1)you were in manhattanlast september i was stumbling around manhattan drunk as hell at 3am. not only did the cops i asked for directions not arrest me for public drunkenness, but i was easily able to catch a cab. because i'm white.
as does everyone else who works at the same place you do, regardless of race.I have to take today off work paid because it's MLK Day.
Yeah that sounds really rough man sorry to hear you have it so bad.I wouldn't call it discrimination, but standards are definitely set differently for different races. I feel much more is expected of me because of my skin color than other people. I'm white so that means there are no obstacles other than my own work ethic in my way to success. Same thing with being male.

White folks usually pick me for their team because I'm black. When they realize I suck at basketball they're disappointed. Disappointment is the problem.Doesn't sound like white people problems to me.
