Ehh, don't know about that. And what do you mean "One of them white dudes they place in the same category as blacks"?
Been in that situation, and had my head slammed on a card hood by a police officer.
They did arrest 25 individuals that day though, but me being white didn't save me from anything.
I'm saying judging by looks they place some young white men in the same category as ALL black men. You said you have long hair and a beard, that's not exactly the clean whiteboy look. But if it comes down to it your skin color still earns you the benefit of the doubt.
