Comment: I read about this yesterday. All any of us can do is pray. No matter what ethnicity, 'americans' do not fare well in foreign jails. In many nations food, water, soap and etcetera are bartered in exchange for whatever a prisoner has or is willing to do. I will not 'kick a man when he's down,' but I will say Dallas knew better. He took a great, and grave chance and the result is his current condition.

Comment: I work in Iraq and I fly through Dubai about twice every 4 months. Recently, they have begun cracking down on drug trafficking and targeting black men. They have about 7 of our black guys from my company over there in prison right now for trying to bring weed back to make these long days we work shorter. I have a friend who was cleared and released because they assumed benadryl capsules were filled with cocaine. He spent 6 days in jail before he was cleared. People need to realize they can not be coming all across the world with that sh*t. These people do not play. Dubai is a beautiful place and is very Americanized. It reminds me of Miami. The shopping is off the chain, and they have clubs and things to do, but the clubs are packed with prostitutes. I choose to shop and sleep when I am there. Dubai has one of the most sophisticated airport security in the world. I have seen people with contraband come all the way from the United States, through Europe, just to get busted in Dubai. Anybody flying over there, I urge you to beware. They are strict, thorough and your rights are not the same as in the US. The people of UAE are tired of Americans coming over there with that ghetto and redneck drama and they are simply cracking down. I don't blame them. When I talk to people there, they think America is gripped by drugs and murder and they are leery of black people anyway. They always reference what they saw on TV. The only views of us they have are what is on TV and they do get TV shows from the US, so we all know how American media portrays us. It's a shame for this fool and others to go over there and co-sign the stereotype...

Comment: I am wondering if I should be upset because more people have commented on Jay-Zs ability to remember his f**in lines than on the freedom of a brotha that probably only had like a doobie, or roach he forgot to throw away! (I don't know, but it just seems odd to me).

Comment: I think that cocoryder is right. People from this country carry on like they can do what they want and where they want and when they say "I am an American" everyone should just think it is alright. Well it is not. I live in ATL, home of Dallas Austin and very few people here are saying a word about this. He was in the wrong, you should not be traveling with contraband and he better be careful before they string his narrow behind up over there. They don't play and it is their right. Too arrogant, too ignorant, poor representation of black America...and you wonder why the world thinks of "us" as they do, because look how we conduct ourselves when going to someone else's country.
