For the sake of argument say you make $30,000-$50,000 you're competing with people of color in that salary range for housing, loans, etc. White people make on average a much higher salary than black people, get approved for more loans, housing, and are less likely to be pulled over by police.

Darnell Dockett is a millionaire and one of the highest payed players for the Cardinals. Before I continue I should point out this is all from his POV and while I won't say he is incapable of lying, he is a very honest person, willing to speak his mind. He criticized Cardinals' management publicly when they traded Boldin and let Rolle & Dansby go. Also the police refused comment on this incident but stated he didn't receive a ticket.

Even as a millionaire I strongly believe he was harassed and racial profiled.

I've been pulled over a few times and never had nothing remotely close to what happened here. I cannot think of any other reason for this level harassment except that it was due to his race.
