See? Now this mentality of people, whether police or not, to automatically
suspect people just 'cause they're black is the racist part.
This is what makes *me* 'mad enuf to puke'
Pointing out that DWB's happen is *not* racist--pointing out that rich white
men have and continue to 'have an easier ride, than, well, non rich white
folks, is not racist--and is, in fact, pointing out the racism in the system.
Thanks Bruce for pointing it out so clearly.

| (...) DAVID!!! THE POINT BEING MADE *REALLY* IS THAT IT IS THE *RICH* WHO HAVE THE EASIER RIDE!!! It doesn't matter about their skin color!! Black millionares skate just as easily as white ones!! Sometimes better! Ask OJ. -John (24 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
