Little History
I remember this when i was a kid, Richard Pryor spoken these words in 1974 sadly they still apply.
"Cops put a hurtin' on your ass, man, you know. They really degrade you. White folks don't believe that shit, don't believe cops degrade;--`Ah, come on, those beatings, those people were resisting arrest. I'm tired of this harassment of police officers.' Cause the police live in your neighborhood, see, and you be knowin' 'em as Officer Timpson. `Hello Officer Timpson, going bowling tonight? Yes, uh, nice Pinto you have, ha, ha, ha.' Niggers* don't know 'em like that. See, white folks get a ticket, they pull over, `Hey, Officer, yes, glad to be of help, here you go.' A nigger got to be talkin' 'bout `I AM REACH-ING INTO MY POCK-ET FOR MY LICENSE--'cause I don't wanna be no motherfuckin' accident!'
"Police degrade you. I don't know, you know, it's often you wonder why a nigger don't go completely mad. No, you do. You get your shit together, you work all week, right, then you get dressed--maybe say a cat make $125 a week, get $80 if he lucky, right, and he go out, get clean, be drivin' with his old lady, goin' out to a club, and the police pull over, `Get outta the car, there was a robbery--nigger look just like you. Alright, put your hands up, take your pants down, spread your cheeks!' Now, what nigger feel like havin' fun after that? `No, let's just go home, baby.' You go home and beat your kids and shit--you gonna take that shit out on somebody." from That Nigger's* Crazy, 1974
