Black Republican Lawmaker Says He’s Repeatedly Pulled Over By Cops

  1. I'm afraid the Senator can thank the extreme crime rate in the black community. There is no trust of STRANGERS who are black, due to experience. If their crime rate was anywhere close to that of whites, Asians, or even Hispanics, they would not be experiencing this. It makes extra work, requires more energy and paperwork, and possible physical risk. Why would they do that? Stop ignoring black crime rates. It is the engine driving all of this.
