England's Moen Ali was detained at Airport..

 
Emir 2016-04-10 09:20:52 

For 40 minutes owing to "airport rules and regulations" He felt "humiliated." Happily none of his fellow cricketers had to face the same humiliation.

I actually quipped about the others being upset with him, for holding them up at airports...trying to be funny.

Wow...

This new reality is something else..

Shivnarine Chanderpaul mistaken to be an immigrant at Guyana airport
Despite admitting to have been taken aback at the questions, the diminutive but spunky Chanderpaul reacted to the incident in a manner typical of his several brave batting innings


How shiv come in this ?

 
Narper 2016-04-10 09:40:11 

Moeen Ali ✔ ‎@MoeenAli
Have never been stopped at the airport when travelling with a team in uniform, but travel alone and get stopped for 40 minutes!! Joke


40 mins seem too long...obviously he must have identified himself as an England cricketer early...

In the context of current terrorist threats all over...Moeen Ali could expect more of this...especially when half his face is hidden by a beard

That was racism or jealousy by a fellow Guyanese,against a Guyanese great,like the skunt didn't know Shiv Chanderpaul.

 
Chrissy 2016-04-10 10:07:19 

In reply to Tagwa1What reality - it's just the return of overt racism. 'My white culture' or the highway. Mankad them in every sphere.

On the contrary, there are security guards right here in Jamaica who do not recognize Courtney Walsh.

Lots more folks than you and I care to mention don't follow cricket. She's know Lebrun though.

The high profile PM of SVG Ralph Gonsalves was once treated undiplomatically at the Grantley Adams Airport in Barbados but he didn't create a big deal about it. Of course the personnel involved were embarrassed when they found out his identity.

the problem with profiling is that it tends to affect the innocent more that it disrupts the people you looking for.

 
Halliwell 2016-04-10 16:51:54 

It's only fair I guess

I admit to being the first one to pigeon hole an Indian, who wears dress pants, short sleeved plaid and sneakers, with a back pack.
Those types smell a lot like pickle. lol

 
Devin 2016-04-10 16:59:37 

In reply to camos

You see how Ali is an international cricketer? Now that certainly doesn't mean he isn't capable of some dubious activities, but what would be the reason to question him for 40 minutes?

Someone looks suspicious, do your background check, ask a few pertinent questions, and you're on your way. 5-10 minutes, any longer than that and it means that you have good reason to suspect the individual of a crime.

Seems like there's a lot of Fox news loyalists on this board. A man can't even grow a beard without y'all goading on your white masters to lynch him.
Of course it's no good telling you folks that in our history, the real terrorism had been done to us by the clean shaven boy next door all American type, and NOT guys who look like Amla or Moeen.

As long as people continue to commit terrorist acts:

De authorities will continue to try to make de place safe.

I am a cop with a strong Bajan ascent.

I got search leaving Jamaica from a Drug Course.
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.

I got detained for over two hours in Miami Airport
coming from a Drug Course on another occasion.
Missed my connection flight and delayed me.
I missed my planned shopping time in New York
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.


I got searched and dug up coming from Texas on a PhD residency.
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.


I got dug up and searched on many occasions.
I carry my police badge in my pocket and I never used it.

Authorities do their work to stop smugglers,
terrorist, criminal on the run etc..
Some go overboard, I will admit.

But If they can detain a cop (me) for over 2 hours
BTW..at anytime i could have pulled my cop badge and
state who i am to get out quick.
But why should i when i know dem doing their job.

I do not commit crime,
I do not carry packages from anyone (travelling)
I do not smuggle drugs.
I am not a terorist.

I am a simple cop traveling when i feel like or for work.

I have many contacts and work associations with Homeland Security etc,
and never used them to bail me out.
I dont need to as I am clean.
I love that people are working to make us safe.
I actually do that job to make you safe.

A lot of you ungrateful bastards cuss
authorities for doing the job....
But what happens when we fail,,,
A plane crashes,,
People shoot people in malls etc..
People commit suicide bombings etc....

You cant have it both ways.
Terrorist do not carry signs saying
look at me, I'm going to blow u up etc..

I side with authorities on this.

Fack Ali. At least he got home safe.

Racial profiling happens often in the UK....

In reply to mikesiva

Racial profiling of any kind,be it in New York, New Delhi or Uk, is wrong and ineffective as a deterent to crimes.

Many IN Here Who stupidly support the authorities in the Moen Ali affair will scream murder when young African American men are stop and frisk by police in the USA, for the crime of being black when driving.

Look, no one wants to be profiled but if members of a particular race (my race included) presented such an imminent danger to society, by all means, profile me.
