SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. — Sylvie Nelson’s border crossings are anything but routine. Customs agents sometimes order her out of her car. Twice, they handcuffed her in front of her young children. Once, agents swarmed her car and handcuffed her husband, too. She tells them: It’s not me you want, it’s a man with the same birth date and a similar name. Agents always confirm that and let her go. Then it happens again. And again. “I can understand one missed identification,” Nelson said. “But over and over and over again?” Nelson, a 44-year-old white woman, keeps getting snared at the Canadian border because she apparently shares some key identifying information with a black man, possibly from Georgia, who is in trouble with the law. While such cases of mistaken identity at border points and airports are not unique, Nelson’s case is unusual in that only some of her crossings set off an alarm and because federal officials have not fixed the problem after almost two years.
First of all this chick looks absolutely nothing like a black dude. Like not even close. Second of all like Fark said, if you’re a white woman, and you keep getting arrested crossing the border after being mistaken for a black man…it just might be time for a makeover. I mean all I know is that if you tell a chick you don’t like her shirt or playfully pinch her stomach she starts crying and locks herself in the bathroom and pukes all night. Can only imagine what it’s got to feel like to be a middle aged white woman and keep getting slammed on the hood of your car in front of your kids because you look like a black man. If that shit doesn’t give you some sort of complex I don’t know what could.
PS- Got to love the image of these border cops’ faces when they realize their mistake for the 19th time. Oh you can relax guys, it’s not a black guy! It’s just that really ugly bitch again!
