    UK pop star Jamelia has accused the police of racism, saying she is regularly pulled over when she is driving. The singer, 30, said that she was stopped "at least once a month" because of the color of her skin.

    Writing on Twitter, she said: "The police make me f****** sick...The amount of times I've been pulled over for nothing is ridiculous...racism is alive and kicking people."

    She told her followers: "I was not even driving, I was sat in my car parked up. They said to me they have reason to believe my tax disc is counterfeit. When I asked them what this 'reason' was, they were stumped."

    The Superstar singer added: "They checked everything...including my tyre pressure (all legit). They then went on to say they don't see how this...can be my car! They didn't know I was Jamelia when they approached me, they just saw a black girl in an Adidas tracksuit and cap, in an expensive car."

    The mother of two, who did not say where she was stopped, added later: "I'm over it now."

    There isnt anything she said that should considered racist.....if she slammed ALL WHITE PEOPLE, especially men, then u would have a point, and even then NO black women would dare do that, especially if they were famous. Black Brits love white folks, especially the women, and love them more when they are making money. Black females even when they date out would whine about racism, but that doesn't stop them from doing so. SO I say boohoo, get over it, shit happens.
