I found it posted at savagepolitics.com. It does sound so stupid that you should think that it was a joke. Couldn't find a news report to link it with??????

No, the site states it is not.

Ruane claims the lung capacity of a black man is 3 percent smaller than a white man and, therefore, black men's test results vary from the sobriety standard set by the device.
That's racist to say that something is racist. And it's racist to notice that it's racist and say something about its being racist.
Racist rants give me a headache.

Much better now thank you. I’m just glad they didn’t try to use the blond breathalyzer on me.

You’re a racist for saying that it’s racist to say something is racist. Racist.

Thank you officer. I watch enough of “Cops” to see that there are two or three tests before the breathalizer comes out. The first are eyes. And if he has a car cam the guy is toast. If I were the Judge I would say “Bailiff arrest this Lawyer ‘cause he has to be high on something”

And a recent McRonald's commercial featuring an NBA pro stated he had 30%
more lung capacity and "mad skills" (whatever that's supposed to mean).
We are now in an Orwellian age where Caucasions are automatically racists because they didn't make the choice to be born otherwise. I know - that makes as much sense as most black folks voting for a guy they know nothing about strictly because he's somewhat Black.
That can't be right because that would be evidence of racism. Racism before common sense, no less. Plus we've been told that the Hispanic vote would NEVER support a person who consistently backs abortion, partial-birth abortion and, in all likelihood, Chinese style leaving the baby girl on the hill for the wildlife to eat.

If Black men have less lung capacity....
....then how is it Kenyans are some of the greatest long-distance runners in the world? While your at it, explain away just about the entire NBA. I mean you just have to have huge lung capacity and endurance to run up and down a wooden floor for more than an hour almost non-stop.
I guess it just doesn’t take much intelligence to get a law degree or pass the bar these days when shysters can come up with this crap.
