Tyler Perry's April 1 Facebook post about police pulling him over was no April Fool's joke: The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling.

Four days later, Perry's post boasts more than 117,000 "likes," 21,000 comments, and 12,000 shares. Atlanta police have launched an internal investigation, E! News reports.

Perry's predicament began when he admittedly made a left turn from a far-right lane -- a trick his security detail taught him, to make sure he wasn't being followed, Perry explained on Facebook.

Two white Atlanta police officers pulled him over, but apparently did not realize they'd just stopped Tyler Perry.

As a sign of solidarity with Mr. Perry I will now make all left hand turns from the far right lane...while wearing a hoodie.

And why would this innocent little angel be concerned about being followed?

Followed by whom? Some of 0bama0’s sons?

It doesn’t matter who taught it to him, it’s
an illegal turn.

why? because a tiny electronic device is an instant mob.

Internal Investigation?

Race of cops: Doesn’t matter.

Alleged...gasp... celebrity of entitlement racist thug: Doesn’t matter.

Making a Left from a Far Right lane: Matters.

Next....

A black officer arriving on the scene immediately recognized Perry. The solution is: White people need to become Tyler Perry fans!!!;)

"Two white Atlanta police officers pulled him over, but apparently did not realize they'd just stopped Tyler Perry."

First, who is "Tyler Perry"?

Second, who gives a crap who makes an illegal traffic maneuver, and the idea that "did not realize they'd just stopped "XXXXXXX" (fill in the blank), should NEVER make a difference, period.

What is that pesky 14th Amendment regarding "Equal Treatment Under the Law"?

So, being stopped for making an illegal turn is now racist. Oy.

Neither have I.

My guess is that he’s a “rapper”. You know, the guys in the ‘hood that rap about hos and n***as and raping white girls and killing white people, especially cops.

What are the odds that I can beat an “exhibition of speed” ticket on my Harley because I’m female?
