(Perhaps the black jurors convinced their white counterparts on this point, but that rests on the large assumption that a group of pseudo-randomly selected white people were down with confronting their own privilege.)joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-30503732992785971592010-05-17T12:58:04.321-07:002010-05-17T12:58:04.321-07:00xephyr, how do you know they thought that?

I'm not trying to badger you or anything, it's just I've never heard of the "biker in full coverage, must be black" stereotype.joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-47192708619412431092010-05-17T09:13:45.629-07:002010-05-17T09:13:45.629-07:00I've been pulled over before when riding and k...I've been pulled over before when riding and know it was because they thought I was black underneath my full coverage, smoked helmet, gloves, leathers, and sportbike. Neither time was I doing anything that could have been construed as wrong.xephyrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-79176070822519556552010-05-17T04:15:47.519-07:002010-05-17T04:15:47.519-07:00If you look at the right up in the Houston Chronic...If you look at the right up in the Houston Chronicle, http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7000991.html, the police believed the car was stolen because the tag number was incorrectly entered into the dashboard computer. AT least the newspaper article does not support the claim of profiling. In addition, there were other policemen on the scene. And last, why does a 23 y/o adult need his mother getting involved in a traffic stop. <br /><br />Are you really going to argue that police should ignore stolen car reports if a black man is driving the car? I guess that would make sense for people who believe that colleges should have different admission standards for whites and blacks or that the government should punish and reward ethnic and racial groups.Superdestroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708119879383713312noreply@blogger.com
