You just can't resist taking any chance to abuse and insult me, can you? I suppose that speaks more to your own failings than mine. Nobody's perfect, but you go ahead and work out your persecution complex on me, sure why not? Also, since you opened with such a sentence, I was talking to jwb not you originally, so touche, turtle.
Also, I'm only progressive when it comes to rock.

Fifty-eight. Almost sixty now. Must remember to go pick out a nice coffin before it's too late.

Being white has definitely come in handy but it's not some sort of invincibility cloak. If a cop finds you with your car broken down they're probably going to stop and question you.
As plankton intuited I'm not street legal yet plus yes if a cop smells weed they can use that as probable cause to search your vehicle.
What's funny is i have these giant get vaccinated signs in my trunk i was planning on doing something with. I think it'd be interesting to see what the cops would've made of that.

Well I prefer your response, which at least didn't have bile and vitriol spewing out of it just because I got it wrong. Thanks for your politeness.

White privilege means this didn’t happen to me *because* of my skin color. Not that I am untouchable.

All of which convinces me further than America sucks.
