White People Stole My Car
I Am Angry. White people stole my car, and the police did nothing about it. Why is it that in my town, an old woman can have her cat way up in a tree and get a fire team response in minutes, yet just because I live in a black neighborhood and report my car missing I get no quick response? White people stole my car today and I am so very angry.
This all started last week. Everyone in my neighborhood got a phone call that there has been an increase in robberies. The automated voice had some helpful tips from the police. Lock your door. Keep your valuables out of site. This is all common sense stuff you should do anyway.
And just because I say I live in a black neighborhood, a lot of ya’ll just assume that it is high crime. That it is not. I am a teacher and a precher. There are lawyers. Businessmen. Hard-working people.
But I guess it’s just too much to ask for a black man to call the cops and expect them to respond to a car robbery you are watching from your home. It took them 40 minutes from the time I called to send a cruiser.Â
I was awoken at 4:54 am because I left my car in the driveway. My daughter is in high school extracurriculars and gets up first. My wife follows her out and in our two car garage, the women get the safety and security of being inside. My car is nothing fancy but it is still mine!
I call in to dispatch and they asked me, here is what this woman had the nerve to let her lips smack out at me. She said, “Are you involved in any gang activity or drugs?” I guess my address popped up on her screen.
For those who do not know, black people only get shot and their cars robbed because they are in gangs. Heaven forbid a black, hardworking father is having his house robbed by two punk-faced, skinny leg having white boys.Â
I got a good look at them but I did not go out.  When you have a family, you don’t open the door to your home and put them at harm’s way. One quick bullet in my face and my babies would be at risk to these little Casper faced hoodlums.
So 40 minutes go by and the cops just laugh about it. “Tough luck, 2nd in the area this week,” the fat one said. They assured me I would probably never see my car again and to let my insurance company know that. A few more questions and statements later, they were gone and my family is down one vehicle.
I bring this story up today because there is a double-standard in America. People are growing a bit too comfortable being bigots again. I do not like Barack Obama, but can’t stand to see newscasters show racist joke after racist joke in his direction. I fight with my supposed moral Republican colleagues at CW Atlanta every day because I know they don’t like me because my skin, and that is alright.
You racist, car-robbing, melanin-deprived cancer prone cronies can act however you want, you aren’t going to take any of my rights. But these double standards are going to stop. If the cops had any decency and got there quick enough, maybe I would have a car.
And what ticks me off even more is we have these shows like Bait Car. They make it look like black neighborhoods are a Safari adventure, young black boys playing the role of prowling hoodlum panther, ready to pounce on the riches of white America.

But today we learned an important fact. As a black man, I cannot even call the police to help me protect my property, my Constitutional right to have and have protected by the government, in a timely manner. And it is because I am black and I am sure telling the dispatcher that two white boys stole it did not help them get their any faster.

why use a picture from a show i think mythbusters..not sure. any way if the cops took so long to respond to your call its probably because they had several calls or they didn’t have someone on patrol very close to where your house is at the time of your calling

It is the lead picture to my article, that is why. They didn’t come quickly because it is a black neighborhood. They always respond slow and don’t take our crimes as seriously as the ‘white’ neighborhood only blocks away. It is a double standard and it is not even a wealth issue. It is all about skin color.

Do you know how many white men are in jail for doing stupid stuff like stealing a car, or money, or anything. Really, while men are just as likely to commit a crime as a black man is. So shut up, and continue failing at life.

That was extremely racist, Militant.
there’s nothing racist by pointing out that whites commit crimes just as likely as blacks. And you know what? Asians commit crimes. So do Hispanics, and Native Americans, and Middle Easterners. And every other fucking race on this planet.
Race is not what makes people committ crimes.

Are you sure your racist, non-Christian country-boy soul isn’t the possession of Satan? If it was pure, you would not be making your standard racist implications. I remember you from the convocation last year and your contributions to African charities still shock me. How can a man so racist give so much to the people you seem to hate? You are perplexing.

It was probably the reposession people, Bishop. Statistically speaking, black people hate to pay their bills and maybe your wife secretly perhaps took the car payment money and spent it on her hair and nails?
Sorry to be so harsh, but you’re being racist and bigoted. You’re trying to paint white cops in a bad light and that is not fair. You should apologize for lashing out with your genetic anger.

All races are capable of committing crimes. People dont commit crimes because of their skin color. They commit crimes due to their upbringing, social status, way of thinking, etc.

Preachers at black churches are notorious leeches and so are Union teachers. He confessed to being both so I do not see the problem calling another societal leech lazy and maybe asking if he’s living in his ‘nice’ black neighborhood is being bolstered by some…common black extracurriculars of illegal bearing.

Hey racist… Even white people have to wait for slow law enforcement to respond to calls. Get over your skin color and maybe you’d be able to create a culture to improve the service instead of simply spreading your racist bigotry out to the rest of the simple minded out there on the internet.

Brother TJ! Calling out the entire Atlanta Christwire staff? REALLY?!?!
I thought we got over this last week when you complained about getting a smaller office then you had before, after the emosexual arson event a few months ago.
I told you we have more writers now and the same amount of room. So everyone gets a smaller cubical area. It is simple math!
And trust me…NO ONE STOLE YOUR CHITTERLINGS…I do not know what happened to your lunch friday but none of us stole it!

You stole my thunder. The Bishop or whatever he is says he loves his family. If you love your family and want to protect them you must get a gun. The least you could have done was take a few potshots at these miscreants as they stole your vehicle.

It’s not just black people writing that. I am white, and my brother is white, and he writes that kinda stuff on his myspace, his fb status, his cell phone signature, his hands, etc etc.
I went to a predominately black high school. There were a fair amount of black people who were smart, ambitious, and didnt run around screaming “nigga i will fuck you up!” everytime some stepped on thier shoes.
