This becomes suddenly far more understandable when you open the article and notice the band director isn't white.
and it'll also explain why nothing will come of it too.
The police will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.
There's a word for this situation. I can't remember it, but it's reich there, white on the tip of my tongue...
But he couldn't be racist, his wife's best eye is black.
That's tremendous. If you came up with that, good job.
Absolutely beauty of a joke right there. Thank you.

I opened the article just to see and wasn't at all surprised.
Did you actually watch the video to see that 1/2 the cops and people telling him to stop were also not white, or do you enjoy getting race-baited??
I don't even think that they're racist in the same way as white officers, or at least not all of them. I think for a portion it's like a Stockholm syndrome kind of thing where they finally are working side by side with their oppressors and want to be part of the in club and will do anything to get there.
