You were a juror, then, and heard ALL the details that convinced the rest of the jury? Or are you just making presumptions based on race...i.e. being racist?

Oh, yeah. Because, in small little redneck towns, there's NO SUCH THING as corruption. Police, Judges, Prosecutors...they're all upstanding citizens. No white people ever have any trouble.
Again...you're making presumptions based on race. If black people have been abused by the law, then of course NO white person ever was.

*sigh*
How about "especially if you are carrying a gun"? I've been tossed to the ground for telling a cop up front I had a weapon in
my trunk! He asked, I told, he went into combat mode. He didn't give a shit that I was middle-class whitey. Why do you think only black people get harassed by police? Policemen are essentially bullies who took a job where they get to carry a gun and tell people what to do. The kind of man who pursues that job is automatically suspect in my book. And bad cops are abusive to everyone, not just blacks.
You
assume that middle-class whitey can't understand what it's like to be black. Why not ALSO assume that blacky can't imagine what it's like to be middle-class whitey? What makes the black brain so superior that they can easily understand every nuance of everybody else's lives, but everyone else is way too stupid to ever understand what it's like to black?
When you're dealing with the corruption of government, you're looking at usurpation of power and infringement of rights. There's no class, color, religion, or creed they won't trample. Get over yourself and quit assuming that greed and corruption give a flying fuck what color you are.
Incidentally, the cop that lost his mind over my rifle in the trunk...was black. You
do realize there are black cops, black judges, black politicians, and they're just as corrupt as the white ones. How do they fit into your racist theory of white oppression?
