“Whatever. I guess they need to arrest more Latinos, Asian Americans, and whites. “
A white sheriff in a predominantly black county stopped by where I was working to look at the progress on his collector car. He related a story about a “huge” marihuana bust of a white couple that had taken place the previous weekend. It was all over the press. He said, (approximately) “It was ridiculous. They had a minor amount and it was almost all leaves and stems. They didn’t have any idea about the product. It was strictly home grown. I wanted to toss it. But we were instructed to throw the book at them because they were white and we are constantly being beat up on for arresting so many blacks.”
This is the same county that traded five of their prisoners to my county for five whites so they wouldn’t be considered racist for having 100% black prisoners. The whites didn’t make it a week before they were all in the hospital.
There is racism, but it isn’t what people think of as racism.
Sounds like busing (which quietly died when the neighborhoods expected to sacrifice their white children quickly emptied of whites)...
My son went to school with a lot of black kids. White and Asian kids could get detention for burping in class. It took a lot more than that for black kids to get detention.
