINT NO JOKIN IF LOOK AT THEY ATTACKED VIETNAMESE, JAPS, JEWS AND AFRICANS THATS WHY BLACK HAIR OR NEGROID RACE FEATURES ARE POPULARITY IN THIS WORLD THATS WHITES AFTER TO ALL NON WHITES AND WHITES ARE MOST HATED RACE ON PLANET.

WHITE PEOPLE ARE TERRORIST!!!! REAL TALK!!! STOP BLAME PEOPLE OF MUSLIM IT NOW TURNS ON DEVIL WHITES

ANGIE STONE GOT SOOOO RIGHT!!!!!!!

Y’ALL SHOULD LISTEN HER SONG CALLED “BROTHA”

WHITE MEN ARE MAD COS PREZI IS BLACK NOW

dang thats messed up, brothers today can’t even open up a bank account,BUT its ok for them to ROB one!They need to sue that bank! smh.

I want to know who shook the cops hand after this was over….I’m not shaking your hand after you have a gun in my face and threaten to shoot me and I’m filing a law suit against the Police dept. and the bank…this is straight bull!!

This is not a rare case. If your black and you wear braids or a fro, you constantly get profiled. I had to make a complaint to SAPD because I had been ID’d by police over 7 times in 3 months.

dang this some bs cant believe it

YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND YOU CANT REALLY BLAME THE COPS FOR DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THE BANK ARE THE ONE WHO RACIAL PROFILE THEM. THEY GAVE THE POLICE THE DESCRIPTION OF WHO THEY SAY ARE SUSPICIOUS, SO THE POLICE RESPONDED NOT KNOWING WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON BUT KNOW THEY WAS CALLED FOR A POSSIBLE BANK ROBBERY. SO REALLY I WOULD SUE THE HELL OUT THE BANK NOT THE POLICE. THE POLICE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO SAY SORRY AND SHAKE THERE HANDS SOME POLICE LAPD WOULD NOT EVEN DO THAT.

Plain and simple….BOYCOTT! and if you are in chicago go to Seaway bank ….they’re black owned

eefortomorrow.com

Another black eye for race relations when will other races stop fearing blacks. what next the police get called out when a black couple try to buy a house or car? When does all this stop? I guess we have to wear a suit and tie and the ladies wear to a real nice dress to open a bank account.

Why is this reporter asking questions as if she don’t know what the hell going on? MISUNDERSTANDING? DO u have a record? WTF? Do u have a record to the point where ppl wanna know wats up? This B!tch clearly has no idea as to what is going on. This is the life we live as black men everyday. U can’t do sh!t without police on u

probably an old cracker b***h fearing two black guys who ain’t worrying about her old cracker ass.

You have to be freaking kidding me. You conveyed that people can’t blame the cops for doing what they do; had both men been white, do you think the teller would have labelled them as suspiciuos and called the cops on them; I guarantee the speaker of such a foolish comment would have a different story had it happened to him. I am a decent law abiding and self-respectful intelligent conducting young black man and a successful US Marine Staff Non Commissioned Officer and I still continue to be racially profiled because of who indecent blac males (thuggish wannabes) have stained and continue to stain our race, but knowledge is power and when I display amendments of the US Constitution and criminal justice knowledge to these rogue cops, THEY LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

we minorities or the majority of the ones getting harrased by people with badges WE MUST REMEMBER THEY FEAR US SO BE ON GUARD AND KEEP A CAMERA NEAR AND LEARN THE LAW!!!!

NOW YOU KNOW THIS IS SOME BS! WTF DOES HIM HAVING A RECORD HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM,SHE SOUNDED REAL STUPID ASKING THAT QUESTION. JUST LIKE HE SAID, THE BANK DIDN’T KNOW HE HAD A RECORD WHEN HE WALKED IN, AND EVEN IF THEY WOULD’VE KNOWN, DOES THAT MEAN HE’S ABOUT TO ROB THE PLACE. I WOULD DEFINITELY NEED A BANK ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE MONEY I’D BE GETTING AFTER I SUED THEIR ASS!

b*tchs

This is worse than racial profiling, or racism. Its the devil. laughting and throwing rocks at GOD. I be those divine-evils were loving that s**t. From the bi*ch in the bank to satin behind the guns.The only way to harm the devil is with knowledge of self.

PEACE

Always be aware, KEEP Camera @ ALL TIMES. UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE NEVER BE COMFORTABLE HERE, BE ARMED, HAVE A WAY TO RECORD ALL POLICE ACTIVITY. WEAR BULLET PROOF VEST, GO GET ONE, LEARN THE LAW , THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIS STUPIDITY.

wow This guy should sue the hell out of that bank, and the police Dept, even worst the police should file charges againt this back for abusing the 911 system. The bank should fire the employee who tripped. Once again all of this crap is because on the negative typing of black men in america on the news 24/7. What would happen if black cops went in and did that to white kids? We live in a time where gay rights trump the civil rights of a black man. Every other day cops are killing black men somewhere for some frivolous reason. Yet all Nancy Grace can talk about is missing white kids, the only thing that will fix this madness is when the feds file charges against cops. Damit they are killing Black men every day and knowone give a damn until death comes knocking at their door.

Just a shame, hings will never change…

It has been a war on our race for as long as I can remember. Ronald Reagan turned it into a federal offense to be caught or sell a certain type or amount of drugs in which they constantly allow to come into this country. make it so bad,you can be put away for life just because you name was in a conversation of any alleged drug dealer,they call they conspiracy. Florida is a right to work state meaning it is a the employer holds the right to fire you for any reason or deny you opportunity to work and legally support your self for any reason. Drug-Free work place is a employee testing for drugs in your system at the time of being offered a position;however many drugs,the worst drugs do not even stay in your system that long. Knowing most of us do not do those type of drugs such as cocaine and heroin,and other hard drugs and these people are running the world of work as well as the world itself. Many companies require you to pass a background check and if you are a convicted felon you might as well cancel christmas on getting a job that will pay you enough to survive and support yourself as well as your family;however we still have people stealing folks identity somehow. How is that possible when companies take so many steps to keep the “bad guys” out. S**t the dude that stole all that money from Enron was trusted to be in the position he was in,yet he still stole millions,go figure. Even wrost so companies will pull a credit report and use you financial challenges against you and deny you employment. Hello,have you ever thought if I had a somewhat decent job I would have never been in a position to “do what I gotta do” to survive? I persoanally have never had any major charges against me,I’ve never been to prison,I’ve never killed anyone,or molested any children,or robbed anyone yet and still when I try to get a job I can’t even put in an application because I’m a convicted felon. I have been outta work for almost a year and on the edge of really doin some dirt to survive. Lord knows I don’t want to but what other choice do I have. Even the local burger joint say if you are a felon you do not qualify for employment here. Damn I can’t even flip burgers,are you serious. Ish got so bad I just said f**k it i’m going to become a career student maybe i can create my own job when I finish. Most of yall on here speak of discrimination but you haven’t witnessed nothin until you have been down in the dirty. I’m from Florida,it don’t got nomore south than that and I’ve dealt with stuff like this all my life. It’s sad but it is what it be,what the hell really can you do bout it? make it so bad I got a account at B.A. it’s empty but I have one,maybe they will call the cops on me so I can so me a b***h and drag myself up out the muck. yeah right,I wish i would be so lucky. Oh and can somebody tell me WTF did him having a record have to do with the price of rice in China. That’s some bulls**t right there and they know it.

This makes me want to throw up…dude was just trying to get an account and some white girl bank teller calls the cops cause he LOOKS SUSPICIOUS!! Are we never going to GET IT RIGHT people? And yeah, he may have a criminal history, but he obviously had no warrants or pending trouble, I agree his past is irrelevant. I’m a 34 year old, white mother of 2, and i too have a criminal past, people fall into desperation and hopelessness and make mistakes sometimes…

Wow… let’s imagine I were in a bank, opening an account which I will be doing soon and the police barricade through in a rage, drawing their guns at me… how would I feel? Threatened, timid and all because the bank assumed I was going to rob them? I’d be beyond upset… livid and indignant only defines a touch of what I’d be feeling. What do they do after something like that? Apologize? Apologize with a $1,000 deposit as soon as I open my account and tell me I’ve been Punked. It’s a lot less than I’d sue you for.

Since Obama has gotten in office, police officers are even more Spokier than ever.Why are white folks so damn scary? They are the only ones that make horror films. lol But let them see 3 or more blacks together and they’ll call it a riot..

honestly how the hell can u treat a person like that because of the color of their skin ugh it makes me soo mad to be quite hinest the black men that i know are devoted and loving husbands and fathers and hard workers its rediculous to assume that because a man is black that he is going to have some kind of alterior motive or that he is a “bad seed” f**k that i know more white ppl than black that sell drugs beat women and do shady ass s**t… so all all the bastards out there who wanna hate show em whos wrong cause there aint nothin better than a good black man to make a woman feel good. to bad society is so full of bigots and close minded morons.

he need 2 sue them for that… i understand the po po hv a job but most f**k it up for the ones thats doin the right thang for the human race…

I can’t be mad at the white man for the predicaments that has befallen our black brothers and sisters. It is written in stone that we perpetuated, created these catastrophic events. When you no-longer care about the well-being of you neighbor, you’ve sanctioned the ill-treatment of the entire people as a whole. Black-on-Black crime is rabid in most metropolitan cities. We can quote the reason being economic simply because cities are the havens socioeconomic conditions that foster violence. Poor schooling, lack of community leadership, drugs, guns, and joblessness, are the antidotes to all the madness. The funny thing, brothers and sisters, is that we know all that. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. We all know that if you are not properly educated, your chances of making sound educated choices about your future, or the future of your children, are limited based on that fact alone. If you are poor, your chances, or your children chances of becoming rich and successful is limited also. As a people, how do we address this dysfunctional ism? The situation is real, and is continually perpetuating. When do we as a people say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?”

This is what happen when you stupid ass nigga don’t stick together,this would have never happen to two white boys.iam not suprize that one of them didn’t get shot just for being black.No gun or letter of a robbery but here come a bunch of trigger happy cracker with guns ready to shoot a blackman and brag about it at a local bar over hot wings and budweise
welcome to racist america. It just a matter of time before all hell break loose.

There go the so called liberal media in this country asking the guy if he has a record. How is that in any way relevant to the situation. Basically she tryin to justify what the police did. Fukk the Police n Fukk NBC News.

Fear is the main reason people get killed, they fear the lack of control, and they fear the loss of security, its amazing that when you see a black individual all of these insecurities become magnified at a glance, black on black crime has nothing to do with it, crime is crime, you think there aren’t two white guys killing each other for their meth labs, you think hispanics aren’t selling family members for freedom, and you think that asians aren’t pushing sweat shops in the thousands depsite its exposure, people are going to do what they want regardless of skin color, black men are dominant not by color but by choice, we don’t want to be passive, its lack of this trait caused the inflation of slavery from tribes that took pride in representing their space in time. Accountability is the only cure, each person is to be treated equal and judge equal if they do something wrong it wasn’t because they were black or white its because they made a choice that is only to be attributed to that individuals doing. Now that is not rocket science.

Yea buddy.. That was f**ked up…Especially when the woman ask if he had a record,like that justified the situation… I aint gonna lie thought,they was looking pretty rough..We gotta work on our appearances..I think once men get a certain age the braids and baggy clothes need to go.. Not a good look.. But anyway,all that wasnt called for and they should sue they ass.. Matter fact ,sue the b***h for asking if he had a record too….

I dont care WTF you are wearing you still cannot Judge someone on the basis of how they are dressed.People come from different backgrounds,cultures and we have the freedom to dress how we like.What are you suppose to put on a two piece suit to go open an account Hell No!!!Those women were just paranoid or had a guilty conscience on how they have treated African Americans it was’nt right.There we have it once again Racial Profiling in another form.people are so IGNORANT IT’S A SHAME

Somebody said we gotta clean up our image? With a white tee or a linen suit on, to them, you’re still a n@#$%$. If you’re drug dealer or the President of the United States, to them, you’re still a n$#$@. I you drive a Bonneville or a Bentley, to them, you’re still a n%$$#. That’s why after the ignorance of those bank employees by calling the police unjustified, all that white reporter could ask my brother was, “WELL, DO YOU HAVE A RECORD?….THEY SAID YOU HAVE A RECORD.” And by the way, I WOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA, IF I KNEW WHERE MY ANCESTORS WERE “STOLEN” FROM! Hold ya head Black Men, if you got ain’t got Jesus on your side, I don’t know how you make it out here. Nobody has our backs! I LOVE MY BROTHA’S!

That is the most ridiculous mess I have ever heard of. I hope that those gentlemen hire Lawyers and sue. What kind of bank does not have some kind of security that is some straight Bulls@#$!!!!

this is what black people get for believing s**t would change because of obama. people are always gonna feel they feel and nothing can change that

Sonya1681 I seen kkkrakas in the bank looking like the just got dragged by a freight truck through dirrt mud rocks nails and shyt. They have all kinds of bugs and shyr in da hair

Loks and braids and baggy clothes look good on us.

Goddamn we just can’t be and do us wit out being outcast. PHUK everything that’s white that aint right that’s in sight. PHUK em all and anybody that wanna ride wit em

it’s sad ,but it still happens no matter where you go,just today i was in a clothing store shopping ,i was in there for a while when i noticed the security guard following me around ,i just shrugged it off at first ,but in my mind i was like man i could be shopping at saks ,what am i going to steal out of marshalls,so i did the only thing i could do without causing a scene,i started following him.i should haveinvited him to the counter so he can see how we pay for our merchandise like normal people.

Damn shame! its neva gonna end, we’re alwayz gonna b targeted..America needs 2 wake tha f**k up!

Black men take your money where your respect is earned, if you have not learned it yet, skokie is a racist part od Illinois, is not a feeling it is the truth, What cops pulls a automatic weapon on you and then shake your hand, you two are the fools, because they were just waiting for you to act angry so that they could fire the weapon. The next thing that you should do is have all who are Black, move their Accounts to other Institutions of financial management. Oh, by the way did you get an apology from the Bank, HELL no you did not

that reporter lady needs her face slapped! WHAT THE HELL does the guy’s criminal record have to do with what happened? Is there a law saying that people with criminal records can’t walk into banks? HELL NO. She couldn’t have been interviewing me after some s**t like that. I would’ve cursed her ass out real good. They would have edited my whole interview out.

WHAT THE F**K…YOU KNOW WHAT…F**K NBC…F**K…NBC CHICAGO…I HOPE THE FBI F**KIN I SEES THIS S**T…ANOTHER BROTHER BURNED FROM WHITE IGNORANCE…THE REPORTER B***H WHO IS THAT SO I CAN FIND HER F**KING E-MAIL AND HARRASS HER …THAT’S THE KIND OF S**T THAT PISSES ME OFF…IT HAS HAPPENED TO MOST BLACK MALES…OH YEAH F**K THESE BANKS TOO …AIN’T THAT A B***H …I HOPE THAT DUDE FILING A LAW SUIT.

WTF…..When does having a criminal record has anything to do with you trying to open a bank account. That reporter needed a good ole fashion cussing out. And so far as that bank I don’t blame the brother for not dealing with them anymore && I hope he sues their ass. What about those so called nice white men that walks in the bank && rob their asses. That’s the suspicious one. Sad ,sad, sad when will this madness stop!!!!!

[...] moment….. NBC News if the video aint up here’s the link: Police Draw Guns On Black Men Opening Accounts | NewsOne [...]

man he need to sue them for real because this needs to stop NOW old dude in the video said the transaction was already done so he was done opening an account and they say he trying to rob the bank? Come on know how dumb do that sound? SUE THERE ASS

this is a damn shame.why is it that the entire nation of police STILL harrasing the blacks?when do this end?this could cause an incident much like the watts riots..and who will be the blame????of course my ppl.this makes it VERY HARD for the police who do their jobs in an orderly and FAIR fashion.not many ppl at ALL like the police because of this type of behavior..but lets face it.we need police for those who DO commit terrible crimes.imagine a world without them.

ITS SO SAD BUT,YET FUNNY…WHAT THE F**K WAS GOING THREW THERE MIND? HE WAS GOING TO ROB THEM,USING HIS MONEY,ID, & SSN? AND THEY SO HAPPEN TO BE BLACK,THATS NOT A REASON TO CALL THE POLICE. WHAT ELSE DID,HE DO OR SAY HEY,I WANT TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT & PULLED HIS MONEY OUT? AND THE SHOCK MADED YOU CALL FOR HELP. COME ON NOW-LOOK AT THE HISTORY ITS BEEN MORE BANKS ROBBED BY WHITE’S THAN BLACK’S.

This is yet some more ruthless racist bulls**t, i’m mad at the reporter..”I heard you have a record”…so what if he does. who knows what kind of record she got. Banks will become pissed when people start saving money in the mattress like the old days. People are getting ridiculous.

THIS IS REALLY MESSED UP BUT I FEEL THIS EVERY BLACK PERSON WHO HAS A BANK ACCOUNT THERE SHOULD REMOVE THEIR MONEY AND GO TO ANOTHER BANK.

all us blacks are criminals ask the white people …

When iz this world gona change.I personally think they r takin their anger out on blacks because we have a black president.get over and accept it! It iz what it iz!

this s**t hppens in pensacola,florida all the time i thought it was norm no one does anything about it.

THE CYCLE ALMOST STARTED AGAIN.

damm thats bluntly racists.. people just lose their fukkin minds cuz theres a black man in the white house…

Why should anyone be suprised? — They were in SKOKIE for heavens sake!!!!

What does his crimial background have to do with this matter and what the hell in this reporter’s problem? Will we ever to free of other’s hated?

Whats up that Bank of America? A blackman can’t open up an account without you all calling the police. (LOL). This is real crazy. I will never bank with you all.

trust me it’s gonna get worst and all you have to do is sue their asses if you live.. to tell it

This makes me feel that all the efforts put into the Civil Rights Movement,
all the efforts that Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.,Minister Malcolm X.,Meadger Evers,Rosa Parks and many other black leaders put into the movement and lost their lives trying to stop the hatred of white America which appears to be returning to our society today.Were their deaths in vain?
