They can go anywhere, at any time, and they are never hastled. Not me....I get the third degree whereever I go. It just isnt fair, and even with Obama as president, things are not better for blacks. Maybe some day, but not yet. What I hate the most is traveling overseas. My white companions just show their passport and go on. My passport always is sent to the office and held there. The white security seems to get pleasure from delaying me. Times aint a chingin!! Racisn is still alive and well!! I sometimes travel for business with white folk.

No matter what complaint you bring to the Head of Belgium Eurostar UK Border Agency,they just laugh it off! It reminds me of Nazi Police, looking for Jews!
