I actually call bs on that. I'm not "gettin' with my black brothers" (or in this case sister): I just think that whether the colour matters or not, the fact that this kind of thing can happen in this day and age is just unbelievable.
And the trooper was suspended for --- wait for it -- lack of courtesy??
Don't you think the media should be highlighting this? If they weren't you'd be saying there was some conspiracy to keep such stories out of the news. Can't win with you man, can't win.
