You don't know your history. The discrimination you are talking about happened to immigrants coming into America from Europe in the late 1800s. But the ones who came before did not for example Andrew Jackson who became president was born two years after his parents immigrated from Ireland. And though they faced discrimination they could change their names lose their accents and no one could tell them from other white Americans. Black Americans never could do that. Nor where they lynched by crowds well into the next century. It is not the same thing. They were not targeted because they were white.
His birth certificate certainly does matter no other president or candidate ever had to go through this not after showing the same birth certificates that every other citizen born in Hawaii uses to prove citizenship. And no it is not a democrat/republican thing. In 2008 democrats were not screaming to see McCain certificate and he was born in the Panama. I have not read one blog, article written by a liberal demanding Ted Cruz prove his right to run for president what I have read is the hypocrisy involved in this.
If you are denying race had anything to do with this then you are either naive or deliberately ignorant.
I did say he had both white privilege and economic privilege. But there is enough documented evidence on the injustice in sentencing that minorities face. Black defendants tend to get harsher sentences and the death penalty more than white defendants. White defendants brought up on drug charges are offered rehab and probation for first time offences where minorities are more often sentenced to jail time for first time offenses.
I seriously doubt that in 2015 silver 2011 Lexus were stolen 36 times in that area and white and Hispanics steal cars too as a matter of fact there was a Hispanic gang of car thieves operating in South Miami at the time. But his example is far from being unique. I know another doctor who drives a sports car he lives in Parkland a rich neighborhood and practices in an upscale hospital he was pulled over several times last year for the same excuse. The only problem is his very expensive car is a custom build with a custom paint job. Go ahead and make excuses for why he was pulled over but it had to do with a black man driving a sports car. He was also hassled by the police when he first moved into his neighborhood when he was out walking his dog one evening. It seemed someone reported suspicious behavior. He was detained by the police placed in the cruiser because he had no ID on him. It took over 50 minutes to straighten it out . I walk my dogs every night too and I don't usually have ID on me either.
Like I said go ahead and twist yourself in knots trying to explain how this is not racism and how it does not happen often.
