MC Hammer is not letting a little racial profiling get him down but is instead taking the whole experience in stride. The entertainer was arrested on Saturday (February 23) while visiting a friend in Dublin.
"Chubby Elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said 'Are you on parole or probation,' said Hammer. "While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet. It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!! But make no mistake he's dangerous."
The entertainer continued, "You have to know me to understand I was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me .. I had just left the weight room. I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy."
After being dragged out of his vehicle and charged with obstructing an investigation, of which he was soon released, MC took to his Twitter page to talk about the experience "Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a 'teachable moment' and 'eye opener' for my many friends & colleagues," tweeted the star. "My biggest concern ? What was it that they injected into my arm under the guise of a 'Skin Test.'"
