The rapper Blac Youngsta, real name Sam Benson, was recently the victim of what could only be called “Banking While Black.” The rapper, whose real name is Sam Benson, was intending to purchase a new Mercedes Benz. So, he went to a Wells Fargo branch near the upscale Buckhead section of Atlanta. After withdrawing $200,000 in cash he exited the bank and police were waiting for him.

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 I’m like ‘What did I do?’ A lady was like I’m not supposed to have…$200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m 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 I’m 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 couldn’t believe I was young, Black, handsome as hell and they couldn’t 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 I’m a rapper. How I live my life, I don’t believe in checks. I’ve 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 don’t 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.

1. Not one African-American is safe - rich, poor, male female, gay straight

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.

4. That kind over blew up my line about rich people being handled differently,

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.

6. Isn't that the truth!

And use disability money and welfare money to buy guns. Wonder who's changing those checks???

2. I wonder what percentage of the investigative effort involved searching for an excuse

to keep that $100k?

Sounds like he's taking it in stride and with good humor, but he really shouldn't have to...

3. Bundyman says that he is the wrong skin color, authorities are at level brown scary alertman.

This country just loves it's authoritarian white conservative roidraging shitheads. We have droves of them flopping all over themselves in an attempt to bootlick and beatdown.

White supremacy? Yeah a lot of that.
