Hidden Racism
So here's the set-up. Saturday night, the Mac man and one of his boys had just stopped at the local McDonald around midnight before we headed out to the next bar. It's just a little before midnight, and this McDonald is in the center of a college campus. No, not a residential campus either, a commuter campus, a city campus rather. Something similar to NYU for my New York people, or UIC for my Midwest people. Now, you know the Mac man is in Boston, a white city, on a college campus.
Mac grabs his burger and fries, and gets a seat near the window, because I must see who is coming in and out at all times, in case I need to start running. Well, here comes a policeman with his sirens blasting, flying down the road, and pulls up right in front of the window. **Although I knew I didn't do anything wrong, and he was outside while I was inside, yes I did immediately sit up straight, and check to make sure I had my walled (w/ license) in my pocket. I don't trust the man**
So, the cracker cop pulls up, and starts kicking at the wall. The Mac and his boy are thinking WTH, what am I missing here? He kicks at the wall for a while, and then he pulls out his flashlight, points it at the wall, and keeps kicking it. After about 5 or 6 minutes of kicking suddenly the wall stands up, and I realize it's a person he's kicking and not the wall. **@ this point I realized this person had to be white cause there is still only one cracker here. Black men never get just one cop, we get a minimum of two** So this BUD (hospital talk for BU Drunk) kid stands up, and he is struggling. Remember those old Michael Jackson videos, how they leaned so far but their feet never move? Well, that's what this kid looks like, he was way past drunk. **Ok, last aside, but....Where in the hell were his boys at? They just left his ass drunk on the corner in front of a McDonald?**
Now this cop begins to have a conversation with the kid, except the kid is drunk and he never says anything back, he just kind of stands and stares, finally leaning on the wall once he realizes he can't stand on his own power. Cracker cop talks to this kid another 10 minutes to no avail. Finally, he reaches in the kid's back pocket, and pulls out his wallet. Then, he goes through the license, checks for his name, and ask him more questions. BUD still doesn't answer, instead he leans on the wall, clearly past his limit w/ no concept of what is going on. Another 5 minutes goes by, and realize here, that this is still just the one cop and BUD, still no back-up, and at least twenty minutes have elapsed.
All the while my boy and I are saying, they gotta put his ass in jail to sober him up. Or at least put him in the squad car and drop him off at home. Never though, the cop keeps on talking to him. Finally, once myself, Malcom Mac, and my boy finished our meal, here comes another squad car running down the street. However, let's just say we took our time watching this unfold, because Mac man loves to see one cracker put another cracker in jail. Yet there was still no resolution.
Black people, let's just take a short internet poll here. Would they have: put us in jail, gave us a ride home, or called us a cab? Hell, would we have been there that long with just one cop? I felt abused and I wasn't even involved in the incident.
