So I've been thinking a lot about this, and yes, it was brought on by more VH1.

I was watching Dr. Dre talk about how the police in LA were and are so discriminatory and he mentioned how the song F___ tha Police came about. He said he had been driving around South Central LA with Eazy E who was shooting a paintball gun at people waiting at bus stops. It had red paintballs so the people thought they were really getting shot. And then, gasp, they were chased by police! The horrors! the police had them out of their car on the ground! Oh my!

Are you kidding me? I couldn't do that in small town Ohio, let alone a high crime area like South Central LA. What would you expect the police to do in a situation like that? I mean, come on!

I do believe the police in general do a lot of racial profiling and that there are in all liklihood a lot of racist police officers. But in this particular instance, I can't really see that they were being racist or doing the wrong thing. It just seems that he was being totally unrealistic in thinking he could go down the street shooting red paintballs at people and it would all be okay. That's stupid! They didn't stop you because you were black, they stopped you because you were shooting red paintballs at people dumbass!

I dunno, it just bugged me. Then last night hearing the Notorious BIG saying he sold crack because he had to support his family, while they show a street mural saying "drugs are the new slavery". So why the hell would he want to sell crack to his fellow African Americans who were struggling just like he was? Talk about dancing on the backs of the bruised.
