Reer Alberta Somali's Racially Profiled

[Lady Whistledown]

To be fair Jamaicans in Toronto copy Somalis too. I've seen them call people bakhtis, dhagax tuurs. I have even seen them call their mothers hooyo. It's a free for all.

s are the easiest group to racially profile.

The only country in the world where you can tell the nationality by face.

I mean there are quite a few nationalities that are extremely easy to distinguish.
I will agree that Somalis have gotta be one of the most distinctive ethnic groups out there, though.

Stop & searches we aren't obliged
To provide our names.

Traffic tickets - if their pulled over
License and insurance

It seems Canada's law enforcement
Aren't that different from the U.S.

The UK is the same. Cops can’t charge you without access to your name. If you don’t give it that’s a crime.

They’re like anyone else. If you give them a hard time they’ll give you a hard time. Although they change their approach to you if they think you know the law. In Canada many cops don’t have law degrees. Some even just have high school.

I just don't like the concept of
Authority.

Damn, of course they get scared
Once they realise that you know
Your rights.

But I have Personally intervened
On them trying to violate certain
Ppl just because they thought
They didn't know any better

Abuse of this so called power
Is wide spread, they need to
Hire ppl who are qualified

And yes race is always a factor
But not all cops are racist

Lol. I also don’t like authority. I like rules only when they are enforced against others.

We agree on something

I have a great relationship with the police. I deal with them constantly and I have learned how to interact with them.

Most of the ghetto youth hate the popo.

Why are people so against showing their ID anyway?
