The group, spearheaded by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), called on the Department of Transportation to condemn the “status quo of traffic enforcement” and to create reforms to reduce racial inequality in traffic stops.

My good friend Gigi, a black woman, is terrified of driving thru small towns. She insists that “driving while black” at or below the posted speed limit thru any semi rural town will invariably result in the “Emmett Till treatment.”
Therefore, she reasons, it is best policy to stomp the accelerator in order to get the hell out of “whiteville” as fast as possible, and back to the big city where she feels safer.
I’ve tried to explain that the speed gradually decreases at approach to ANY populated area and the schools (which are invariably on the main drag/highway) then increases again when you get back on the open highway, so obeying the speed signs isnt hard at all. But she’s having none of it.

She insists “racism” is the only reason she is invariably pulled over and ticketed for speeding thru small towns.

The Congressional Black Caucus needs to understand: it was THEIR ANCESTORS WHO ROUNDED THEM UP AND SOLD THEM AS SLAVES TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

It wasn't us.

No countries in the world went into Africa and hunted down blacks.

No countries in the west or Asia or anywhere rounded up their own citizens and SOLD THEM AS A CASH CROP.

YOUR OWN village elders SOLD YOU. SO GET OFF OUR BACKS.

Not one Western country sold their fellow citizens to foreign countries... No Asian countries sold their fellow citizens to foreign countries. It was only blacks. Only Africans.

I suggest the Congressional Black Caucus saves a little of your thin skinned outrage for the people who sold them.

We in the West ended slavery and put YOUR ancestors OUT OF BUSINESS. A little gratitude is in order. And if American blacks and the Congressional Black Caucus can't so that maybe they can at least stop the self-pity party they're addicted to.

Does anyone see the hideousness of this? On one side you have ignorant negroes that can’t read, write or speak the American language. On the other side you have a incompetent faggot. Be certain that this incomprehensible letter will do absolutely no good.

In other words, let “people of color “ go free but stop and arrest Whiteys who do the same thing.

The inequality will stop when blacks start obeying the traffic laws in greater numbers. Obey the traffic laws and police will not stop you, as a rule.
