“So, no, America is not executing black men or white men for petty offenses, but by multiplying those petty offenses America is placing its police and its citizens at increased risk for tension, confusion, anger, and — ultimately — death.” NationalReview

Makes the point that we’re getting a lot of blacks (poor and minorities in general) getting arrested for some pretty benign stuff. My favorite is that many states require hair braiders—think the cornrows you’ll see on many black women—to get hundreds or thousands of hours of practice cutting and shampooing caucasian hair before they’re allowed to legally braid black hair for pay. It just boggles the mind at times.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
