‘A Black Man’s Guide to Survival’ - Rule Number 1: Comply now, contest later.

Read the article. Why is there a special guide for how black men should act around cops

When does the pale man, brown man, and blue man edition come out?
 
I read the article, unless you just an absolute savage, staying calm shouldnt be a change in behavior.

This article isnt saying look down at the floor and call the officer, sir and ma'am, its just say stay cool.

How many time you have to touch the stove before you realize its hot, bucking aint gonna get you anywhere.

I mean do you really think you gonna talk the police out of their discrimination? Oh you gonna slap it of them?

I understand what is being felt, I feel it too, but you cant be out here making emotional decisions that could cost you your life. Thats dealing with ANYONE, not just the police.
 
What's hilarious is that the sole Asian dude in here fully understands the implications of this & others don't :rofl:

Look at the OP. Bait thread if I ever seen one.

They probably don't want to end up on the news as a person choked to death or shot.
 
This is very important and very necessary. Our boys and our men ate not equipped with this vital information to survive in a world that is programmed to fear them. We could go into why they don't have this information, but its pointness. The thing that matters is only that our men need this information. I can tell you first hand that being equipped with this information is the plays a huge part in my success today.
 
Thing is i kind of agree. Because the change necessary is very far from reach. So, i think he wants to convey the message that in the MEANTIME, minorities will have to do what they say and go with the "lawyer-up" or file a complaint route, if cops act out of order. 

Because remember, we break the law they send us to jail/court. They break the law they usually have guns and get to shooting. They dont fight fair.

Don't be a doormat. If you're out in public and a cop decides to get his Vic Mackey on and you know your rights, don't go off on them but don't consent. That's the basis of whatever claim you'd have. If there's people around, I'd state that I don't consent loud as hell as well as ask for the grounds on which they're sweating you. Unless they've got guns out and pointing at you, you have to stand your ground. While it's a given that White cops are the league leaders, any cop can catch that God High from the badge and will pull chicanery.

The problems with comply now, contest later are these:

1) If a cop is doing something illegal, depending on the action, it can be nipped in the bud by stating that you don't consent. Cops are trained to use manipulation to get around the rights that the innocent and guilty have. Theoretically, complying can be used against you when you take it to court. Internal affairs and the Blue Code already give police a cheat code (I call it the Pork Pass) as it is and by indulging a power trip, you likely kill your chances in court.

2) Compliance doesn't mean you'll be safe. As has been going on decades and more openly the past couple years, cops know that the Pork Pass afforded by the Blue Code will save them short of committing terrorism. Even animals and people who are not only innocent but were nowhere near the scene or have any semblance to a known suspect can be killed because a cop is having a bad day or feels a certain way. Of course, we know what they'll do even when a guilty person is subdued and in custody.

So what should a black man do?

That's a question we have yet to find the answer to unfortunately |I

If you're Black and have to have an unpleasant encounter w/ police, you have to decide if you want it to end badly or worse; that's the only sliding scale we have.
 
"Contest later" has achieved what grounds so far? seems like they're basically all swept aside.

Not that I disagree, easier to fight when free or alive. I'm seriously just asking how do we break this cycle? whether we fight, or comply it all goes nowhere. I couldn't imagine that it would have gotten worse, but it has. It's like the more we do, the more they scream "**** you" louder and louder.

I'm passionate about this but I will never know what it's like to be black.

However, I will not pretend not ignore what the OP and that article is implying

Im Filipino. Above all else I am human. And I can tell you right now a lot of police officers and apparently NTers do not view black people as humans.

For a country built on civil disobedience, people place a lot of emphasis on black people "asking for trouble".

So I'll place his comparison again:

White person parades around town w automatic weapon.. Is exercising rights.

Black person gets pulled over for "fitting the description". Well just comply and you'll be fine.


How many dead black people have complied with the oppressor and have had their lives taken anyway.


But yall ain't out here telling Brad or Katie to be respectful and comply.

The very suggestion of this guide the OP pasted implies something very unfair about black people.


But sadly it's something that people refuse to have a civil discourse about.

What are YOU implying?

Black people should take on the police?
 
Are you dense.

I'm not implying anything

I'm saying something loud and clear:

STOP TREATING BLACK PEOPLE LIKE UNCIVILIZED ZOO ANIMALS. ITS THE POLICE WHO NEED A GOD DAMB GUIDE ON HOW TO APPROACH A CITIZEN NO MATTER WHAT COLOR.

YOURE LUCKY IM ON ONE LAST WARNING WITH METH

Did you even READ what was posted?   The author of the book, who is BLACK, wasn't ignoring the injustices faced by blacks nor was he excusing improper police behavior.  So I don't know what YOU think he's trying to imply.  Read specifically, the below from the interview:

The book is subtitled, “A Black Man’s Guide to Survival.” Why focus on men?

The tools in this book can be used by anyone, but it’s geared toward men of color, and the reasons why are obvious. I don’t think I need to list the names of all the black men that have died in confrontations with police recently.

Should police also be responsible for adjusting their behavior during these encounters?

It’s always the police department’s responsibility to act without bias, so I’m not giving a wink and a nod to bias or prejudicial behavior. I’m recognizing the reality that it’s going to take time to change that. It’s absolutely the police department and the police system’s responsibility to root out bias, racism, and profiling, 100 percent. But during the time it takes to root that out, over the next 10, 20, 50 years, how many lives are you willing to sacrifice?

Have you received feedback about the non-confrontational message of the book?

Some people take this as I’m asking them to be a coward or swallow their pride, and I tell them that it’s a false equivalency. This book is about teaching young people how to position themselves to fight this battle.

Have people expressed a desire for more confrontational methods of dealing with police?

Sure. But what do you get from trying to beat up a police officer? You have no bragging rights for beating up a police officer. There are two types of people who beat up a police officer: number one, the person’s dead. Or, number two, they’re talking about it in a prison yard.
 
You're so prejudice based off your growing up and getting picked on by black people so maybe you need to step back and reread and think about the implications of this article.

I read it loud and clear.

Ahhhh the good old but yes black. Some of the most anti-black people I know are guess what... Black

Wait..what? So you, being a Filipino, is suggesting that the author of the book, who is black, is in fact anti-black based on what YOU think are the implications of the article?
 
Yes. And it's not me being Filipino, it's me being cognizant of how society and prejudice works.

These SWS get funnier everyday I swear.

Hey can you post a guide for how Muslims should act at the airport next please. My Arabic brothers might need to be educated
 

According illuminatzi black police officer ain't anti black cuz he black

What's funny is that you're accusing me of being a SWS, all the while claiming to be more cognizant of how society and prejudice works over a black man despite the fact that you're Filipino.  Is your mom Rachel Dolezal by any chance?
