By Mo Barnes
It was then, according to Blac Youngsta, a police officer pointed a gun at his head. The rapper said, They come bum rushing me at the car, put me on the ground; putting guns to my head, so Im like What did I do? A lady was like Im not supposed to have $200,000 on me. Im like, Im a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?
Media was on scene to record the drama as police claimed that someone wrote a fraudulent check previously and they thought he was the suspect. Blac Youngsta stated, They confused me but Im legit. While being detained Atlanta police took $100K in cash from the rapper while they were completing their investigation. When the police checked his account Blac Youngsta had $1.3 million deposited. Eventually police returned his money and issued an apology over the incident. Youngsta, They couldnt believe I was young, Black, handsome as hell and they couldnt believe I was getting $200K out. I had my Rolex on with all the diamonds in it, all my rich stuff today.
When asked why he did not just write a check for the car he said, The thing is Im a rapper. How I live my life, I dont believe in checks. Ive always dreamed about going in the bank, getting a half a million out and taking it to the car lot. Where I come from we dont believe in taking checks to the car lot we pay cash money. He stated that he carries a $100K on him all the time and because the police made him so mad he just might go to the strip club and spend the cash.

(268,644 posts)What I don't get is the hate - after all we didn't enslave any white Americans. Institutional racism is live and well. Obama fucked up their heads royally.
They will probably stop and threaten Obama and the SS after he leaves the WH.

(15,703 posts)Just thought no it didn't they did not shoot him, because he had money on him and did not want to get the money bloody. So I guess it still works out Native American, African American, Hispanic, rich African American, rich Hispanic, Poor white etc.
I was worried that someone had changed the pecking order and that would really cause problems with the rednecks and cops.
Nope, Obama will still be wealthy so I guess he will be safe. Just have to be known to have a lot of money on him so the police won't risk getting the money messy.
It is so sad to make a joke about it, but it is so damn apparent. When I was a kid at least the racism was openly violent. Sure POC got roughed up in daylight but not openly killed in the daylight. Not it is scary because they do not care if someone video's them killing someone right out in the open.
It is scary times.
