Ok, here are some points why I don’t understand your argument, if that is what you are making:
- I am white (well, not really but that is how I woyld be classified) and in more than 40 years driving in multiple countries, including the US, I have never been stopped by police. How would that lead me to conclude that that has to do with me being a good driver or being white?
- Never, whilst I wasn’t stopped by police did it ocurr to me that that was because I am white, but you are black, and the first 2 times you immediatedly thought it might have to do with you being black.
- In the Netherlands, black soccer players, driving in their fancy sportcars get stopped regularly by police. Not so their white teammates driving similar flashy cars.
- How does ‘not getting a ticket’ lead you to conclude that they didn’t stop you because you are black but that you must ne a shitty driver? One might more logically conclude that this appears to confirm that they did just that, because if they stopped you for being a shitty driver, they would have stopped you for the infringements you made and thus you would have received more tickets! The fact that you received so few tickets, whilst having been stopped so often seems to indicate they didn’t stop you for being a shitty driver.
- Your advice to black kids to acquire marketable skills, has nothing to do with the question at hand, namely whether systemic racism exists. The advice is gratuitious and a non-sequitur.
- The above are just some of points where, I believe, your logic clearly fails. There are many other parts where I fail to understand the argument you are trying to make.
