- jmorphy88 11y agoHuh? Why is harder to ask "is that a question or an order?" if you're black?
- eevilspock 11y agoAsk some black friends of yours, particularly less privileged ones. Do that even if you're black yourself.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIts harder -- or, perhaps more accurately, "less of an apparently viable course of action" -- if you have experience, first- or second-hand, which indicates that failure to submit to even superficially non-mandatory requests of a police officer has a non-negligible likelihood of resulting in escalation with potentially serious personal consequences. I suspect that part of eevilspock's basis for the statement was a belief (which I would think is justified) that these experiences are substantially correlated with race.
