Is Being Black and Rich a Crime?



Your Black World reports

 

Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans found himself in the center of police attention recently when an anonymous citizen called the police to report “high-end cars” coming into and out of Johnson’s complex.  The police suspected drug activity, so they went to the house to investigate.  The Orlando Police quickly realized that there was nothing illegal happening at Johnson’s house, so they left.

Johnson then sent this note out onto Twitter:

“Y did the police just walk in my condo saying they think it’s drug activity because it’s alot of traffic but it was the MTV camera crew.” He then added, “Hard being young, black and rich.”
