[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1034229, member: 82670"] The structural element wouldn’t be concerned about whether the woman cop was racist or not. It doesn’t mean they assume the cop thought I’m going to kill this guy because he’s black. The structural element would focus on why he was pulled over in the first place and whether black people, particularly black men, are disproportionately pulled over for no reason. In this case maybe the “random traffic stop” wasn’t so random. I guess that would be the thing that would be frustrating for a lot of African Americans. I’d also say that perhaps, and I’d need to see evidence on this, that because there’s such an ingrained fear of black men in America, that these incidents tend to be handled very differently by police when it’s a white suspect compared to a black one. Considering it’s history I’d say it would be very hard for America’s instititions not to be racist. It was founded on it. Same goes for us in the UK though to a lesser degree in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
